Mimi Mollaca hosts a discussion at the Royal Photographic Society with Lorenzo Vitturi, Aron Mörel, Dr Lucy Soutter, Marisa Bellani, Tim Clark. In a world flooded with images we need photographers more than ever not just as image-makers, but as intelligent interpreters of the world. This talk explores some of the strategies contemporary photographers are exploring to challenge traditional modes of photography.
