Certainly the major parties in both the UK and the USA take great care in
image management.. in every sense.

Quite, or maybe they really don't care. The major parties have every
intention of being seen to be squeaky clean even though they are
anything but. The BNP have a wish to appeal to their core voters, but
yes, they could obviously do with some lessons in lighting. There may
well be better images of their meetings, but most shots seem to be of
them outside courtrooms lately :O)

Now that imaging has gone digital, they always have trouble
with the contrast control. They want to set the white point so
it covers their spokesmen entirely, and they refuse to set
a black point at all.
