 Not only what is seen but what is rendered invisible or shadowy demands additional examination, as with M.G. Davidson’s analysis of the way that photographs of black women subtly train the white male gaze and with Paul Taylor’s study of the complexities of the phrase “Black is beautiful” (Davidson 2016; Taylor 2016). Occluding persons from nondominant cultures and social groups in visual production can exert powerful political force (Ortega 2019b; Ortega, Pitts, and Medina 2019).
