Portrait: Honorable Mention 2022 (professional)
WE ARE HERE 002 by ANDY BARNHAM (United Kingdom)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The project documents the experiences of Afghan interpreters who were resettled to the U.K. through photo portraiture. The portraits have been edited in a manner to help anonymise the interpreters who have been at risk and who, potentially, have family in Afghanistan still under threat. The individual portraits are a composite of up to a dozen frames which have each been blurred or pixelated and then overlaid to present a final portrait. This process can also be seen as inflicting trauma on the portraits, in acknowledgement of their experiences.
