How Photographs Have Changed History – From 1860 to the Potential of Deepfakes
Since its introduction in 1839, photography has revolutionized our perception of the world. Photographs not only capture events but also have the power to transform them, depicting reality while weaving a story. Numerous photographs have played a pivotal role in shaping America, and this discussion will delve into several of them. While some photos may be familiar, others might offer fresh perspectives. By exploring the histories of these images and acquiring the skills to interpret them, Lou will offer a profound insight into how photographs have molded and continue to influence American society and culture.
