Finnegan[electronic resource]Urbana :University of Illinois Press,2021.1 online resource (1 online resource)Illinois scholarship onlineAlso issued in print: 2021.0-252-05269-2 Includes bibliographical references and index.Throughout history, presidents have actively participated in all aspects of photography, not only by sitting for photos but by taking and consuming them. Cara A. Finnegan ventures from a newly-discovered daguerreotype of John Quincy Adams to Barack Obama's selfies to tell the stories of how presidents have participated in the medium's transformative moments. As she shows, technological developments not only changed photography, but introduced new visual values that influence how we judge an image. At the same time, presidential photographs - as representations of leaders who symbolised the nation - sparked public debate on these values and their implications. An original journey through political history, 'Photographic Presidents' reveals the intertwined evolution of an American institution and a medium that continues to define it.Illinois scholarship online.PresidentsUnited StatesPortraitsPortrait photographyUnited StatesHistoryPortraits, AmericanPresidentsPortrait photographyHistory.Portraits, American.973.099Finnegan Cara A.1119119StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910558199703321Photographic presidents2826627UNINA
