Link in bio. “For this edition of square prints, which pays tribute to the work of George Rodger, one of Magnum’s founding fathers, I have chosen a picture I shot in Mali in 1988. It was my first visit there and, as I shoot in color, I found Africa to be a difficult place to work as the light is so harsh. But I was attracted to the unusual attitude of this boy and to the weird shape of the piece of fabric next to him. (What was hidden underneath it, to this day I still don’t know!) It is a strange and quite surreal image, and in that sense, very different from the kind of pictures George Rodger took while he was documenting ethnic tribes. Though they are very beautiful, I have always thought there was a lack of sensuality in them, a certain distance between the photographer and his subject. It is probably due to the fact that he was British and born at a time when Britain was still a colonial empire. Every photographer always gives away something of what he is and where he comes from in the images he produces. This is something I find really interesting.” PHOTO: Niger River, Mali. 1988. © #HarryGruyaert/#MagnumPhotos
