Essay on Communication Using Photographs and Videos in the Modern Society

The twelve exhibitions show the possibility that people can communicate using photographs and videos in the modern society. In class, the instructors emphasize how the use of smartphones and cameras are shaping the communication in the modern society. In the exhibition, different artists share photographs for purposes of communication. From a personal point of view, the different artist in the communication attempted to depict similar themes in their conversations. Observing the different photographs in the exhibition, most of the photographers depict the daily activities of every artist. Using photographs to communicate can be explicit and sharing of such information need to observe the principles of privacy. Photographs communicate different information to different people. For example, in this exhibition, one can confirm that violation of privacy is high when there is an intensive use of photographs.

Some shared funny photographs of kids, friends, food, walls of building and beddings. The diverse themes in the photographs depict unique thinking of the artists. It is also clear that photographs give a different meaning to different photographers.

It is possible for a partnering artist to ask the name, the age, and owner of the baby.

However, the exhibitions can be a good way of communicating because it attracts the attention of the reader and triggers a great interest to know more about the partner and personal experiences.
