Photographer Riccardo Gangale.

(Mother holds her two daughters after tear gas was released by police in the Kibera slum in Nairobi) 
The reason that I chose this photographer is, because he isnt just a photograopher who takes pictures of pretty girls in pretty clothes. Gangale has made beautifully tragic photos from all over Africa. his most recent work covers the starvation, drought, and poverty in Chad. He has also photgraphed Bono in one of his visits and has captured images form the war in the Republic of Congo. His photos have been published in such places as The New York Times, Time Magazine, The Times, Liberation, and Le Monde.
