Ethics and considerations of documenting the migrant crisis using photography, with Magnum's David Kogan, Magnum Photographer Mark Power and Amnesty
65.3 million people, or one person in 113, were displaced from their homes by conflict and persecution in 2015
We have a responsibility to think not just about what’s going in one particular place at one particular time; it is very important to capture as many ends of this story as possible,” says Magnum’s Executive Director David Kogan.
Power, photographers like him, and the agencies who commission them, are driven by a sense of duty, not only to tell the human story but to create an historical record
the still photograph is a pause point. It presents a moment to stop and consider.
We’re very cautious at Amnesty to avoid the use of images where we think people – dead or alive – are robbed of their agency and presented merely as victims
