商品描述

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.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

你想透過相機的鏡頭改變世界。你希望透過一次按下快門捕捉到有力的時刻,影響其他人的思想。攝影圖像是用來倡導社會和環境意識的最受歡迎的工具之一。這可以是與你生活息息相關的毒品使用、賣淫或污染,也可以是與你遙不可及的饑荒、戰爭以及難民和移工的困境有關。一個著名的活動攝影師的例子是風景攝影師 Ansel Adams,他攜帶著美國西部的驚人圖像前往華盛頓,倡導保護這些地區。他的圖像和證詞在創建國家公園系統和為黃石國家公園爭取特定保護方面起到了重要作用。最近,Robert Glenn Ketchum 的阿拉斯加北極國家野生動物保護區的圖像提高了人們對保護該地區的認識。Nigel Barker 的海豹照片則反對海豹捕獵。你的目標是什麼,你如何利用相機讓世界變得更美好?這本書提供了攝影作為行動主義的全面理論和歷史。它還包括與當代攝影師的訪談。這是對年輕攝影師發起行動的呼籲,一種入門指南,提供如何與非政府組織和非營利組織合作的建議,如何在衝突地區安全工作,以及在網站、博客和互動機構上進行分發的建議。本書以鮮豔的全彩圖像激發靈感,將教你如何通過攝影為你的事業獲得曝光,涵蓋饑荒、戰爭、環境等主要行動主義主題,並教授良好的技巧(從情感到構圖),以確保你傳達你的訊息。
