Communicating the Environment Beyond Photography Summary

Communicating the Environment Beyond Photography by Michelle I. Seelig

Communicating the Environment Beyond Photography is a modern look at how photographers visualize what is happening to people and places on a changing planet. Michelle I. Seelig draws attention to what compels photographers to focus on these important 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. Photographers continue to document the land and nature as they always have; however, today they use all media to advocate wide-ranging environmental concerns. Photographers, filmmakers, and environmentalists engage the public with visual and technologically driven content that is both affordable and portable, allowing advocacy to transcend boundaries in the global community previously overlooked by traditional media. This innovative book showcases strategies practiced by photographers, environmentalists, and advocacy groups in the twenty-first century and will serve as inspiration for future advocates of environmental issues and other important and just causes. Accessible and user-friendly, Communicating the Environment Beyond Photography is a must-read for both future photographers and individuals interested in communicating and advocating for environmental and social change.

Communicating the Environment Beyond Photography Reviews

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)
