The power of the photograph in terms of manipulation and agenda setting

Öz

The adventure of the photograph has a long story. This adventure leads to many debates, such as whether or not photography is an art, or what should a photographer do when he/she stands against an ethical situation or if the photograph is genuine or is it all a fiction.  The acceleration of photography is highly impressive and scientifically evident.  Photography has become practical, most popular and pretty cheap with the developing DSL cameras, computer apps such as photoshop, smart phones and its apps such as instagram which uses effective photo-filters. Since it is cheap and practical, reaching photography equipment has become easier than ever and results in a growing number of population interested in photography. Thanks to the latest trend social networks, now people can easily share their photographs with others. It is true that this development has helped the art of photography. Nonetheless, there are two sides to every coin. On one hand, the popularity of photography obviously seems advantageous. Yet, on the other hand the photograph begins at the very moment the Photographer makes a decision on where to stand behind the camera and how she/he chooses to place his/her objective. How will it be cropped, where will it be published, and what will be written below it, the answers to all these questions affect public opinions directly, and not everyone is capable of making such decisions. Photography has an universal language, which makes it more effective than verbal or written products. This makes it a popular agenda which sets the status quo. With only a handful of manipulated photographs, you can change the opinions of a whole society. You can start or end wars just by changing the direction of your objective according to your own intentions. This explains the power of photography why it is a popular propaganda organ.
