CAN THE PHOTO BE USED AS A THERAPY FORM?
Photography is not only a form of art; it is also a means of expression and a way of conveying thoughts and feelings. One photograph can tell hundreds of different stories. This is one of the reasons why some people perceive photography as a hobby, and others as a form of therapy.
