Inspired Me Monday: Walter Astrada
This week I got to see the newest multimedia piece on http://www.mediastorm.com/, it's a piece by photojournalist Walter Astrada on the mistreatment of women in India. I know I was certainly unaware of the situation in India. You can see the full story here: http://mediastorm.com/publication/undesired
Each time I see a story like this I struggle to walk the line between showing the reality of the situation without exploiting individuals in a negative/dangerous way. Throughout this story I was horrified by certain photos, but I could not help but to connect with them emotionally. I can see the strides and the work that this piece must of been for both Walter Astrada and Media Storm.
This week I walk away from this project considering the bravery it takes to make others aware of what is going on in the world. It takes you harnessing your own emotions and using them for the benefit of others. I hope that we can all have the courage to tell the story for individuals who cannot tell their own.
