商品簡介
Through the lenses of donated cameras, this inspiring collection of photographs serves as a testimonial to the lives of people society often overlooks: the working class. They are everywhere - the low-wage workers who make our clothes, look after our children, and open our doors. They are the millions of people who form the fabric of our society - but theirs is a world rarely seen.
In unseenamerica, a program created by Esther Cohen, thousands of workers were given cameras and lessons in photography, and then asked to document their lives. Through this collection of black-and-white images - sometimes poignant, sometimes celebratory, and always honest - the workers gave voice to their lives.
From a worker who photographed a horse and buggy because she says she feels like the horse, to a well-known Chinese architect turned trucker whose photograph of a bridge represents his path from that life to this one, the moving stories and images in unseenamerica give an authentic - and much-needed - look into the lives of working people.
