The role of photography in political communication based on the example of a ‘double portrait’ of Lech and Maria Kaczyński
Abstract
The catastrophe in Smoleñsk has significantly affected the image of Lech
Kaczyński presented in the media, which has quite clearly translated into social
opinions. Words of praise for his presidency and remarks that he had been underesti-
mated became increasingly frequent. The picture of Mr and Mrs Kaczyñski therefore
became a tool for generating a new image of the President, facilitating a kind of
posthumous ‘rebranding’. This image breakthrough provided the Law and Justice
(PiS) party with the ‘added value’ of the sympathy of most of the media and the social trust Maria Kaczyñska enjoyed before and after April 10, 2010, in contrast to her husband. The ‘double portrait,’ multiplied by the press at the time of national mourning, later became an expression of an affirmative approach extended to a defined political circle. It is not surprising then that PiS, which has emphasized the value of ‘Lech Kaczyński’s testament’ and assumed the role of the depositary of his
policy, has utilized the photography of the presidential couple (and their biographies) on many occasions.
