WePhoto “The Series” Reportage Vol 5 Dear all, I am very proud to introduce the new collection “The Series”. It was not so long ago since we have launched the first eBook, including the photographic work of the 15 administrators, who at that time were cooperating in the “WePhoto” group. Since then, we have published 21 eBooks and the Special edition “Calendar 2015” and now two Calendars 2016.

Reportage La Storia. Da quando esiste la Fotografia, uno dei più importanti, se non il più importante utilizzo di questa forma di comunicazione è la documentazione di Eventi. Dallo sport alla guerra, dalle manifestazioni politiche e sindacali alla narrazione di eventi di vita comune, nelle strade, nelle città, nei villaggi, nei campi. La descrizione della vita, nelle sue varie forme. Racconto, denuncia. Reportage
Reportage History. Since there is Photography, one of the most important, if not the most important use of this form of communication is the documentation of events. From sports to war, from political events and trade to the narration of the common life events, in the streets, in cities, in villages, in the fields. The description of life in its various forms. Story, complaint. Reportage Mario Buncuga september 2016

GIULIO LICCARI Trieste Italy
Sono uno studente di medicina all’ultimo anno presso l’Università di Trieste. Amo viaggiare e ho iniziato a fotografare nel 2012 con la mia prima macchina Canon durante i miei viaggi. Come fotografo preferisco i ritratti perché penso che i volti delle persone possano raccontarci molte storie, reali o immaginate da noi, cosa che un semplice paesaggio non può fare.
I am a Medical student in my last year at the University of Trieste. I love travelling and I started taking pictures in 2012 with my first Canon while I was away. I especially like to take portraits as I believe that faces can tell us lots of stories, real or imaginary, something that a landscape could never do. 10

HARSH AGARWAL Agra, India
My Name is Harsh Agarwal. I am 31 years old. I am Freelance Tour Leader/ Escort/Guide/Photographer. Travel and Photography goes hand in hand. My passion for exploring the country and travelling to different places all over the country brought me with the zeal of becoming a tour guide. Gaining the knowledge and experience of different places, cultures and heritage became my instinct. Having grown up in a small outback community, I have a strong understanding of and respect for the area and am passionate about introducing it to visitors. I am an adventurous person who thrives on developing new trips and making environmental education interesting and accessible. I have a flair for leadership, communication and organization, and can confidently lead trips for all age groups.
Travelling to a wonderful place certainly will help an individual click beautiful snaps of the place and capture the moment for the lifetime. That is where the job of a Travel Photographer holds a significant role. He/She visits the world known tourist places and other places of historic significance, and captures the places in the form of photos, so that he can use these photos to promote the places among the tourists and other travelers across the globe. This love for the exploration got me into capturing them also. For the last 4-5 years I have been capturing the country's heritage. My pictures got into various magazines Like Indian Talent, Asian Photography Magzine etc, awarded several time online, taken by various regional tourism department (Uttar Pradesh tourism) for their promotions, being part of numerous Galleries, exhibition etc. Life has turned out amazing as a tour guide and photographer and I wish to explore as much as possible. Glimpses of the Naga Sadhus at the Maha Kumbh The Maha-Kumbh Mela is a Hindu pilgrimage held along the banks of sacred rivers at four different holy locations, once every 12 years at each site, and attract millions of devotees nationwide as well as culture enthusiasts from all over the world. These pictures taken during the Ujjain Simhastha Kumbh, held along river Shipra in Ujjain depict the famous Naga Sadhus midst the festivities. The Naga Sadhus or naked yogis, are trident-wielding renunciates who are followers of Lord Shiva. They reside in the Himalayas and come down to associate with the civilization only during the Kumbh Melas, where they take the first dip in the holy waters, according to the order within the tradition. They can be spotted easily during the fair, due to their characteristic ash-covered bodies and dreadlocks.

The wonderful landscapes and seascapes of my new country made me feel having something to stop the time forever…nature is so beautiful….So I got my first camera and immediately fell in love with this beautiful hobby. Taking pictures is just a way to stop the time and never forget it…it will never come back exactly in that same way….In the beginning I just shot landscapes, but after my first photographic tour in North Vietnam I started to shoot portraits and reportage as well. 34

ARKA DUTTA Kolkata, India
www.arkadutta.com arka.dutta@hotmail.com
I am a Mechanical Engineer by profession, living in Kolkata and an independent photographer who loves to engage in social and cultural documentary related photography. Two of my great passions in life is travel and photography. I believe that travel broadens one's view of the world and photography is my continuous lesson of living in the moment. I love to experience other cultures, meet different people from diverse communities. Through my photography I seek to document my own personal experience, and to capture the scenes and events as I see them and share them. Living in the moment and capturing it, is my way of sharing with the world how I see things; whether it be humorous, sad, serious, playful, profound or just plain. Photography helps me to express my personality and how I view this world we all live in.
Water
Perhaps the most important element of our life – water. Not it is essential for our survival biologically, but our we are dependent on it in every aspect from livelihood to emotions. Sometimes water brings us joy, sometimes sorrow and difficulty. Sometimes it is a prayer, sometimes it is a destroyer. All in all, our lives are connected to it intricately in every way. But we cannot survive without water, and should conserve it by all means. 58

TOWFIQ CHOWDHURY Dhaka, Bangladesh
towfiqchowdhury.hr@gmail.com
My name is Towfiq Chowdhury. I live in Dhaka the capital of Bangladesh. Before I took up photography I loved to observe how different photographers used their work to tell a story. So when I decided to take up photography I had a clear idea of the kind of photography I wanted to do. For me I think photography is a language to communicate with people. There is lots of injustice occurring everyday in our society many of them don’t find anyone to tell their horrible story. Whenever I get chance I visit different place and meet with people who face a daily struggle to survive. I like to talk to them and try to experience their way of life. I don't mind getting my hands dirty. I spend time with them make fun with them and try to hear their story. I always keep my camera ready when I spend time with those survivors and wait for the right moment. I called them survivor because they have very hard life. I believe photography can bring lot of positive changes in our life. Today, I count myself blessed, having become a photographer. 70

Voglio Fermare il tempo con Uno scatto Sono un viaggiatore Autodidatta in Tutto. Per Motivi Professionali ho sempre viaggiato in Tanti Luoghi e a distanza di anni mi sono Pentito di Non aver documentato quello che ho visto. Nel 2004 e’ scattato in me il Morbo della fotografia Inteso come singolo piacere di rivedere e ritrovare le Mie emozioni. Documento quello che vedo quello che provo in quel momento, la mia libera interpretazione del mondo che mi circonda. All’inizio ho cominciato con i paesaggi intorno a casa poi le persone, poi un paio d’anni fa sono stato a un corso di Streetphotography e da quel giorno non ho fatto che fare fotografia di strada. Devo Molto al Mio Amico e Maestro Francesco Pulvirenti che mi ha rivelato i segreti della Fotografia
