Loving the Benetton ‘UNHATE’ poster campaign. Shame the Vatican got all hot and bothered by it as that was my favourite. Amazing how controversial a kiss can be…ask Bollywood directors!
I would love to see more social activism initiatives using techniques like this. The manipulation of images has great potential to create unseen or unlikely events, sparking debate (even if controversial). Unfortunately, many INGOs are still in the business of visual ‘authenticity’ and so don’t venture too far outside of the documentary photography safety net.
