TED Talk
This TED Talk video made understand the importance of photography. Before I always viewed photography as only an art form, a way to express yourself. What I didn't know is that photography is not only a way of expressing yourself but its a way to send a message out to the world. A fashion photographer photographs fashion in a unique way that draws customers in. They want to send a message out as to why you should want to buy their products over another companies products. A teenage boy might post a shirtless pic online to send a message out that he's available for the taking and a teenage girl might do the same when she posts a picture of her all dressed up hoping a boy will text her because he thinks she's beautiful. Each photograph taken has a message behind it and its completely up to photographer about what its meaning is.
This TED Talk video showed just how easy it is to make a statement through photography. Elephants are being poached for their ivory tusks which is very illegal. Photographers take picture of the gruesome leftover elephants that were murdered only for their ivory tusks. Photographers sent a message out to the world that this horrific poaching needs to stop. Photographs make more of an effect on people because they get to see first hand what horrible things are being done to these gentle giants. You could in worlds describe whats happening to the animals but with photography it makes whats happened almost ten times worse.
The saying "an image is worth a thousand words" is pretty accurate. Your most likely to believe a photograph of something over someones words. You can always trust an image to show the truth. Especially now in this world. People won't take your word for something unless there is picture proof because how can we be sure it happened if it wasn't photographed. If you can't trust your friends, if you can't trust the news, and if you can't trust the president then who do you trust? A photograph.
