Our galleries in this edition include three of the more traditional variety – highlighting high-quality stills photography – and two which embrace a new way of telling stories with images and sound; multi-media presentations.
For her blend of pictures and audio, Mariana Bazo was commissioned by Reuters
to visit a clinic in the Peruvian Andes to record “vertical births”. The result
is two moving documentaries brought to life by multi-media experts at the international
agency.
For her highly unusual gallery, Anastasia Taylor-Lind from the UK spent time with two young women who take risks most days of their lives to entertain with a program of dramatic stunt-riding.
When they are not at horse shows displaying their death-defying skills, Camilla
Neprous and her partner Amy Woodward – the subject of Anastasia’s gallery - are
on film sets doubling for Hollywood stars.
Turkish freelance Eren Aytug visited refugee camps in and around the South African
city of Cape Town where immigrants have sought shelter from a series of ferocious,
and sometimes fatal, attacks by locals.
Eren says he cannot believe that after South Africa had freed itself from the horrors of apartheid this kind xenophobic violence could be taking place.
Qiu Yan – the Photo Director of the Changjiang Daily in China – could not get to the scene of a devastating earthquake in Sichuan Province in May 2008 straight away.
However, arriving a few days later, he was able to capture a serious of exceptional and moving images reflecting the widespread damage to the area and its communities.
They are featured here in his gallery.
