I believe photography and film has made us aware of our surroundings and the world we live in even more. Photography has always made a very strong impact on journalism, because of its nature of capturing the moment in addition to people’s tendency to believe what they have seen. Film has made it even more convincing to believe in a certain documentation and therefore a stronger impact due to their difficulty in manipulation and because it gives us more context compared to a photograph. These mediums suggest a stronger story than plain written or spoken words, and have spread awareness of important issues such as poverty, racism, and discrimination. It has sparked activism among people and has impacted people to stand up for the right cause after viewing a strong and moving image. When travel documentation first became a trend, it also sparked the same type of motivation among some to respect other cultures in other parts of the world as well.
