Whether inscribed in physical media, projected on surfaces, or
viewed on digital devices, we find ourselves constantly inundated
with streams of visual data. Yet, we know surprisingly little about
how these images are made, especially in journalistic contexts
where representations are long-lasting and where repercussions can
be dramatic. To See and Be Seen considers some of the ideological,
aesthetic, pragmatic, institutional, cultural, commercial,
environmental, and psychological forces that consciously or
otherwise shape the production of news images and subsequently
influence their reception. T. J. Thomson examines the expectations,
experiences, and reactions of those depicted by visual journalists
and considers other relevant factors: how do everyday people
perceive cameras and those who operate them? How are identities
visually represented and presented to different audiences? And how
does the physical and the socially constructed environment shape
those depictions? The results of Thomson's research provide one of
the first empirical and real-time glimpses into the experience of
being in front of a journalist's lens. To See and Be Seen enables
us to understand the stories behind images by considering the
environment in which such images are made, the exchange (if one
occurred) between the camera-wielding observer and the observed,
the identities of both parties, and how they react to the
representations that are created.
