Most people are always afraid of seeing some of the gory images after an attack.If you strictly follow the ethical considerations of professional journalism then it is right to publish those kind of photos.
But photojournalism is all about getting good pictures that make someone read your story. This has prompted most photojournalists to strive to get the most incredible ,unique and even controversial photos.
This is exactly what a renown photojournalist Kabir Dhanji is doing.Kenyan born photojournalist Kabir Dhanji, who has worked for some of the biggest international media houses, has decided to sell the bloody pictures for as much as Sh50,000 per picture online through Getty Images.
Dhanji has worked across Africa, Australia and the larger European Press Photo Agency.
According to the caption on the images credit should be given to Dhanji, AFP and Getty Images.
The photojournalist’s works have appeared in The New York Times, Time, The Guardian, The Atlantic, The Times, Le Monde, the Wall Street Journal, The Australian, and the Washington Post amongst other publications.
His bravery and overstepping on the rules of professional Journalism is not being brought on the limelight for the first time.
During the Westgate attack his influence was conspicuous. He did a piece of Journalist work considering the attack , known as “Voices of Westgate.” This helped him gain mileage for his bravery act of journalism with eNCA.
