EVERYBODY STREET DOCUMENTARY REFLECTION
Watching this documentary was eyeopening. It showed me a new way to look at photography, and it increased my admiration for street photographers. I found it very exciting to be able to see the documentary of how photographers approach their work, and how much photography does matter. The power photography has, could change and has changed the world. Thanks to photographers being out on the street and capturing the lifestyle of different people, and subcultures, some activists movements have gained more power, injustices are seen, victims can feel heard, and overall we are able to capture the essence of a community for everyone to treasure. 

What made me feel the most inspired from this film is when one of the photographers said that photography is the chance to make time stop. I think that's what has always maybe me feel interested in photography. I can capture essence and truth with a camera. Additionally to the fact that, I could also capture more posed pictures, as if I were creating my own world, or trying to create the world that someone wants to live in. It's storytelling.
