Humanitarian Photojournalism: “Images should motivate viewers to take action”.
Travelling to the far corners of the world to tell compelling stories, reveal the humanside of issues faced by people across the Globe. The pictures of a humanitarian photojournalist list the basic human elements that comprise the fabric binding all cultures together in our rapidly homogenizing, yet sometimes divided, global community. Peering well beyond the surface of unfolding stories, the photographs try to reveal the heart, and sometimes heart-wrenching truth. The aim of the photographer is to offer viewers intimate glimpses into the live of ordinary people all over the world and provide an opportunity for them to reflect upon and understand their personal struggles and triumphs. With a keen awareness and reverence to human dignity, a humanitarian photojournalist tries to create photographs that not only educate and motivate, but also stir into a viewer’s deep emotion.
