Manufactured Consent

Influences come from a variety of sources but most common are religious beliefs, family and friends and, most importantly, personal experience. However an ever increasing exposure to mass produced media through radio, television, the Internet and daily newspapers has to be considered one of the main places that a twenty first century being receives most of their information. The global institute of the media is a slick machine with the ability to seduce its audience to make their "journalism" your truth. The more I investigated the culture of mass media, the more apparent it became that the media's elite set a framework within which others work. Newspapers and news channels are produced in the image of their institute's agenda. Through my photography I like to tackle or view issues that I believe to be generally out of sight, out of mind, however this issue isn't out of sight as we are attacked on a daily basis by opinion and selected news which can't be ignored.
