To spend time on a story is important.
Friday, April 8th, 2011

A short article summary: Kontinent had 4 nominated Photographers in Swedish Picture of the year 2011. The magazine Journalisten wanted to know how this was possible for a small agency as Kontinent.

- We are specialized in Photo journalism so it would be rather strange if we didn´t win awards in this kind of competitions. Our work stands out because we make them with heart and we, when it´s possible, spend a lot of time on our stories, says Magnus Laupa.

Farah, 3, victim of forbidden warfare.

Scans from The Sunday Times Magazine, Spectrum 30/8 2009.

“She survived a bomb blast, but her hands, face and stomach were severely burnt after a white phosphorus shell destroyed her home in al-Atatra in the northern part of Gaza during the bombardment by Israeli forces earlier this year. The white phosphorus is widely used to produce a ´smokescreen´to mask troop movements, white phosphorus is also controversially used in bombs. After landing on the skin it burns through muscle and bone and goes on burning until starved of oxygen. The Israeli military initially denied using it during its assault on Gaza but Amnesty International reported finding ´indisputable evidence´of its use in densely populated residential areas.” (Parts from the text in The Sunday Times Spectrum 30/8 2009.)
