Following on from my article on Raghu Rai’s photos of the Union Carbide gas disaster in Bhopal it is worth checking out the Greenpeace Photo Essay webpage. The photo essays are a mix, combining evidential images – basically an investigatory documentation approach to support their claims – and ‘witnessing’ documentary photography – either illustrating the beauty of nature or its destruction.
This essay ‘Following the e-waste trail’ – takes a very ‘evidential’ visual approach with an investigative selection of images, combined with Google Maps showing the tracking of the waste. There is the option at the end to embed the slide show in your own webpage.
‘Scraplife – e-waste in Pakistan’ takes a more traditional multi-media approach, using still photos by professional photographer Robert Knoth in combination with commentary and audio sound track. Focus is on individuals involved in recycling toxic substances.
