“Dealing With the Flood”

The three approaches to dealing with the flood:

Embracing the flood: making the flood the subject

Appropriation: Selecting from the flood rather then taking photos yourself

Story Telling: Photos that tell stories “People are hungry for the story”

I use photography on my social media, either to capture fun moments with my friends and pretty photos of myself, or to take photos of my work because if my work field social media is very important and very good to have to use as a sort of portfolio for your clients.

I believe social media can to an extent devalue photography, because so many people nowadays can claim to be photographers just because they are able to take photos using their cellphones.

However, at the same time it has brought more value and has made photography more widespread, because more people can now admire a professional photographers work and they can find more jobs that way.

I typically embrace the flood.
