propaganda photos
Manipulative political pictures
Propaganda photos are images created or selected to promote a particular political viewpoint, often through emotional manipulation rather than factual persuasion.
The term implies deliberate framing, staging, or selective presentation to advance an agenda: The regime's propaganda photos showed smiling workers in spotless factories.
Unlike documentary photography, propaganda photos prioritize message over accuracy.
