Sumario:Documentary photography aims to capture the material reality of life. In Rhetorical Exposures, Christopher Carter demonstrates how the creation and display of documentary photographs- often now called " imagetexts"--Both invite analysis and raise persistent questions about the political and social causes for the bleak scenes of poverty and distress captured on film.
