Photographers in relation to Tourism

“Photographers use their cameras as tools of exploration, passports to inner sanctums, instruments for change. Their images are proof that photography

matters—now more than ever.”

‘The very best of their images remind us that a photograph has the power to do infinitely more than

document. It can transport us to unseen worlds.’

– National Geographic, Robert Draper

Communication through Photographs

“I believe photography can make a real connection to people and is employed as a positive agent in

understanding the challenges and opportunities facing our world today.” - David Griffin

“From the moment the tourist enters the site, everyone has to be photographed in front of every feature of note.... The photographic record of the visit has almost destroyed the very notion of actually looking.” – Martin Parr

Human Curiosity,‘Representations in the form of

photographs have become fundamental to the very reality of

tourism.’ - William Cannon Hunter
