The camera is...
read morePhotography and the Feelings of Others: From Mirroring Emotions to the Theory of Mind
Photography is powerful because we can place ourselves into the perspective of those we see in an image. Whether it’s street photography, photojournalism or portraiture, we use photography to understand ourselves in relation to people around us. Think of Henri Cartier-Bresson’s Behind the Gare Saint-Lazare, Nick Ut’s Napalm Girl or Richard Avedon’s portrait of Marilyn Monroe. These iconic images capture intent, desire, suffering, pain, ambivalence, and invoke our ability to identify with those in the frame. Napalm Girl by Nick...

But with the introduction of iOS 8 and its included Camera APIs, Dacuda...
