Dying in Africa. PART II

by

20 minutes to better understand what my earlier post was about. Chimamanda Adichietalks about literature but photography is as much a guilty member of this . We should no longer be the instruments of intellectual colonization.
Next time you embark on a photo shoot, think of where your story will fit in the perception of the country, continent and culture you are about to photograph.

    As a stock photographer, you need to feed the hoaxes and the stereotypes of your (Western) customers. No room for reality or truth. Advertisements is all about lies.
