The solutions that this photographer has found to illustrate a difficult story are remarkably inventive and elegantly executed. In reality there is little to photograph on this subject since for the most part the virus is confined to birds, and as yet has had little impact on the human population. Nevertheless the photographer found images that are intriguing and engrossing.
“Tracing the Next Killer Flu” Smart photography and smart editing. This project tackles a difficult subject and does it very well.
A complex story to tell, and very well done. The image of the guy sucking the blood from the chicken makes me recoil.
Great way of illustrating a disease that has yet to manifest. The opening image does a good job at articulating the scope of the story of trying to contain a looming epidemic.
