A picture is worth a thousand words

[Deeq A.]

Somalis are very creative people and many are displaying their talent across various media and cultural platforms and sectors. One of the most popular forms of self-expression and communication is photography. This is not surprising because with the rising use of smart mobile phones and advanced digital cameras, taking photos for leisure or as a professional, is much easier. The high usage of social media like Twitter, Facebook, TikTok and Instagram to share personal stories, information and business venture in Somalia is also contributing to the boom in the revival of photography for pleasure and as an art from. This is good news because photography is among the best forms of visual narrative which is accessible, fun, and inspires new ideas and stimulates conversations. And these are desperately needed in Somalia right now.
