Art should be butterflies, it should do what makes you happy. However, if you're compelled to reflect on society as you see it, which I do, then we have a rare opportunity. We're not CEOs, we're not head of corporations, so we can be honest, and we can use art to wield symbols to affect culture in some minute way.
And I think it's very important. If you see injustice or a sort of perspective of reality that maybe other people don't do, then I think that can add a lot of strength to your work, and to talk about things that other people can't. We're in a very privileged position to do this as artists, and if you want to, you're in a great place to do it.

And as another photographer, he really explains them very well as far as what a photographer, and any photographer in here, Chas or Swati, would understand immediately upon looking at photos why he was positioning these people in the positions in which he put them, which you never do for professional photographs, for anything appealing. So he definitely had a bench he was going with.
