I may be wrong but most photographers do want to help it's just they aren't allowed to for various reasons

The man who took that photo un-Alived himself because of that photo. These photos affect the artist just as much as the viewer…

it’s literally so important… also people are so quick to assume. it’s like when you watch the animal documentaries… the photographers literally watch

YES! I have to write a paper on the premise that photojournalists are problematic. In reality none of us would even understand without visualization

2021-11-19

the main reason these photographers take those photos is TO HELP and inform

kevin actually wasn’t allowed to do anything
