Do I think one photo can affect change?

I do think one photo can affect change. I think it is possible. But I think that in this day and age it can affect change at a much smaller rate than it used to. With the rise of media so prevalent in society, we are constantly processing images and quickly discarding them from our thoughts. We see so many images daily that they start to affect us less and less.

Although this is an ad, I think the photo alone is very powerful. I think that this photo could have the power to affect change because even without the writing on it, it is very moving having the thumbs up around and seeing visually what is happening in these places and the exact way we react to it, by giving it a "like". I think that this image is powerful enough to affect change because it so clearly highlights a problem so relevant to our society.

Light Metering

I think that this image was metered to the left of the woman, because it has a nice neutral balance of light. To the right of her, I think it would have overexposed the woman. As well as if it was metered on the woman, she would be underexposed and if it was metered on the sun, she would be overexposed. We know that this image was not metered on the woman or else she would be black.If it were a front lit image, you would meter on the woman and there would be no glow around her head and no rays coming out of the sun.
