Breaking Into Documentary Photography
How two brothers visited the world’s poorest countries and crowd-funded their debut photo book.
Dennis (22) and Patrick Weinert (20) are journalists, filmmakers and photographers from Germany with a background in advertising. After deciding to crowdfund and self-publish their first documentary photography book called “A World in Distress”, they now focus full-time on telling visual stories from around the globe that deal with poverty, human rights, conflict and culture. Their work has been featured on German national television and radio and appeared in numerous print and web publications.
“A World in Distress“ is a documentary photography and charity project that deals with the issue of poverty in a global context.
With exemplary anecdotes and photo essays from Burkina Faso, Nepal and Haiti Weinert brothers want to show the various facets of extreme poverty and shed light on the practical implications of the development aid system and advancing globalization.
The goal of their project is to raise awareness of the circumstances that inhibit progress and development in the poorest countries in the world, by using a crowdfunding campaign to finance the distribution of our photo book and to collect donations for local and sustainable aid organizations.
Weinert’s story is one we are honored to promote at PhotographyBlogger, we hope you take the time to read their story and help support their worthy cause.
