Paying attention to the interpretation of photographs as evidence, I argue that within the post–Liberation French courtroom, photographic evidence became crucial to narrating collaboration and resistance as a means of gaining re-acceptance into the profession and escaping legal charges. However, photographs proved too complicated to clearly prove either collaboration. Photographers disputed the charges against them by offering new interpretations of their photographs.
