Photomontage: On Photography Reflection

Susan Sontag offers a unique way of how photography acts as a way of capturing experiences and ultimately help to collect insight into various cultures around the world. In addition to that, Sontag makes claims about how no matter what type of photographs your taking whether they are meant to capture an ideal or the sheer beauty of something, "there is an aggression implicit in every use of the camera" meaning that the camera will not hold anything back in terms of what the viewer may or may not want to see. Sontag manages to bring up interesting topics concerning the use of photography rather than the form of it. I think it's fascinating to note how photography has become so vital in the preservation of experience as well as how photography itself has transitioned from being used solely by the wealthy and professionals to how everyone today can be considered an amateur photographer if they have a smartphone.
