About This Project
You’re watching TV and your palms start to sweat. Minutes later, you’re gnashing your teeth and clenching your fists. This is what happens when you tune in to THE SHIFT or DALLAS DNA, two riveting shows from Investigation Discovery’s edge-of-your-seat lineup. In this insightful exhibit, photos as real as the stories they document showcase just a few of the heroic men and women from these two defining series. Following the work and lives of a highly effective team of homicide detectives within the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, THE SHIFT tracks cases from the initial radio call requesting officers at the scene to the ultimate satisfaction of clicking cuffs on a suspect. DALLAS DNA chronicles the legal drama and emotional ramifications behind a pioneering unit within the Dallas County District Attorney’s office. Here, post-conviction DNA testing is being used to exonerate the wrongfully convicted and confirm the guilty. With astounding results. Featured photographers Shaul Schwarz/Getty Images and David Johnson were art directed by Discovery Creative’s photo editor Laura Adams and creative director Dan Cavey. Embedded with the film crews for several long, tense days, Shaul Schwarz had exceptionally great access to capture “a day in the life” of the subjects.
