Haiti – An overview

One of the biggest hurdles we photographers face is the ability or indecision of how to accurately present our work. There’s so much that goes into each photograph, so many facets to each situation and so many stories. I recently gave a couple of slide-show presentations of my work in Haiti. I had just over 100 slides picked out to tell a bit of a story. The situation in Haiti is too complex to try communicate it in a short preview of images.

Having thought long and hard about how to adequately represent my work in Haiti, I went with Thorsten Overgaard’s suggestion of turning the slide-show presentations I’ve done in person into a voice annotated slideshow and put it on my website.

I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed creating these images. Watch this in full screen if you can.

Haiti – an Overview from felix kunze on Vimeo.

A voice-annotated slide-show of photographs by Photographer Felix Kunze who travelled to Haiti after the January 2010 earthquake – work shows a variety of areas including the atmosphere in Haiti, living conditions of locals as well as work being done with orphans.

Felix concentrated on the good being done in Haiti, rather than taking photographs of death and despair, there is a lot of good coming out of Haiti.
