In this article, Alex Cooke, starts by stating the photography is “dominated by white males” (Cooke, 2017). He believes that photography is a form of art, and as such own personal experiences come together and influence someones art. But when the majority of images we see are by white men, this has a knock on influence with the rest of society. There is a disproportionate misrepresentation in our society and culture. Society has become self-sustaining by maintaining and renewing these beliefs. Cooke found that people who disagreed with the inequality or even doubted it’s existed where men, who where not affected by the issues.
