I've found this short chapter of Roland Barthe's book very relevant to the brief I have set myself. The chapter focuses on the photographic and commercial image of a political candidate, dissecting this image.
"Some candidates for Parliament adorn their electoral prospectus with a portrait. This presupposes that photography has a power to convert which must be analysed."
In my project I will be working outside the medium of photography, as I don't class this as a medium I particular am immersed and entirely enthusiastic about.
