Comment on Wolfgang Tillmans photos of Haiti for Christian Aid by Cat Laine

Hmm, it sounds like an example of the art buyer, in this case Christian Aid, not understanding how to hire the right photog for the job. That’s how just Wolfgang Tillman shoots. His style IS the “snapshot aesthetic”. If they wanted something that looked like proper reportage or National Geographic, they should have hired a photojournalist or a travel photographer.

Comment on Do Duckrabbit’s ads for Oxfam match their rhetoric? by Rob Johns

Rob Johns — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 21:52:30 +0000

I think your comments are a little unfair. As you yourself say, the ads are aimed at raising funds in the UK and present a unique perspective from individuals who donate money to Oxfam. They are ads and not a documentary film and need to get the message across quickly. Whilst it is correct to give the people in the developing world a voice nonetheless a common sense approach should also be applied and for many reasons it may not always be possible or necessary. How would hearing the voices of the recipients add to the message already conveyed? Works for me. I’m not one for political correctness for the sake of it.
