Thanks to The Aftermath Project (a special grant Simona won last year) we traveled in Western Sahara and Saharawi refugee camps in Algeria to collect women stories. Now we’re doing a crowdfunding campaign to be able to produce a documentary, the campaign will end on November 22. Please, have a look and (if you like the project) support us at this website:

About the post-processing… It might be a bit overdone and in my opinion, all of this would have been even better in black and white. Still, I like it.

Yes there is a lot of post-process in there but I think it actually bring a very interesting dimension to this work. I have to say that if well done, post-processing really helps bringing a new look on documentary photography. Although this essay would have been as strong as it is now without the post-process, which is a proof of how good it is.

Congratulations Simona!

Anyway, there are what strike me as some powerful images here, particularly #’s 1, 2, 5, 8, 16 and 17 and I do get the idea that by making them unnaturally dark, the artist is making a statement and trying to force us to either move on and not look at the picture at all or to peer deeper into it and maybe think a little more about it. Yet, I think, for me, the darkness of the situation would come through even stronger without the artificial, highlight suffocating, layer placed on top of them.

Then again, maybe I am being like Jim after all, clinging to my old ways of viewing and thinking, and this effect truly is brilliant after all.

I don’t think so (though I do think some of the photos brilliant at their core), but maybe.

Congratulations Simona, this topic is very important to get out there, and there are some wonderful images here. However I must say I feel a bit manipulated by the manipulation.

One or two are badly processed and may benefit from revisiting.
