A message to
students from Mr. Salgado
It was a big surprise for me to be invited for my co-operation
in the development of a new course in documentary photography
at Nippon Photography Institute in Japan. I had been thinking
that most photography schools in Japan had already provided
a program involving photographic fieldwork. However, sad to
say, it seems that photography students in Japan currently
have no such learning environment.
Documentary photography is very
important and essential for every society in the world. For
me, documentary photography functions like a mirror, providing
a chance to see and know each other by revealing the true
nature of our community, within any society. And each of us
can grow and develop as an individual through involvement
in documentary photography interacting with society.
I have written as follows in the prologue of my new photographic
project, entitled 'Genesis'
"International conferences have been organized to discuss
the state of the earth affected by constant urban development
and the effects on the quality of water, forest destruction,
regional poverty, and even the epidemic of aids. Everybody
has material desires and wants and will do what it takes to
get an affluent lifestyle. However, many people will not seriously
stand up or fight for the rights of a minority of people suffering
from poverty or other squalor conditions. Most of us live
in a privileged material world and tend to forget the struggle
of many human beings on this earth. Protests for the rights
of poverty-stricken minorities are usually written superficially
in the media and even if you read these printed stories, you
still cannot visualize their plight."
So, international photographers can document the truth using
the tools and techniques of documentary photography, exposing
to the world the deprivations and tribulations these minorities
of the world suffer and empower these people by published
photographs.
I seriously hope you will take real action and engage yourself
in this rewarding vocation and career of a Documentary Photographer.
To truly be an excellent documentary photographer you need
to open your heart and set forth your will, without compromise. |
