The camera as an empowerment tool

Imagen
My favorite piece of technology is my camera. I liked because I can capture moments in a second, I can capture the past and see it again as many times as I want, I can also make visible situations that I consider important, in that sense it can serve as a tool empowerment of minorities and people who suffer violence to give them dignity through the resignification and photographic reconstruction of all those groups. Besides, the camera, when capturing moments and leaving them retained in time, allows them not to be forgotten. But the camera isn’t who takes the pictures or who filming the scene. It’s the photographer who does it, that is why it’s important to have a point of view that allows this empowerment and fight against violence. So it’s important to know that this piece of technology it’s a double-edged sword.
