Humanitarian photography beyond the headlines

Edited by William A. Ewing and Elisa Rusca, *Human.Kind.* brings together work by thirty photographers selected from artists nominated for the Prix Pictet since its 2008 founding. The project, developed with the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum, uses a broad understanding of humanitarian photography: images are included for their humanitarian impulse and qualities such as care, dignity and empathy. This framing shifts attention from familiar breaking-news imagery toward a varied collection of contemporary photographs. The book’s central subject is how photographic work can engage with humanitarian concerns and the possibility of positive change.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in contemporary photography and group exhibitions.
  • For those exploring humanitarian themes through visual art.
  • For photography students or collectors interested in the Prix Pictet and its nominated artists.

Book overview

In this thought-provoking anthology, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum has partnered with the Prix Pictet, the world's leading prize for photography and sustainability, to show a different side to humanitarian photography.

Coeditors William A. Ewing and Elisa Rusca decided to select thirty photographers from the five thousand or so artists who have been nominated since the award was founded in 2008. Adopting a broad definition of humanitarian photography, they looked for work with a visible humanitarian impulse and attributes such as care, dignity, and empathy.

The result is a diverse, stimulating and, at times, surprising visual display that is very different from the "breaking news" images we often associate with humanitarian action. What sets these photographs apart? An unerring sense of compassion. This compelling collection underlines the power of contemporary photography to move us and inspire positive change in the world.
