Richards is a documentary photographer who is and American documentary photographer, he uses a lot of black and white color to show the audience his photography. He is a photographer based in New York City who travels to take photographs documenting themes to the audience. Richards is involved with the Magnum photos company who are based in London, Tokyo and Japan, he documents what is going on in the world for himself and the company.
This image taken by Richards captures a unique style which is being documented so vividly, it is showing a mother and her baby; unfortunately the mother can not provide for her baby as we can see due to the lack of nutrition the baby is receiving. I feel this style is a theme which everyone in the world needs to witness to make a difference and help different communities.
Another image by Richards which is in a style which is also black and white in which he portrays his images. I feel this photo is documenting a father screaming at a young child, due to the sad colors. I like this style as I feel Richards is documenting world issues which we should all be aware of.
Tim Hetherington:
Hetherington was a documentary photographer from England, he was well known for writing books and best known for winning the Jury prize for Restrepo documentary. Unfortunately, he lost his life when serving in the Libyan civil war when he was hit by a Motar shell. His style is mixed between using color and sad somber colors such as black and white. Hetherington, documents his service in the army so vividly and shows what his fellow comrades go through.
This image I feel strongly about, as Hetherington is showing the world that in less economic developed countries, young children are allowed to have guns. Whereas in more economic developed countries, you have to have a license to hold a gun. Therefore, this documents the style of some people are restricted due to the lack of skills and education they are given due to where they are born.
This photo shows how hard it is to be in the army, you have to have the correct balance of sleep, food and rest. Hetherington is documenting the style of what army life is like, it is hard core for not only the soldiers but also the families hoping their loved ones are all fine. The style of the photo portrays that his rest is so important, that the bed frame or thin duvet or lighting will not even wake him as he is use to the conditions.
Stephanie Sinclair:
Sinclair is an American photojournalist and documentary photographer,she likes to base her photography on human rights and gender, as in today's modern society gender equality is a massive issue. Her work is well known due to the style and themes she focuses on.
This image shows a young girl and boy who have just got married, they look extremely unhappy. The boy is older than the girl. However, this photo shows this girl wants to be like other girls who wants to learn and have an education before becoming a wife and mother at such a young age. But her country and religion have made alternative arrangements for her to become a young mother and wife. Sinclair shows how unaware we are globally. We do not take into consideration what happens to these young couples, by Sinclair documenting this we are shown a style of discrimination and no human rights to back out.
This image also shows human rights not in place, a crowded hospital room, unhygienic with no wards separated for children and adults. This style shows the lack of tools and rooms the hospital have, they have to cram everyone in one room; even if it means people on the floor. This shows how unequal society is. This style is a style I feel strongly about, everyone deserves the best health care as health is the most important thing we have.
