Because of this, the images we consume are not an accurate depiction of reality. Marketing images in pop culture—like TV shows, movies, music groups, clothing, and even cartoons—tend to include primarily white people as the focus. The problem with non-inclusive imagery.

It eliminates the boundary of realism, which is an inherent part of photography. . The art direction requires a specific look and feel. The look and feel of a project drives the art direction.
