Social

Social photography shows the social aspects of the world we live in. The accent is on the way people organise their world to live or to survive. Social photography often shows a world that we hardly understand. It shows a world where people survive on place we think they cannot. It shows a world that we'd like to change for better, but we realise we cannot. Social photography speaks direct to the heart because it appeals to our social responsibility and it shows our lack of power and social influence.  But is also shows the power of the people and their hope! As such social photography is like a mirror, showing us aspects of our deepest feelings we'd like to hide.
