As some of you already know I'm working on a project which involves photographing poor children (and families, but mostly children) in their environment. I already posted few examples and got critique on those photos. Thank you all! Project is kind of paused now because of some problems that occur with paperwork but in the other hand this pause gives me more time to visit more families and take photos of more children.
For every visit I have to borrow a camera from a friend, because mine is not capable to take decent shots indoors. My friend's camera is Canon 600d with 17-55 2.8 lens.
Organization of this visits depends on availability of friend's camera, official driver and car and of course those children have to be at home, not in school. So it's not easy but I manage.
Now... there is a competition in photojournalism photography I consider to enter with one photo from a visit. " .... photographers can enter the competition whose theme, this year, is to "defend and advocate for the dignity of human beings and nature."
I need opinions from you guys. Does this photo fit in the theme? Does this photo evoke an emotional reaction? Is it good enough for sending?
I've never considered to enter any kind of competition before. And I don't expect anything from this one except to, kind of knowing for my self, that I created something that's worthy and evokes emotions and thinking about particular theme.
Thank you in advance!
Here is the photo. Post processing was just some curves and desaturation.
