The power of portraits
Jolly Jacob |
TEDxCanberra
• September 2018
Canberra photographer Jolly Jacob believes that portraits are much more than images on a wall. Reflecting on her own personal experiences, Jolly shares her ideas about how portraits can help shape our sense of identity and relationships, and support our sense of belonging and feelings of community. Yet many people shy away from the camera, and don't like to have their photograph taken. In this talk, Jolly challenges us to shake off this reluctance, and embrace the positive place that portraits can have in our lives.
