Earlier this year, Adobe partnered with a group of photographers to solicit a series of photos from the global photography community. An analysis shows what Adobe calls “unmistakable commonalities” in the moments that make up everyday lives, regardless of location.
The project, called Life Reflected, was put together to combat the sense that news and media were pushing the idea that there is more differences between people than commonalities. Adobe launched a photo collaboration with
New York Times photographer Andre D. Wagner along with Valheria Rocha, Laylah Amatullah Barrayn, and James Anthony in the hope that the submissions would prove otherwise. It asked photographers to submit photos based on a series of one-word themes (such as love, childhood, culture, and joy). Adobe then analyzed each for similarities.
