of the world that only a few even journalists good enough to fly to the right place at the right side and make the snap that really makes a difference taking such shots out of thousands is exactly what the world press photo competition is all about but what's it like to be called the best on the planet and what does it take to nail spotlight we need their reigning world best photo point jodi to be for. the photo of an afghan girl disfigured by taliban extremists a single terrorist and shocking. shocking because one cannot loop in such atrocious dangerous carnally inspiring because the guys unveil the girls. even after suffering brutality johnny bieber's not new to the w.p.a. competition she wanted eight times already. the jury describes the picture of b.b.

i sure as one of those few. immediately read now is a triumph in for the journalism. julian thank you very much for coming thanks for having me it's a pleasure for me having me on the show well first of all i really think that when somebody told you the e.u. won the world press photo which you report you say you're joking i can't believe this. true why couldn't you but you're not going to win well you know as you said in your all previously that i agree and eight will place awards before they have in a million years would i ever have thought i would have won the overall prize and at the same time because of all the controversy that was surrounding the photograph i thought that the jury would be they would it would be too much of a risk to give it the first prize he uses you mention the control receive as far as

i remember this picture this very picture appeared on the front page of time magazine and the headline read what happens if we leave afghanistan that right there so actually your picture was used in a propaganda campaign to sell the the occupation. that you see this is what's very interesting and south african coming from johannes food if you show there have a tree people in south africa they didn't even notice the headline because that's not our politics they saw i share and the controversy came from very many different places and therefore everyone responded in very different ways depending on the politics depending on the country they came from depending on a whole lot of different variables so it's in the fit me in there to a in a in actual fact it was a catalyst and that it spread through the blogosphere world it was on t.v.

it was everywhere and actually it was furthering and speaking about violence against women and more and more people were seeing this before we start talking about i share a story in the pictures of a couple of words about the competition first of all what was your favorite picture among others among your competitors can you name something else. because i quite like the. one photograph i think it's in bangladesh of ok look sac is such a photograph from the cinema it's a father and he son walking through the water and i like that but i also thought it was very interesting for me more then then appreciating the photography so much as it was interesting to see the chilean the chilean miners photographed and the ground by himself there were actually so it speaks a lot about citizen journalism. we're speaking about citizen jews speaking about

awarding prizes well it's not the first time when i ask this question to myself when i see the winners a work of the works willing workers photo is the prize awarded to the pits chair to the photographic were lured to journalism to the story behind the picture and i have seen a journey in a few years back and really firstly it's about it's a photographic competition is the quality of the picture the composition got what they got it's the initial thing it's totally around the photograph and then of course the journalistic value after the fact is as important but really it's a photographic competition well let's take a closer look at this year's winners of the world press photo contest spotlights in their demeanor there were reports from an exhibition in moscow. both wigs and old

cleaners hugh and villains the bulls and in europe of two thousand and ten is year round these pictures when put together the works which won the world press for the contest here the view was mind like a tsunami of human emotions the first to feel the force of the tsunami were the contours jury to delve through a record pool of more than a hundred thousand do you think should we choose two hundred images. each best for five last year's events fifty six photographers from twenty three countries won one of the industry's most prestigious prizes in an age where everyone carries a camera and gets a lot the shots the professional still have an age like adi people who have dedicated their lives to photo journalism and have a great experience but that's a completely different vision the quality of pictures they take is so much higher citizen journalism will never replace professional journalism but the tooth can

quite exist perfectly well. the world press photo contest is ready to celebrate the coexistence a special mention went to nonprofessionals such as the chilean miners photographed themselves trapped for sixty nine days on the ground the view was of the moscow exhibition welcomed by portrait of julian our son ch which to result could be one of the landmark images for two thousand and ten but it doesn't matter what we think of julian assange is just that we can because did not exist before and it does now and it has given a new perspective to reality and one morsels of getting information not only throughout its fifty four year history the world press photo contest was mostly about revolutions violent uprisings and lemaitre disasters but there are always images ones i can reach the pawn next to the brutal pictures which make most of the

daily news images of beauty and tranquillity of nature look exceptionally fridge. so you don't consider yourself to be a journalist or a campaigner whatever your age or you're just a photographer for me i feel as a photographer. can move through in the documentary world the magazine world. i feel that you know my work isn't totally journalistic in a way after i also bring something of myself into the world but when i work with photographers here in television our i always try to tell them you're not just taken your journal your reporters to you do your journalistic work i do it with a pen and you do it with a camera so with you it's different so for me when i later and i share i wasn't thinking how to satisfy a time magazine i was totally thinking of the creative process and working with i

should. to create that photograph but i wasn't thinking harm i'm going to tell ok when you took that picture you thought it would make a beautiful picture or you wanted to do to express yourself and your position your you attitude towards what i think you know i think this photograph has a number that says a number of different things and you know her as a journalist that we knew in the process of creating i'm not thinking that but out saw that i sure was a very beautiful woman and i'm all set the stage where i am trying to break stereotypes in my work sack could have photographed in a more vulnerable position i could have lost because she doesn't have ears either i'm going to ask could she moves her hair away and i didn't do that and i wanted to show her in a position of power and not in a position of of being vulnerable this is who killed you're about i share how did

you get to kill a soul bit more about about how you got into the story but i went to see time magazine in new york and they gave me an assignment aaron baker he's a writer for time magazine she was doing a story on about eighteen different woman so she actually found out later you got the names the chianti and woman for afghan women shelter was looking after the time and that's how i met a really through aaron baker so you already knew the story that i knew the stillness little bit about the story it's horrible i mean i mean i mean what are believes it's just unbelievable well actually comes from the southern provinces of afghanistan and. it's i think it was twelve or fourteen economy but the detail she was given away to cover a dispute that happened with the family and she was really abused quite badly

within her in-laws home and so she decided to run away and. she ran to her neighbors thinking she would seek refuge in but they handed her into the police and in afghanistan basically if you are a woman and you ran away from your husband you go to jail or that she received amnesty and her father came to collect turned to combat so or to be raised has been due to that has to go has been there and there was a court which happened to be in that area it was a taliban court. and they say that as punishment to teach other women in the village not to run away from their husbands to cattle for nose and ears and they held it down decisions it was the tribal accords in order to secure our preserve village home decision. to cut off her nose in and they lifted to die and then the military the u.s.

military found the. world looked after her and intricate to women for afghan women. who are still looking after her in new york now don't they're going to go and she she came to america when she was a good over the she was what will you told us about how you were taking this picture was it difficult to convince this year leaves you to pose for a for a magazine no no you see i think everyone tries to may i share and the organization a victim to this and i she was actually waiting to get a visa to go to america i wasn't the first photographer if it's a photograph or all journalist to write about her and i think that i don't know for sure but i think women for afghan women and i sure made the decision that the more publicity they got around her and what happened to her perhaps the media would help

to get the same as it was who owned decision to to to. make it public to me that to make him face public and then kid to make a statement title you can't force anyone into doing something this is in a shelter it's a very structured structured and protected place so i couldn't just walk in and say oxys you know can i photograph you with a definitely doesn't work that way with the session or was it just a couple of structure it's not mara that after three hours it was like a professional the photograph of such a lover the model. with the likes of everything no no no no this is a hard very basic how you stand the means and then reflect sort of like i love the studious schlanger that's in the shelter in a very basic room with in the shelter. jodi bieber the winner of the world press photo hans in the spotlight would be back we'll continue this interview to take

a short break so stay with us we'll get to. please. let's. just say.

welcome back to spotlight i maldonado i'm just a reminder my guest on the show today is jodi bieber the winner world press photo cartoonist judy we talk about our shelley girl you photographed in afghanistan and here we see this award winning picture once again was due any any investigation

other than this tribal court decision to take her killer actually into the case so yes i mean up and you know home i think pressure you know everyone wrote about us or knew about it all made a statement i mean the taliban even made a statement to say they don't advocate something like this and now the father in law has been arrested thing is a quote case opened and they are looking for a husband but. the husband on the ground is frozen in the recall this is what they're saying do you think do you think the court will. will be able to to to to to make an unbiased decision. well it's not recalled from you say because i mean you know i'm not an expert in judicial system how did the in the situation change change or asia you you talked to her you know her well did she become a new kind of

a person of dog that you have started as one major posttraumatic stress the strain she still suffers perfectly she couldn't have a parade and she is in your. she lives in queens women for afghan women look after her that she was meant to have the operation and the surgeon say they don't want to operate on her because she's still emotionally not really for it but we do have new pictures here wolf this picture where it isn't that after the surgery this is a press they took no. ocean she just where is it her so so so so so this is also this is something you see you can hear you can see there so ensure asked to have an operation to make it real i mean to to make a great arena ricing and so she just weirdest thing to just give it just a very i think they're just waiting for her to sack illogically recover to give the

stronger before they can operate. but it wasn't terrible decision to go to the united states or a great stay there were people to ask you how to take her out of the nation was for rent and later she was really anxious to go to america but really the main reason why she wants him you know so i mean can you imagine what it must feel like. what awaits in the united states she she she should learn english language or in you know what she will do or at the moment she's making jewelry and all i know today because and in very close screening ation with the organization is that she makes jewelry she's got a very small. right now she sees an in one once a week. she knows how to use the internet she serves afghan websites. and that's really what she does for now but i'm sure with english and when she gets emotionally stronger you know then things could open up for her. i

know that you you mentioned you should go to the so-called big jewelry year and she been sold a couple of things i know some bracelets and necklaces do you think she can make a living well i don't know who knew her and she grown ups but i think lack for i should you know i think they're the opportunity for her in afghanistan they wasn't she was are they going to stay in a shelter or should there's no way she could ever go home. do you think that she may be able to return home not to have really gotten a job. but i mean if she were to painting watch it does i mean perhaps she can go back to couple and work place who so do you think she will want to go back on their do their statistical to say i mean i really don't know you know no one has access to i share i have very close access to the the organization that looks after her

but i don't get on the phone and have a conversation with you know they're still trying to protect them from the media as you said at the mediation front of the foundation no no i did that will ensure that no they say that but us really try wherever i go see advocates and ask people to donate funds to the b.b. i sure wouldn't want to do it while really you know it's very expensive living in new york and it's not that she's going to go shopping with their nanny in some way you know she needs to be educated she needs caregivers and it's a very expensive process so that fund their hundred percent of the money put into their will go to baby i shit and really it will go to living in york. what i have done is i've created a limited edition of prints of people. that i'm hoping museums or that it's very

limited will collect and all of those funds will go to the people. selling so both a science fiction or. how common in general if you know if you can give an answer to that when are such things that happened it happened. fleischer i mean i mean is it is it close like normal in the radical islamists like villages and communities are going to do such things to to what i like to think of this more. domestic violence more than looking at it from the perspective of islam i don't connect it to i don't connect that would you call it an exception or things like that happen i would say things that there happened but i don't know how often to their extremity but you do for example when i was in kabul i went to the self immolation hospital where because women are suffering crn

match within their homes they has been zones they try and burn themselves poor petrol on themselves and their track and it's sad in that way so there's definitely violence against women. we started talking about this story you said you see it all started when time magazine told you to go to kabul and take eighteen eighteen girls are typically eighteen babysit so so you did all of them only intervene you met all of the we did eighteen stories eighteen portraits one of the success stories were they happy happy ends happy stories and i'm silly a photograph that oprah winfrey of afghanistan after craft a woman who's a politician and wants to become the first sports minister to a documentary filmmaker. years so i photographed a variety of different women you know not only in a vulnerable situation with so are

a lot of happy women and while they are women i think they come from more educated better odds they're you know are having a very different life now i have mainly in couple of girls here but it was in the villages it's still now with a layer it's largely more like gracious free to do whatever your parents or your husband tells you to do well i would imagine it's similar to that but i'm not saying that every household sure israelis fire leaves you mentioned like twelve or fourteen she was with when she was given i. will give you she has been so this is this is the age where when the girls are usually you know listen to us to settle their. criminal disappearance and usually they go. very good. fifteen sixteen thinking if you don't do you will get ok listen to. your previous sort of pictures before you did they have again serious was about the slums in

south africa is not true it's about so with young men so where do you do that do you consider yourself like a social photographer a social campaign or it also was just an assignment which you know so return really came about the project on the township i don't call it a slum because i don't see it as a slum. well this is what they call it and. contrary but it was a personal project and it became a book and it's really about you know i think that sometimes the media lumps it in countries in certain ways and before the soccer world cup in twenty tame a lot of bad media was leaving south africa and it was really about crime it was around eight it was around poverty and now. and was just showing the normality that also exists within our country and so waiter in a way was to break down the stereotype to show just the normality there can happen

in south africa as i'm sure sometimes russia is showing in a certain wasn't sure so so so there is a social good to what you do. you know just not just another photographer with with a mobile that's legal it was really about breaking into your ear. and it was to try and break down their fear that people have a party and. what are you working on now. i have been in i think six countries in one month only yeah. mainly for world prints but just before i was in moscow i was in london photographing a portrait series in an area in east london called shorty. and at eels a lot in fantasy. well instead this is something hard to wear to know exactly what they're really not in the know it's changed

a fine that's very changing over and over and you're you're exhibiting here in moscow i think i think it's doomed to be a success because because the world appropriate proper in this country. really thank you thank you very much for being with us and just start just a reminder that my guest on the show today was good meet leave it there with our the world press photo that's it for now from all of us if you want to have yourself start like we have someone in mind who you think i should have been a star and just drop me a large caliber in there and party t.v. are you for let's give the show interactive we'll be back with your comments on what's going on in and outside russia and so many stay on our team when you take a look you.
