EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the alarming reality of cigarette butt litter on the streets of Lyon, France. Taken on June 14,2018, it serves as a visual reminder of the urgent need for action against this pervasive issue. The French government is determined to put an end to this bane by proposing new regulations if tobacco companies fail to present effective solutions. In this close-up shot, we witness a disturbing scene where discarded cigarette butts cover the pavement. The depth of field and out-of-focus elements emphasize the sheer volume and extent of waste generated by tobacco addiction in urban cities like Lyon. This creative use of photography sheds light on how smoking products contribute to environmental degradation. The absence of people in the frame allows us to focus solely on these abandoned remnants, symbolizing both individual habits and collective responsibility towards our surroundings. As smoke from cigarettes pollutes not only our air but also our city life, it becomes evident that immediate measures are necessary for a cleaner environment. Emmanuel Foudrot's photograph prompts contemplation about the impact of tobacco industry practices and urges viewers to consider alternative ways to address their addiction without compromising public health or nature's well-being. Let this image serve as a call-to-action for change – one that demands innovative approaches and responsible choices regarding smoking habits worldwide.
