Ryan Lobo: Photographing the hidden story
Monday, December 21st, 2009
Ryan Lobo has traveled the world, taking photographs that tell stories of unusual human lives. In this haunting talk, he reframes controversial subjects with empathy, so that we see the pain of a Liberian war criminal, the quiet strength of UN women peacekeepers and the perseverance of Delhi’s under appreciated firefighters.
This is a wonderful TED talk and well worth watching. The first story alone is quite amazing. Ryan’s images are excellent and when you add the context of a backstory the images really come alive.
Tip: Watch it full screen.
