To all those at the collaborating establishment, the Imperial War Museum, and in particular to the Keeper of Photographs, Robert Crawford, and the Assistant Keeper, Jane Carmichael. To Mike Willis, in their Photographic Archive, for his forbearance with my incessant telephone calls and requests for information, and to all the Photographic Library staff for their courtesy and help in tracing and placing photographs and documents. Many people who gave their time have been referred to in the .bibliography, but I wo~ld like to make a collective thank-you, as so many extended both their knowledge and the hospitality of their homes, which made the research a pleasant task. My appreciation to them all. For going over and above the call of duty in her time and enthusiasm, I would like also to thank Gail Buckland for her guidance and advice at a time when she was very busy preparing the Cecil Beaton exhibition book. Professors Margaret Harker and Nicholas Pro nay also gave much valuable advice and help at various stages in the project, and Professor Arthur Marwick has been unstinting in his help and critical encouragement throughout the work, and in many ways provided the initial inspiration for the study. Charles Craig Barnet, Herts. July, 1982 THE BRITISH DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPH AS A MEDIUM OF INFORMATION AND PROPAGANDA DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1939-1945 by Charles Craig AIIP MSIAD ARPS ACP ABSTRACT The use of the documentary photograph as a means of recording war and human conflict is widely accepted, yet rarely analysed in terms of the evidence such images claim to portray. Existing studies have been directed towards the photograph as an end in itself, rather than as a means to an end in a broader context. This Thesis will trace the development of the documentary movement in outline, expanding in depth when referring to the British involvement within the tradition during the Second World War. The centrality of the Thesis will rest upon the need to discern between the actuality photograph as evidence when framed or presented within persuasive and propaganda terms, and the record photograph which informs and illustrates by factual content alone. Parallel to this study will be an analysis of the control and censorship process by which photography was disseminated within the media of the period when employed as an instrument reflecting governmental concerns in matters of national morale and the maintenance of social cohesion. Such official considerations have affected the contemporary use of photo­ graphs, which in retrospect have created discrepancies and anomalies in our appreciation of chronological sequences of events and military enterprises. Furthermore, such propaganda constraints have been instrumental in the creation of personas - and the myths that often surround them - both in terms of context and historical perspective. A methodology will be offered by which these tensions of control and censorship allied to the documentary tradition may be demystified, so that both the propaganda and record photograph can be assessed not only in their original contemporary context, but as sources of historical data and information. Chapter One - Early Developments Early perceptions concerning the role of photography were as confused as the divergent paths that led to the discovery of the medium itself. Two primary streams of development quickly asserted themselves, however, among the serious practioners of photography, and have subsequently formed the basis for expansion and diversification. These could be termed 'truth-telling' and 'beautification,1 - the first having a moral and literary pedigree, the latter originating from within the fine-art traditions and practice of the period. The first of these - aptly termed 'record photography' by Professor Margaret Harker2 - grew .from the early pre-occupation of photographers with topographical subjects. The Victorians were eager to see those aspects of life and culture which, prior to the evolution of photography, had merely been represented ambivalently through the written or spoken word, or in the representations of illustrators or artists. From this enthusiastic application of photography as a recording medium, there emerged the expedition and travel photographers, typified by Francis Frith.7 Encumbered by the bulk of the equipment then in use, Frith made three expeditions to Egypt and the Near East between 1856 and 1860, and photographed anything that interested him. His photographs were published in book-form, and being produced prior to the advent of the half-tone reprographic process, were virtually albums of photographic prints in a bound format. The general approach of such travel photographers was matched in the more specialised

  • Rethinking Documentary Photography
    RETHINKING DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY: DOCUMENTARY AND POLITICS IN TIMES OF RIOTS AND UPRISINGS —————————————————— A Thesis Presented to The Honors Tutorial College Ohio University —————————————————— In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation from the Honors Tutorial College with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Art History —————————————————— by Jack Opal May 2013 Introduction I would like to think about documentary photography. In particular, I would like to rethink the limits of documentary photography for the contemporary. Documentary, traditionally, concerns itself with the (re)presentation of factual information, constitutes a record.1 For decades, documentary – and especially social documentary – has been under siege; its ability to capture and convey and adequately represent “truth” thrown into question, victim to the aestheticization of the objects, fading trust in their authors, and technological development. So much so that the past three decades have prompted photographer, documentarian, and art historian Martha Rosler to question first its utility, then its role, and finally its future in society. All of this has opened up the possibility and perhaps the need to reconsider the conditions and purpose of documentary practice, and to consider the ways in which it has been impacted by recent technological and historical developments. The invention of the internet and the refinement of the (video) camera into ever more portable devices and finally into the smartphone, and the rise to ubiquity within society of these inventions, signifies a major shift in documentary. So, too, have certain events of the past two decades – namely, the beating of Rodney King (and the circulation of the video of that event) and the development and adoption of the occupation as a major tactic within the political left.

  • How Has Photojournalism Framed the War in Afghanistan?
    How has photojournalism framed the war in Afghanistan? David Campbell PUBLICATION In Burke and Norfolk: Photographs from the War in Afghanistan, John Burke and Simon Norfolk (Stockport: Dewi Lewis, 2011). Images are central to contemporary geopolitics. We encounter other people and places though a “field of perceptible reality” enabled by visual representations.1 Photographs, paintings, video, film, computer games – each and every pictorial artefact - helps establish what can be represented and how it can be shown. In turn, those images are made possible by a series of historical, cultural and political frames.2 The field of perceptible reality that is the decade-long war in Afghanistan has been enacted in large part through news imagery and photojournalism. We have seen a steady stream of familiar pictures made up of allied forces, Afghan civilians, Taliban casualties and American military families. Photojournalism on the front line has focused on the military struggles of international forces as they combat an ‘elusive’ opponent, with soldiers and their weaponry front and centre. There is also an inevitable regularity to the style of these images. As Associated Press photographer David Guttenfelder notes, the work of photojournalists in Afghanistan “sometimes looks very uniform.”3 “Embedded journalism” has been a frame commonly focused upon to explain the nature and limits of what we do and don’t see. That analysis sometimes proceeds on the assumption that there was once a time when photography’s contribution to the field of perceptible reality was free from government controls. As Judith Butler claims in her assessment of the ethics of photography: Recent war photography departs significantly from the conventions of war photojournalism that were at work thirty or forty years ago, where the photographer or camera person would attempt to enter the action through angles and modes of access that sought to expose the war in ways that no government had planned.
