The idea behind the 'Photographic Power' project is to create simple documentation of works that appreciate and understand the power of photographic images in public.
Among the existing types of art media, photography is the most flexible, tangible and monumental to the public and especially to personal interests. This can be seen by viewing the contents of someone's wallet.
In addition to documenting the strength of the photography contained in someone's back pocket, the 'Photographic Power' series was also intended to extend friendship with the people photographed as much as possible. Click through the gallery to see images from this powerful project.
