Many photographs taken by the photographer Oliviero Toscani during his collaboration with the Italian brand BENETTON, represent the problem of prejudice, and attempt to combat it. They attempt to abolish racist beliefs by visualizing and emphasizing the racial diversity which can be found in one nation. They illustrate a mixed and miscellaneous love and are not scared to situate bodies close to each other, paying no heed to the colour of their skin. (Toscani 1997, 47.) Moreover, all of the photos, which show different races promote ideas of tolerance, respect for diversity among them, and propagate peace among all nationalities and nations. (Benetton 2012).
