Abstract
In my BA thesis I am exploring photographers that are working with politics, political photographers. They intetionally are photographing to comment or change certain political incidents. Photographers that I am briging up are such as Alfredo Jaar, Raphael Dallporta or Jean-Christian Bourcart. I explore their work with questions like, how they photograph, what political event and how do they work with the viewer. It is a broad subject, and I am trying to give the reader a first meeting with what politics and photography is.
