American photographer Eric Pickersgill came up with a fantastic project called "Removed." He removes handheld devices from his pictures to show how lonely and strange the "hunched" over pose is. Here is how Quartz describes the images, "In each portrait, electronic devices have been edited out so that people stare at their hands, or the empty space between their hands, often ignoring beautiful surroundings or opportunities for human connection. The results are a bit sad and eerie—and a reminder, perhaps, to put our phones away."

Possible Preaching Angle:

The images reveal this strange and lonely new world that we have created because of using our devices so frequently. The photos themselves would serve as a good illustration to show our need for community, connecting with each other, and spending quality time together.
