SUMMARY

Our key role is not just to focus on problems but to act as a catalyst for new solutions. These pages will outline what has been achieved so far (for example the new web based image library for purchasing indigenous photography www.majorityworld.com). They will also outline practical steps that organisations and individuals can take to make a difference.

“I was frequently struck by the intimacy and sensitivity that majority world photographers are able to establish with their subjects and how the imagery clearly reflects the cultural and linguistic understanding that would be difficult, if not impossible, for photographers from the north to accomplish.” Mark Antman, ImageWorks, USA

“They don’t have the eye”.  Director of major european photo-library justifying commissions in developing countries given to European photographers rather than local photographers.
