MECOH BAIN - EXPOSURE EMERGING PHOTOGRAPHERS SHOWCASE

Not Another Headline, The Human Toll, is a photo series created by Mecoh Bain that challenges people to think critically about their relationship with the media they're consuming: the articles, language, subjects, and images. Furthermore, Mecoh confronts the influence media has on our identities and the emotional trauma and "baggage" it leaves behind, impacting our connection to yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Shift the paradigm and do not let black lives matter be another headline photo.
