Politically biased lighting?
 

British National Party leader Nick Griffin, as portrayed in the London
Times April 17, 2006, two weeks before the local elections, the
lighting equivalent of shining a torch under the chin.

Pity it wasn't harsh enough to show his true colours

Composition is big -- framing as well as lighting -- in order to convey
ideas about a person. Per the re-braodcast on PBS yesterday, when
Billy Graham first went to London the press was extremely hostile,
making a big show of bags of cash from the offerings -- even though
there were no facts to support the visual libel of him being any sort
of huckster.

If you want to portray someone as condescending, just photograph them
from a low vantage point and get the person to look down. The visual
impression does the job, whether true or false.

There are other things which can be done to convey images. It's a good
way to sharpen one's skills -- take a character trait and put it into a
picture.

Why? Is the UK press really so clueless?

Graham used to be seen a lot here in the U.S. press, until he started
speaking against Reagan's arms buildup during the 1980's. For that
he was essentially banished from major press coverage. I have a lot
of respect for the man even though I don't share many of his religious
beliefs.

Kind of odd when professional photogs, composers, etc,
can't fix small problems....

From CNN.com a few weeks back.

That's odd. You can't even see Bush's halo on either shot.

It's a bit like the Enoch Powell cover of Private Eye. "And I tell you
some of them have them this long!"

Probably had to lend it to Rumsfeld for a bit :-)
