2007 Photoshare Development Photography Award
We recently wrapped up our 2nd Annual Photoshare Development Photography Award. The award is presented exclusively to a photography enthusiast from a developing country/emerging economy as a part of Photoshare’s effort to promote the use of photography in health communications and advance digital camera technologies worldwide. The Award recognizes photographers in developing countries who are involved in public health and development programs, interested in using photography to document issues facing their communities, and in need of a first-time or improved digital camera. The winner of this award received a brand new Canon digital camera (6 megapixel).
Within one month, Photoshare received applications from 42 photographers in 16 countries. Photographers nominated themselves by submitting an application along with sample photos. We’re always impressed by the level of commitment among all the applicants. Their belief in photography as important tool in communicating health and development is always inspiring. The decision is never easy, but the review process is a strong reminder of the need for tools and resources at the ground level.
The 2007 Development Photography Award winner is Ashok Bhurtyal of Nepal. Ashok is an enthusiastic amateur photographer and rural health worker in Nepal. During frequent trips to remote places in his country, Bhurtyal has documented the health of rural Nepali people through photographs taken with either a borrowed or rented camera. “I never lose patience and spend a lot of energy to make decisions on taking snapshots,” Bhurtyal said. As an undergraduate in public health and later with Physicians for Social Responsibility, Bhurtyal focused on understanding local people’s health needs in both socio-cultural and geographical contexts. Bhurtyal is currently working on a Masters of Public Health Course at Tribhuvan University, Institute of Medicine.
