Yesterday I was watching the documentary ‘Born into Brothels’ from Ross Kauffman and Zana Briski.
‘Born into Brothels’ follow 8 kids as they discover photography and thus learn to look at their world differently. These photographs are a pure incursion into the soul of these kids and genuine expression of beauty and talent.
So fare, this project help put these kids through school. The project proved so successful that the organizers decided to help under privileged kids from other country such as Egypt or Zambia.
You can view the kids pictures and make donations to support further development of the project by visiting http://www.kids-with-cameras.org/
More then an inspirational story, this is also a good demonstration that candour is one of the best qualities a photograph can have. We should all watch and learn… H.
