Social Media Impacting Photography And Visual Culture
As many would argue, for photography to have a lasting impact on society, it must be part of wider cultural landscape. In order to do so, it must also play a role in transforming societies, as well as being consumed by others. This is why seeing powerful visual culture not only matters today but matters in every generation. It can empower or inspire and promote progress, while at the same time causing anxiety in those who do not know of its existence.
Photographs Can Shift Perspective On Climate Change
The power of images is often overlooked when discussing climate change because they often seem too raw and out there. However, photographs can help to educate young minds about what happens when man-made pollution plagues the planet. By displaying images that speak directly to viewers on screen we as photographers can foster conversations around real issues from our perspective. While taking photos is one way to see all these different issues come across for a broader audience, it’s important that you remember that your photos are just part of the story. They are not always telling you everything about things. In reality, it never does.
Photographers Have A Voice To Share Their Stories
The image above shows two women fighting over food and water when a hurricane passes overhead. These ladies represent different groups of people – either those involved in agriculture, animal husbandry, fishery, etc. – who cannot survive without these basic human necessities. If you've seen the photo, and were able to identify any other relevant imagery, then you've probably been thinking of someone who can relate to some kind of situation that inspired the shot taken. More importantly, you've likely had an idea to create a shot. So, yes, photographers have a voice right now.
Photographs Are An Essential Part Of History For Generations
Photography has become a form of history: capturing moments of humanity’s most significant events, providing historical archives, giving us insight into ancient civilizations of cultures that have passed. From wars to political unrest to natural disasters like famine - photographers are documenting their subjects' lives and experiences, bringing art back to life through photos. When looking at the photo above you don't necessarily need to read anything beyond "history", however, if you know somebody who cares, then perhaps there would be something else you could offer instead.
Today, there are countless applications and websites offering educational opportunities for students interested in pursuing a career in photography. Whether or not you choose to pursue a course on Photoshop, it might be well worth doing a quick trip back to revisit any courses you may have missed this year. As photographers themselves, we can surely say that these days, photography is an essential part of history that will remain relevant for generations to come.
