This photo was taken by an unnamed European Press Agency photographer of the friends and neighbors of "Slumdog Millionare" child actor Mohammed Isharrudin Ismeal, as the movie won the Oscar for Best Picture. I liked this picture because it captured a moment in history for the city of Mumbai. It shows how many children were watching a small, old T.V. yet had incredible joy for their friend. It shows the impact of the movie on the slums of Mumbai.
I chose this picture taken by Shawn Baldwin of the NYTimes, because it is an example of how an unusual picture can sometimes tell the story the best. The angle at which this picture was shot gave the reader the depth of field which shows just how many brides and grooms there were that day. However, the photographer got close enough to two couples in order to show the traditional detailing of the veils, the bride's make-up, and the expression on the couples' faces.
I chose this picture taken by Beatrice de Gea, NY Times, because she truly captured the emotion on these four women's faces as they await treatment in Tanzania after suffering from internal injuries during labour. The composition is simple, the colors are simple which allows the picture to speak through the emotional anguish of these women. The photographer used natural light to highlight the expressions of the women.
