Depicting people’s dignity, strength and suffering
I watched an interesting documentary yesterday, in the photojournalism class I’m auditing, about the works of activist photographer Sebastião Salgado.
Some quotes by Salgado:
“The picture is not made by the photographer, the picture is more good or less good in function of the relationship that you have with the people you photograph.”
“You photograph with all your ideology.”
