“My goal is always to create high-impact, evocative images which not only inform, but also spark the desire to become involved… images that cause reflection upon and empathy with another human being’s struggle, all the while, respecting the dignity of those who appear in the photos. When successful, my imagery reveals a common humanity, allowing viewers to see a bit of themselves in other human beings, half a world away. Beyond just providing information… the images should motivate viewers to take action”.
I read these words in Karl Grobl’s blog, who has been working as a photojournalist for NGO in many different countries all over the world. I like his words and his attitude towards photojournalism, not only provide information, but also motivate viewers to take action.
