The British Journal of Photography. Volume 160 Issue N.O 7816 'Nothing to See'

The 'Nothing to See' article caught my eye as it debates about a photographers right to control their own image and the right to inform.

Photographer Yan Morvan documented real life situations and followed gangs in France's suburbs for over 40 years. I find it interesting when artists are able to inform and educate their audiences on subjects and issues through the medium of art.
In the image on the right, it shows an arm of man with writing on which seems to be showing what he believes in. However you are unable to see his face which could suggest he is representing the gangs in France and not just his own views.
