Many photographers have abandoned neutral documentary photography in favor of advocating for environmental causes that are important to them. And with massive social media followings, photographers like Paul Nicklen, Ami Vitale, Sebastião Salgado, Michael Forsberg, and many others are helping to shine a spotlight on issues big and small, and using photography as a primary storytelling device.
