Dystopia & Memories

Today, however, it is no longer sufficient to simply share an image in the hope of eliciting a reaction from the audience at large. A photographer needs to ensure that an image benefits a group of people or even a single individual. The benefit may be in terms of knowledge, an introduction to a new idea, or a new awakening to something that did not exist before.
