Youth Photo Campaign - Power of Image

For Safer Internet Day 2017 young people across the UK created photos to explore the power and influence of images in their lives.

From the pressure to take the perfect selfie, to the ways that images can be misleading or ambiguous, our six photography briefs challenged young people to consider the impact of images on their lives, while also celebrating the positive power of image to help inspire a better internet.
