Political Photography

Political Photography explores the significant role of photography in shaping political discourse and public opinion. It reveals how images are not passive records but active agents in constructing narratives that influence power structures.

The book highlights how photography has been used in election campaigns to craft candidate personas, swaying voters, and in protest movements to amplify marginalized voices. For example, consider how a single image can galvanize public support for or against a political cause, illustrating the power of visual rhetoric.

The book examines the use of photography across three critical areas: election campaigns, protest movements, and political events, providing insights into media literacy and political strategy. Beginning with core concepts like visual propaganda and photojournalism ethics, it progresses through case studies, analyzing how photographs shape our understanding of events and influence political decisions.

It also addresses ethical considerations, such as the use of digitally altered images and bias in photojournalism, equipping readers with the tools to critically analyze today's media landscape.
