A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Hello, I am a 23-year-old self-taught photographer, I seek through street photography, and photojournalism to show the world the cruelty of Argentine life, subjected to a dictatorship disguised as "good people". I want my photographs to reach people from other countries so that they can see that Argentina is not the World Cup, it is hunger, anger, ignorance, corruption, insecurity and death. I'm not a great photographer yet, but from my place I'd like you to give me advice and opinions for this project which I've been working on for months, in order to leave a record of the irregularities of this horrible government, which censors and even imprisons artists, journalists and opposition influencers. Sadly, they may be re-elected through electoral fraud. I apologize for my poor English. I also apologize for this post, I don't know if it will be the right place for this, honestly, I didn't know it was like that.

There are ways in which you can safely convey the message by using subtlety. Take a look at the photographs taken in easter europe during the communist dictatorships and you’ll get plenty of examples. More recent examples are photographs from Russia like the ones from Emil Gataullin
