The Photographer I chose is Zoriah. Zoriah is an award-winning photojournalist whose work has been featured in some of the world’s most prestigious galleries, museums and publications. Zoriah’s clients include Time, Newsweek, The New York Times, BBC News, The United Nations, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, NPR, The Wall Street Journal, Fortune and many others. In addition to his journalism clients his photographs also appear in Glamour, Rolling Stone, Cosmopolitan, GQ, Elle and countless other top publications. With a background in Disaster Management and Humanitarian Aid, Zoriah specializes in documenting human crises in developing countries. His vitae not only lists photographic achievements and study, but also the in-depth training and experience necessary for working under extreme conditions in some of the world’s harshest environments. Zoriah’s intent is to go into places that most people wouldn’t dare to go to, to shine a light on the problems in different countries and to show the world how others live and their conditions and their cultures. The following three photos are from Phnom Penh, Cambodia. I chose these photos because I felt that they are very strong and raw images that I felt you all should see.
A boy eats dinner outside of a train track slum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
A young girl plays with garbage while sitting on train tracks in a small slum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Children in the slums often don’t have money or toys but can pass hours playing together or with found objects.
A young boy pauses while collecting trash near a dump site slum on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Many children in developing countries are forced to fight for survival by scavenging through garbage looking for items to sell and recycle.
