The Telling Image explores the power of photography to document and shape social change. Through a collection of compelling images, the book tells the stories of people and communities who have used photography to raise awareness, inspire action, and create a more just world.
Photography as a Tool for Social Change
Photography has long been used as a tool for social change. In the 19th century, photographers such as Jacob Riis and Lewis Hine used their images to expose the plight of the poor and working class. In the 20th century, photographers such as Dorothea Lange and Gordon Parks used their work to document the Great Depression and the civil rights movement.
In recent years, photography has continued to play a vital role in social change movements. For example, the work of photojournalist James Nachtwey has helped to raise awareness of the humanitarian crisis in Darfur. The work of photographer Zanele Muholi has helped to raise awareness of the rights of LGBTQ people in South Africa.
