A way that media has brought on positive change for the improvement of society and our lives is through the use of media like photography or video from journalists to depict the harsh state of life. A very well known case of journalism using media is during the industrial era from the UK or America, photographers would take pictures of the inhume working conditions that occur in the factories. These factories were ran by wealthy capitalists that only care for their profit margins and cut many corners of safety precautions that disregarded the workers along with very meager wages. Also, photography has been used to depict the unsafe working conditions that children were put in to save more money and risk many dangers like bodily harm or death. This early of journalism helped the public to notice more of these issues, which gave rise to worker’s right and laws in place to protect worker’s life or wages including child workers.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
In this final project, I want to examine the interactions of the people on campus with their greater environment. I want to see how students interact with buildings and other campus structures and how they go along with their lives. The themes and subjects of this final project are to show how the students live their live daily.
Some of the background information for this project is that I see a lot of students around campus every day who walk across the campus. Students do not seem to fully appreciate the true beauty
I was inspired by the work and theme of different photographers such as Michael Wolf, Taryn Simon, and Brian Ulrich. I really how they incorporate their environments and the style of spacing in within the works of these photographers.
OUTCOMES
- I will produce several dozen digital photographs of around campus
- I will decide on seven photographs for the final presentation that best fit the themes of my project
