IS photography a tool for change?

Photography has been a powerful force for change since its inception. With the changing

climate and its increasing effects on our lives, how can photographers use the power of

their medium to create the change needed for a brighter future? To answer this, we must

look further into the ways that photographers are doing this now, the issues they face, and

how they are overcoming these problems.

In the full document linked bellow we explore how the way in which we represent the issue is key to

photography’s effectiveness at talking this worldwide crisis. We also look at how the

environmental sector uses photography and how this growing market could be a fantastic

place to start important yet difficult conversations. Before looking into how combining

forces with others can allow us to make more meaningful action. It is now imperative that

we start to make the transition to a more sustainable society and photography can be a vital

tool for this transition.

Can photography do more than raise awareness about the climate crisis?
