Roy Toft

So back story, I asked my friend to pick a country that no one new about. They chose Botswana. This is where I came across this young photographer.
Toft is a natural wildlife photographer. He is known for capturing the animals spirit. You might know him from national geographic. He also funded International League of Conservation Photography. 
He enjoys teaching one on one with photographers and taking his own, capturing wildlife around the world. 
You can check out some more of his works as well as his foundation here.

Esther Havens

This photographer I came across, is a person who I admire her work, for she her working in various countries around the world. I like her for her work in third world countries, capturing the stories of those who reside within.
Through her travels, she came down to earth and decided that she wanted to do something through her work and her name to help those in the third world. She created a organization called charity water, in which she asked friends and family to donate to a water well fund for those in those countries. With her succession, she was able to document the result of her giving back.

This week I came across this award winning photojournalist from Stockholm. I came across her photo series which reveals where Syrian children have been sleeping. When taking such photos, he he traveled to the places where these children were fleeing too to try to tell the young's stories. http://darbarnensover.aftonbladet.se/chapter/english-version/
