“We should strive to focus our lens on what connects us as humans as opposed to our differences.

“When you raise the camera to your eye you become responsible for contextualizing the history of the person you are photographing. It is critical that photographers take that responsibility as seriously as they do the photograph itself. Stories need to be approached with intellectual curiosity rather than a mere visual curiosity. It is also critical they consider the people they are photographing as collaborators, not “subjects.” PhotographyEthicsPhotographerPhotojournalismNeetasatam Author:Neeta Satam
