Abstract
Christianity, as both a faith and cultural institution, holds a unique place of power, influence, and history in much of Western society. Appropriately, it has been the subject of documentary photographers. This research explores how photographers' relationships to Christianity impacts the documentary photography projects they have done on it, using framing and insider-outsider theories as key points of analysis. During the interviews, it was learned that none of the photographers who agreed to participate would be considered insiders, making it impossible to compare the framing and working method of insiders and outsiders. Instead, photographers were categorized along their status as outsiders versus those that don't fit into the "insider-outside" binary, the underlying themes present in their projects, and the kind of pictures they set out to make in the first place.
