Voices from our community

We were really impressed by the quality of photos and video we received for the DEC, as were our member charities. Thank you Fairpicture team! We knew we were in safe hands having worked with you before, but it was great to see everything go so smoothly and sensitively on the day.

As an international aid organization, it is important for CARE to document and visualize our work in 100 countries worldwide. Fairpicture enables CARE to show its humanitarian work as seen through the eyes of a local professional. The extensive network of female photographers is another plus because women and girls are core to the mission of CARE's global work.

Care

Fairpicture is an organisation that allows me, as a visual creator, to fulfil my mission of serving communities around the world in general and those in my country in particular.

Curiosity and an openness to particular conditions and projects, together with a visual language that is likewise outstanding and consistent in our media presentation - this is what characterizes our cooperation with Fairpicture and the local visual creators. Especially these aspects and the collaboration with local - and many female – content creators with their expertise and skills makes it so valuable for us.

Although I love to visit our fantastic water projects in the Global South, it makes so much more sense to employ creative people within those countries to support our storytelling while we make a contribution to the local economy and avoid unnecessary flights and CO2 emissions.
