How I took Pulitzer-winning picture – by photographer Adrees Latif | The Guardian UK
Latif just won the Pulitzer for the above photograph of japanese video journalist Kenji Nagai (of APF), as he lays dying, videoing Burmese troops attacking protestors, after just having been shot. Nagai later died. Latif weaves a lucid context for the photo in the Guardian article.
On a side note: this hits close to home for all the obvious reasons but also for the fact that recently I’ve been helping my homie Isaiah Seret on a psa campaign for the situation in Burma and the FREE BURMA movement. Isaiah is writing, directing, producing and editing several spots and I’ve been handling art-direction and on-screen graphics for a few of them. Too early to show, just yet. Isaiah’s campaign hits the subject matter from several different angles, each one more creative than the next. It’s a watershed project for him, and I can’t wait to see the entire campaign assembled.
