Frames of Humanity - Seeing Truth in an Age of Illusion PDF

Every image is a choice. Every frame shapes a truth.

In an age saturated with photographs, screens, and narratives designed to influence belief, Frames of Humanity asks a deceptively simple question: What does it mean to see clearly?

Drawing on photography, architecture, history, conservation, and lived experience, Micheal MacEoghain explores how images shape power—and how power shapes what we learn to call real. From the quiet violence of omission to the seduction of spectacle, from documentary’s pursuit of coherence to the fantasies we mistake for truth, this book reveals the unseen structures that guide perception in our everyday lives.

At once intimate and expansive, Frames of Humanity is a call to attention: a reminder that seeing is not passive but ethical, not observational but participatory. To see clearly is not to master the world, but to meet it—with humility, responsibility, and care.

A book for artists, thinkers, conservationists, photographers, and anyone searching for clarity in an age of illusion.
