Propaganda and Media through Photography

What I really liked was the idea of advertisements that don't really... advertise anything. They make you pause, think, and assess. An example of this is the ad for Oranges On Fire.

Photography in the media has a huge influence over the public. Recurring themes in different images encourage the public to look like her or dress like this. To me, it's almost like a sci-fi one hive mind type of thing, convincing people to act, look, and feel a certain way.
