As a non-fiction photographer, I strive to understand what I\u2019m documenting and present the images, words and context that help clarify and deepen my images with as much veracity as possible. Even prior to the proliferation of AI, facts and truth have been called into question, mainly by authoritarian and non-democratic forces. Now with AI, it\u2019s imperative that we strive to maintain our accuracy and push back on the forces that manipulate truth and sow fear into the masses only for political power and influence. We can do this by committing to the Write with Light set of principles, which provides a solid framework to begin to address these concerns. By committing to and promoting the essential role of nonfiction photography, we can continue to play an evidence-based role in our national discourse and fundamentally maintain a healthy democracy.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"eut-empty-space eut-height-1x\" style=\"\"><\/div>[vc_column_text text_style=&#8221;small-text&#8221;]<strong>Ed Kashi<\/strong><br \/>\nPhotojournalist and Documentary Photographer<br \/>\nMember of VII Photo[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"eut-empty-space eut-height-2x\" style=\"\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row padding_top_multiplier=&#8221;custom&#8221; columns_gap=&#8221;40&#8243; equal_column_height=&#8221;equal&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;5%&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;5\/6&#8243;][vc_column_text text_style=&#8221;leader-text&#8221;]Photojournalist and Documentary Photographer Member of VII Photo[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/12&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]Since its creation, photography has been valued as a source of visual fact.
