You want to look through the lens of your camera and change the
world. You want to capture powerful moments in one click that will
impact the minds of other people. Photographic images are one of
the most popular tools used to advocate for social and
environmental awareness. This can be as close to home as drug use,
prostitution, or pollution or as far away as famine, war, and the
plight of refugees and migrant workers. One well-known example of
an activist photographer would be landscape photographer Ansel
Adams, who trudged to Washington with stunning images of the
American west to advocate protecting these areas. His images and
testimony were instrumental in creating the National Park System
and garnering specific protection for Yellowstone National Park.
More recently Robert Glenn Ketchum's images of Alaska's Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge raised awareness of why this area should
be protected. Nigel Barker's seal photographs advocates against
seal clubbing. What is your cause and how can you use your camera
to make the world a better place?This book provides a comprehensive
theory of, and history of, photography as activism. It also
includes interviews with contemporary photographers. It is a call
to action for young photographers to become activists, a primer of
sorts, with advice for how to work with NGOs and non-profits, how
to work safely in conflict zones and with suggestions for
distribution on websites, blogs, and interactive agencies.
