"At its best... photography can let us know the work that we need to do." Thank you for sharing your beautiful perspective, Misan and thank you for hosting this talk to all those at TED.
Images convey the beauty of how things are and what they're genuinely meant for in this world. Some take these photographs for granted, but they're essentially pieces of artifacts we must yearn to preserve for a long period of time.
Misan Harriman is a true definition of an artist. He isn't just an excellent photographer but an extraordinary storyteller. How he made the connection between the image of Mrs King, taken by the first black man to win Pulitzer for photography, and that of King III tweeting his work, and finally how he became the first black man to shoot the British Vague is just massively extraordinary! ❤
Harriman’s talk is a reminder that images have the power to move us, to inspire us, and to change the world. The photographer’s role is not just to capture what is in front of the lens, but to use their unique perspective and vision to create something that speaks to the viewer on a deeper level. Harriman’s work is a beautiful example of this, and his TED Talk is well worth watching for anyone interested in the power of images and the creative mind behind them.
Thank you so much Misan. It has indeed open our eyes to let us know the work we need to do. Thank you so much for always sharing your love story with your wife. Hmmmm the gift of the internet. Special shout out to your daughter. Glad that the world discovered you. The first black man to shoot any cover for British vogue. Dear Misan more Grace. As much as the racists may come, they won’t ever see you. Your lenses are always where voices ought to be lifted. God bless you
Profound and deep ! thank you and indeed.. anyone talking to a ceo or someone that can influence a big company that is plundering Africa ( or any country) for their own riches without giving anything back, should indeed show them the images. And i do agree with you on a lot yet.. people maybe going true troubling /life lesson things but... life it self and earth are still beautiful
Ending racism is one thing but stereotyping one race as racist due to past crimes then labelling them RACIST & GUILTY by default is also RACIST. When will people ever learn that COLOUR is just skin deep ?
THIS^ And the fallacy that racism is a one way street or that people of one race are inherently racist or that people of another race cannot be racist are some major things stopping progression on the racism issue. A one way street it is certainly not.
@@NoExitLoveNow recognizing racism is good. It's selective recognizing of it that is not. Aka only recognizing the racism that fits one's narrative or agenda.
Labelling a "British" retailer racist 😁 because he displayed "characters" working on tobacco plantation. You should be ashamed " I would certainly not have removed it.
What really gets me is if you do a little research on this guy, his father was a mixed race Nigerian chief and very important and well off in Nigeria and it seems many of his ancestors would have been of the Niger Delta royalty/nobility, who would have kept slaves in the past, (till the British made it illegal) and known all about the trade of selling their fellow Africans on the slave coast.......
Why, is it we never hear about 'Racism in Africa ' for example ? Oh, that's right, probably not a money spinner! But being a "race hustler" ( term defined by esteemed Professor Thomas Sowell) can really bring in the coin ! "Ethnic pygmy populations in Central Africa suffer from racialized discrimination from Bantu peoples. Pygmies and Bantus differ physically and genetically due to long lasting evolutionary segregation until the Bantu expansion brought them back into close contact. Pygmies have been targeted for slavery by Bantu populations continuing into the modern age. They are frequently ostracized from participation into the wider society in the various African countries that they live in and are seen as untouchables. Racially-motivated attacks occur on Pygmies including rape and cannibalization." Just one of many African countries that practise"racism " in the present day!
Why couln't he help the children where he lives instead of buying plane tickets? He thinks there is an environmental crisis so he buys a plane ticket. Seems like he just wants the image of being a caring person.
You have to get to an elevated platform to spread a message more effectively. Instead of the ideals being limited to your community you send them to your home and many others. There is nothing wrong with that and if you think there is, please explain.
I’ll answer it, “Because racism originates from survival and prejudices/stereotypes help us detect patterns around us increasing our probability of survival. Noticing skin color and forming judgements is a natural tendency of the human psyche.” That is why ending racism is a debate.
You missed a great occasion to stay quiet. Prejudice which is by definition a preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience, helps you survive? Where is the evidence?
@@joannot6706 there is plenty evidence that institutions classify as scientific racism. For example, Asians have the highest IQs out of all the races on average, Mexicans are hard working manual laborers, whites are the most innovative in tech, Black are the most athletic/fastest, and they have the lowest IQs and literacy rates out of all the races. There are genetic differences in the different races of human beings. Equality does not exist in nature

I went to the same school as Misan. He is a very nice person and a good friend to many people.
And the award goes to MISAN for the best MANIPULATOR of them all!!
Open your eyes people! See the lies through Him, with Him and in Him.
This a good reminder that we all have the potential to make the world better in our own unique ways.

Yes, the power of images, it's called propaganda, photos can be used to tell the truth ...or tell a lie just as easily.
thank you
great storyteller and an amazing photographer.
This resonates and speaks loudly to my soul.

Do not be afraid to take the road less traveled.
Wear your vulnerability with pride.
It is what makes us human.
🙌 so interesting and such an awesome guy
A very talented man!!!

Watch it there. Might get labeled as an alt-right racist for thinking that.
Outside of M.J., no one chose the skin color they are.
What??????
Recognizing racism doesn't bother me. Perhaps there is some reason you are defensive.

Go Misan!!🎉🎉❤
👏 👏 👏
Ha! Meghan's pet photographer who was triggered by a photograph in Cobham.
Of course you make it about Saint Fentanyl. Dude was a robber who died of a drug overdose and so many Black people praise him for it, I don't get it.
❤
Yes! Absolutely! An image talks highest than thousands words … and our mind needs images to co-create a better future

WHY UKRAINIAN BORDERS -DISCUSSION!?
Ummmm...🧐🤔
Romancia in the Works.
Whoever liked this, who are you? I think we'll be friends.

You have missed the point so monumentally that it's actually impressive how a person can be so dense. Bravo.
Total clown
Thoi dai moi da den
I’m tired of these black “victims”.
Then don't watch. Go away.
First
Nope.
Now I'm first.
