Their names are Lewis Hine, Sebastião Salgado, Eugene Smith, Tom
Stoddart, and Igor Kostin. They tackled hunger, drought, ecological
catastrophes, HIV. They are documentary photographers, authors, and
journalists who decided to aim their cameras at a series of unknown
stories that had to be revealed, told, understood, and denounced.
Our Brothers' keepers gathers twenty protagonists and twenty exemplary
stories of documentary photography. Each one is presented by an
introductory text, and a selection of photographs conveys the sense and
value of these extremely important reports. It is a peculiar way to
track the history of our days, as well as the one of photography, of
those concerned authors who wanted to show things that had to be
corrected, who wanted to show things that had to be appreciated.
