Political Photography The Objective Of Research Proposal

(Robinson, 2002, p. 180) According to Robinson (2002) the shutter speed used can have a "dramatic effect" on the photograph. Summary and Conclusion

Many technological advances took place in the 19th and 20th century and included in these changes were developments in camera and film that enabled the field of photography to expand greatly. Photographs began to be used in new ways and particularly in documenting not only events but lives and this included those in the public eye and the lives of individuals throughout society.

The adjustment of the shutter speed enabled photographers to make the dull dramatic and enabled those who would influence politics and society through a creative tool to do precisely that. The increase of shutter speeds further allowed the photographer to have more control over their work and specifically, the increase in shutter speeds allowed the photographers to produce clear and sharp images as compared to the earlier blurred images.

The ethnographic studies of the 19th century through use of photographs offer a candid view of life and those who lived during that century. Photography began to be used for advertising and news reporting when cameras were designed and developed that allowed for freedom in movement and rendered to society were photographs of the fantastic and the common which have resulted in an archival record of vast proportions documenting these the 19th and 20th centuries.
