Nuestra propia mente causa nuestros problemas, no son los demás, ni “el mundo de allá afuera”. […]      Cometemos el gran error de identificarnos con nuestra mente, de pensar que eso es lo que somos, cuando de hecho somos seres mucho más grandes.

Hey guys! In association with @patagonia, @care2 and @keepalaskawild I’ve been asked to help support a cause that I truly believe in. Alaska’s 19 million acre Wild Life Refuge is one of the last few intact landscapes in America. This Wild Life Refuge is currently being threatened by big oil and needs your help to be protected. I’m sharing a few old images and sharing how this landscape has greatly changed me, please look, share, the link in my bio. Sign the petition and watch the video @patagonia Produced that explains the cause. Please help protect one of the last nature wild life refuges in the world. #wearethearctic #sponsored

Getty Images Reportage at Visa Pour l’Image 2016

This weekend kicks off the 28th Visa Pour l’Image festival in Perpignan, France, a celebration of today’s best photojournalism. Several Getty Images Reportage photographers will have their work screened and exhibited this year, and are participating in some of the week’s public talks.

“Ivory Wars” - Brent Stirton

Africa’s elephants have long been vulnerable to hunters in pursuit of ivory. In recent years, several of the continent’s terrorist groups have turned to poaching as a source of funding: the border-hopping Lord’s Resistance Army, the Seleka of the Central African Republic, the Janjaweed of Sudan, and FDLR rebels inside Virunga National Park. This reportage shows the toll of the violence on the elephants, the surrounding communities, and the brave but meager forces charged with protecting the creatures.

Exhibiting at the Eglise des Dominicains

“Born Into Conflict” - Juan Arredondo

Juan is the winner of this year’s Humanitarian Visa d’or award, sponsored by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), for his work about child soldiers in Colombia. Over the past two years, Juan has been photographing child soldiers in that country, some of them demobilized and others still active. It is estimated that approximately 6000 children have been with illegal armed groups in Colombia.

Exhibiting at the Palais des Corts

“The Price of Vanity” - Paolo Marchetti

Paolo’s work, recently published in National Geographic, shows the animal farming process behind the fur, feathers and leather used in Europe’s fashion industry. The volume of business alone amounts to millions of euros a year and includes many famous brands: Gucci, Hermès, Cartier, Burberry, and many more. Italy and France alone are responsible for half of all European demand. Paolo shows mink farms in Poland, Caiman breeding in Colombia, and other abattoirs around the world.

Screening in the Campo Santo on Thursday, Sept. 1, at 9:45p

“The ‘Hijacked’ Life of African Migrants in Johannesburg” - Jonathan Torgovnik

Jonathan’s project shows the harsh living conditions of African migrants in Johannesburg’s inner city, where many live in so-called ‘hijacked’ buildings, abandoned by white owners in the post-apartheid era and now run by unauthorized slumlords. Recent years have seen a rise in xenophobic attacks on migrants to South Africa, a particular threat to residents of these buildings, who come from Malawi, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Zambia and beyond.

Screening in the Campo Santo on Friday, Sept. 2, at 9:45

“Afghanistan: Between Hope and Fear” - Paula Bronstein

In her new book, Paula, one of the world’s leading female photojournalists, presents a powerful portrayal of daily life in war-torn Afghanistan, offering the most complete visual narrative history of this pivotal Middle East country currently in print.

Screening in the Campo Santo on Friday, Sept. 2, at 9:45p

“Dallas” - Peter Dench

In the summer 2015, Peter was unleashed to photograph the iconic city of Dallas, Texas. Dench’s journey took him across the vast urban landscape capturing the color and characters he met along the way. His forensic eye reveals a place far removed from the fantasies of film and television, a contrasting metroplex of baseball caps and cowboy hats, horsepower and horses. His photos are a saturated slap about the senses, a sideways glance at a fully loaded, remarkable American territory.

Screening in the Campo Santo on Friday, Sept. 2, at 9:45p

“Black and White Photography: Only for Festivals?”

Reportage’s Brent Stirton joins National Geographic photo editor Patrick Witty and the photographer Stanley Greene to discuss the respective merits of black and white and color photography.

Wednesday, 11am, at the Palais des Congres
