Communicating the Environment Beyond Photography
«With the passion of a concerned photojournalist and the definitional clarity of a scholar, Michelle I. Seelig lays the foundation for a theory of environmental photography. She clearly distinguishes the genre of environmental photography from nature and conservation photography and makes a solid case for the power of visual advocacy to shift how we perceive and interact with the environment.»
(Julianne H. Newton, Edwin L. Artzt Interim Dean and Professor of Visual Communication, University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication)
«Michelle I. Seelig brings us on a timely journey through the visual representation of our world and our relationship to it. She movingly explains, not only why seeing is believing, but also why that is critical when photographic evidence of controversial environmental issues are so necessary.»
(Roxanne M. O’Connell, Professor of Communication, Roger Williams University)
Looks at how photographers visualize what is happening to people and places on a changing planet. The author draws attention to what compels photographers to focus on these messages, what tools they are using to advocate for just causes, and how photographers engage directly with citizens in a meaningful conversation beyond the photograph.
