Lisa Kristine

Lisa Kristine is a photographer known for photographing indigenous people worldwide. However, I know her for her most recent work document modern day slavery. She teamed up with an organization called Free the Slaves to document the faces of modern day slavery. She photographed slaves in India, Nepal and Ghana working in mines, on fishing boats, in brick kilns, or as stone carriers and fabric makers. Those with hands in red and blue and purple have had their hands dyed from dying silk. She also did some individual portraits of either slaves or recently freed slaves holding candles to “shine a light on slavery”. I really like her work, the images are beautiful and I think that her subject matter is really important and something that needs to be photographed.
