Photojournalism: Srebrenica

[elmedin_mehic]

This is something like photo story but, photojournalism, Srebrenica is a place where was killed over 10 000 of bosnian people during 11. July 1995. In one day, thousands of them were killed by Serb forces which were ledded by Ratko Mladić. These are photos from this year 11. July 2011. Every year when they find bodies in mass graves, hundreds of them are buried on the 11th July. This year 613 victims were buried.

The memorial shot is upside-down. Otherwise, I like them all. Very good work.

Yeah, that is a point, I'm not like other photographer, many of them take a photo from normal angle but if you see my photo it's from top and the point are shadows of people that can't be seend verywell because of watermark... Thank you very much.

I like the angle from the top - I'm just saying that it may work better if the text was right-side up. Just something to try... If you don't like it, you don't like it...

It's just hard to read the names right now...


edit
If you rotate it, you could always just move the watermark to the bottom so it still obscures the shadows.

But, I think it's weard then if I put it right-side up

I've seen footage of the event on television yesterday, but I feel that your photos tell even more of a story than the news report (with motion and sound) could - so yes, I think you work is quite strong!

The last photo you have posted is the one that I think has the most impact, I like it very much. Well done on all of them.
