Refugee by Craig Hender
These refugee’s were traveling to Chad via Niger and stopped near our rig site to make repairs to their truck. After giving them water food and milk for the women, babies and children, they were gracious enough to let me take some shots. They still had 1000km to travel at this point………Life is sometimes very cruel!
Shot in the Sahara desert, Libya.
Nikon D300, 24 – 120mm at 52mm, f18, 1/125, ISO 200.

An amazing series Craig … powerful images, aided by the superb treatment.
Emotive and powerful story and image. A true ‘photo of life’ shot. A great series of images.
“Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.” ~Edward Steichen
Very emotive. Well done Craig.
One of the best Portrait shots i have seen yet Craig. B & W really does make this stand out. The main subject is well positioned and a very good portrait shot. “http://www.philadelphia33.org/":http://www.philadelphia33.org/
