About Fotomission
Photography is a powerful language; it is the language of light. With it we strive to understand and shed light on the complexities of human activity, its dependence on its causes and in connection with its effects, not merely in relation to how it affects us as individuals, but our world as a whole.
No other form of communication or expression has done as much to transform our sense of self, our daily lives and our society as the photograph. Photography is probably the most influential medium of the modern era.
Fotomission is a volunteer operated 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to teaching and promoting photography, as well as producing artistic and documentary exhibitions, publications and online presentations of significant and socially conscious photographic endeavors.
Our mission is to utilize artistic and documentary photography as a means for creating positive social change.
