Sebastian on Photographing the Beginning of the Civil Rights Movement

In my opinion, Frank’s “art” photography, and Counts’ news photography are both very effective types of photography to show the injustice in American society. Frank didn’t like getting near the people he photographed, and also he didn’t want them to notice that he was taking the picture. However, Counts didn’t seem to care much about that. He made his way in, and took the photograph in the middle of the protest against segregation, allowing him to capture an amazing shot. I believe that Counts’ photography impacted people more. His photograph seems to show and provoke more emotions. For example, in his famous photograph of Elizabeth and Hazel, he was able to obtain a picture showing feelings from both women. However, I still believe that both techniques are great ways to express the lack of fairness in America.
