Photographic Storytelling Video (DVD)

Through the years, photography has held a unique position in the world of art. Talented artists have the ability to manipulate the many features of a photograph, like its context, the perspective from which it was taken, the light, coloring, and more, to create an image that conveys a desired message. A variety of experts in the field of photography and social sciences, including Doug Nickel of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and Shanto Iyengar of Stanford University discuss the motivation and skill behind photographic works. They explain the techniques employed to convey the targeted meaning or story, including the newest artistic liberties afforded by today's digital photography, and the ethical deliberation that surrounds the intentional manipulation of an image.
