ETHICS: A POWERFUL PHOTOGRAPHY


DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTO
In this photo we can see a black man who is seriously injured .

REAL FACTS
World Press Photo of the Year: 1994 James Nachtwey, USA, Magnum Photos for Time. Rwanda, June 1994.
In this picture, Lurlena cries in the back of the family car after losing the contest for Carnival Princess at her school. She spent the day getting ready, with a new white dress and new shoes. The winner was decided based on whose parents bought the most tickets, and Lurlena’s family could only afford eight dollars worth.

DESCRIPTION:
In the Photo there is a child painting a picture of a war in a notebook, but the child doesn’t have fingers in one of his arms so he’s painting with a marker glued in his T-shirt, and he has got his other hand bandaged. Also it seems that he’s got his face burnt and he is very dirty and alone in a hospital.

REAL FACTS:
Who- Deanne Fitzmaurice.
When- in 2005
Where- In Iraq, after the war in Iraq.
Why- It doesn’t appear.

MY CHOICE:
I’ve chosen the photo because the first time I saw it I found it very hard. It is an unusual photo and I feel sorry for the child.
