It’s plain to see that people here in Bangladesh don’t have as much money in their pockets as the average westerner. The majority of children don’t get the education, nutrition and the [...]

duckrabbit posted this on May 1st, 2011 close today.
Last year they awarded the major grant to Stefano De Luigi for a project title T.I.A, ‘This Is Africa’. If you get to the end of this (extended) post you’ll be able to read what a group of Kenyan photographers think of the judges choice but for those who don’t stay the distance [...]

duckrabbit posted this on April 20th, 2011 Every now and again duckrabbit has the pleasure of training someone who understands that to nail a great photofilm has as much to with sweat as it does talent. David Mansell-Moullin has worked his photofilm ‘To The Desert’, close to perfection.
Short, poetic and speaking to my heart. I hope it speaks to yours too [...]
duckrabbit posted this on February 3rd, 2011 If you are a photographer interested in working in the NGO/Humanitarian sector this will interest you.
Next week I am training the communications staff working out of MSF Brussels and quite a few of their overseas staff. MSF have an amazing track record of working with photographers and in Bruno, Julie and Olga they run [...]
duckrabbit posted this on February 1st, 2011 It’s hard to argue with a photographer when they point to a photo of their own that they once loved but now think is a ‘lie’.
Simon Sticker has done just that in an interesting post about a photo he took in Rwanda.
In photography he says, referring to his own pictures, a ‘lie’ [...]
duckrabbit posted this on January 4th, 2011 Wish more people made gentle films like this. And wish more people understood this is a convinceing way to engage people about climate change.
Thanks @finnryan for sharing

duckrabbit posted this on January 3rd, 2011 Ciara Leeming summed it up beautifully on the BBC recently when she said the problem with many ‘photojournalists’ is that they have little understanding of journalism.
Dominic Nahr’s set of pics in TIME is a great example. Why? Where is the coherency and where is the story?
To be fair to Dominic he’s run around [...]
diederik-meijer posted this on November 12th, 2010 Some interesting thoughts by Claudia Hinterseer of NOOR Images in this BJP article:
“The present is (roughly) making stories on spec and selling pics for publication in print, online and so on, the future is in initiating projects, multimedia, grants and foundations. To survive you have to do both for a period of time.”
Hinterseer [...]
duckrabbit posted this on November 2nd, 2010 In many ways sound is the ultimate visual medium. When we listen to something, or someone, we create images in our mind.
One of the clichés of photography, particularly humanitarian photography, is that it gives people a voice. Watch the video on the front page of the VISA website to see exactly what I mean. [...]
duckrabbit posted this on October 19th, 2010 On paper Pete Masters is the web editor of MSF UK, and although he is a bit of a geek, Pete is so much more … he’s duckrabbit’s best ever student.
Now whilst MSF go into really troubled places and save lives (and a lot more), Pete isn’t all humanitarian, because secretly on the [...]
duckrabbit posted this on September 27th, 2010 Thank you for your response to my post yesterday critisizing the way way certain photo agencies seem content to abuse the rights of indvidual photographers. I am sorry that we misunderstood you. Might that have something to do with upholding a logic that many people find is at odds with your self stated remit of [...]
duckrabbit posted this on July 30th, 2010 Tonight I have followed Rabbit’s link to Jodi Bieber’s powerful and dignified photos of women in Afghanistan. I then went to look at the Editor of TIME, RICHARD STENGE’s, explanation of why he put the following photograph on the front cover:
‘Our cover image this week is powerful, shocking and disturbing. It is [...]

‘I’ve avoided the temptation to say that, in the United States, poverty is white. It’s true, however, that there are twice as many poor whites as there are poor blacks. While a larger percentage of the African-American population lives in poverty, the sheer number of poor whites — 24.1 million — overwhelms the number [...]
duckrabbit posted this on May 19th, 2010 “What happened to us should not happen to anyone.”
Photographer Susan Meiselas and reporter Dumeetha Luthra traveled to India for Human Rights Watch to retrace the steps of one woman who died after giving birth to a son.
Powerful and respectful work.

duckrabbit posted this on January 20th, 2010 Well done to Pete Masters at MSF for producing this thoughtful audio slideshow just a couple of hours after conducting the interview with the MSF surgeon Paul McMaster. It gives you a clear insight both of the need for help and just where your money is going.
Proof that giving to [...]

“Our original mission was to provide airborn medical relief in the developing world but since 1992 we’ve been heavily involved in providing care here in the United States.”

duckrabbit posted this on December 25th, 2009 Very roughly some 2000 years ago we nailed some bloke called Jesus to a tree.
Nothing new about that. Nailing people to trees was a rather effective form of crowd control.
Since then though a lot of people have been following this Jesus bloke. One of his oft quoted mantras was treat other people people [...]
Ciara Leeming posted this on December 22nd, 2009 It’s hard to believe that Saturday will mark five years since the devastating south Asian Tsunami which claimed some 300,000 lives. To mark this anniversary – hardly one to celebrate – DFID, the department for international development, dispatched Panos photographer Abbie Trayler Smith to show how British money has helped rebuild shattered lives in Banda [...]
