Munem Wasif

Munem Wasif is a documentary photographer who photographs his own culture in Bangladesh the people he photographs could be suffering or enjoying life he doesn't discriminate who he photographs. As Munem Wasif photographs his own people he can get closer and get more intermet photos of the people who let him get close.

As you can see munem wasif can get close to his subjects without any problems he photographs what he thinks can show what Bangladesh is like.

I chose to look at Munem Wasif as he is the opposite of Steve McCurry who is the outsider taking photos of a culture were as Munem Wasif is part of the culture he is photographing I guess I wanted to get another practitioners who is in different circumstances.

Steve McCurry untold: the story behind the photograph

The Steve McCurry untold: the story behind the photograph is full of journals and passports of Steve McCurry's journey while he was traveling to different countries. 

Steve McCurry Untold spans 30 years of McCurry's career and includes fascinating ephemera from his travels: diary entries, photos of him at work and some of the 20-plus passports he's gone through over the decades… He manages to make the world seem enormous and quite small; exotic, and somehow familiar.

Spread over some 250 pages are famous and lesser-known images, as well as anecdotes and shots of ephemera he gathered along the way, including letters and journal pages

Reading though this book gives you an insight to what Steve McCurry went through while he was taking photos around the world. It made me want to do something similar with my own photography as I would love to travel and photograph what I learn
