Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Photography plays a crucial role in political campaigns by visually shaping candidates' public images, communicating campaign messages, and engaging voters. In Minna South Local Government Area, Niger State, political photography is a key element of campaign strategies, capturing moments that resonate with voters and humanize candidates. According to Musa and Bello (2024), photographs can evoke emotional responses, create a sense of connection, and influence public perception of political candidates. However, the effectiveness of photography in political campaigns is often limited by factors such as media bias, lack of skilled photographers, and inadequate use of digital platforms. This study examines the role of photography in political campaigns in Minna South, focusing on its contributions, challenges, and implications for voter engagement.

These issues prevent photography from fully achieving its potential as a tool for voter engagement and campaign communication.
