HOW PHOTOGRAPHY IS LINKED TO ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
HOW YOU CAN PROMOTE PROBLMES USING POTOGRAPHY
Photographers use many techniques used to promote global issues with photography. One of the ways to promote global issues is through mass media. Mass media is social media where people can upload their stories and their stuff. Photographers take pictures of a specific environmental issue and then upload them into mass media. Another way to raise awareness using photography is photo blogging. Photo blogging is when you take pictures and upload them to a blog. By blogging, global issues can become even more widespread around the internet, thus leading to more people being aware. These blogs can also be connected to an even bigger website making them more accessible and easy to find. Yet another way to raise awareness is photojournalism. Photojournalism is when a photojournalist uses photographs to tell a story, raise awareness, etc. An assistant to all these tactics can be setting up competitions. Setting up a photography competition about global issues can help find photographers who are up to raising awareness of global issues. The participants would upload their photos into the competition, and at the end, they all get judged by the host. This helps attract photographers to promote global issues since the rewards are money. You can take the photos uploaded into the competition and use them to raise awareness. As more people in the global community see these photos, our society can advance tremendously while people take action, increasing our stability and capability to fix these issues.
