Photography is a new means of expression in society. In a hundred years it has evolved to a state of being a primary visual force in our lives. ‘The present standard of visual expression in any field, painting, sculpture, architecture and especially the advertising arts, is nourishing by the visual food which the new photography provides.’ In the past it was the painter who brought the behaviour and expression of peoples to the surface of consciousness, today it is the photographer.
