ABSTRACT

Having carried out the findings for this work,data gathered and analysis are sufficient to draw a conclusion. The objective of this research is mainly to analyze the perception of the photographers and their photographs of the End Sars protests. The data collected articulately show the significant responses from photographers about their perceptions of the events. In chapter four,presentation of findings show 10 participants agree that their photographs did evoke feelings in the public. Many of them believe that they played a core an important role in the events of the demonstration by documenting and beating witnesses and not only did they document but they also motivated the public. This attests to the fact that the use of photographs results in the influence of readers and the public. However these influences are not merely limited to just the public,the researchers concludes that to an extent the government felt the weight of the public through the pictures. It was as though the masses were sending a clear message in color and bright prints to the government through the photographers. The photographs of the events serve as a reminder and a story to the events of October 2020,it tells the story like no one else will,without bias or agenda. This therefore implies that photographs are like a pen in the hand of a writer,they tell tales and makes us understand
