TITLE: Hope

I captured this image of a little girl on the offshores of the Indian ocean at Zanzibar in October 2019. After meeting her I came to know she has been hunting octopus on the Indian Ocean’s African coast to sustain her living every day by selling them fresh to local buyers, and now it has become her only means of occupation. Likewise , many girls there despite of going to school are the breadwinners of the family.

Hi….!!!

I am Geetika Singh, A Wildlife and Humanitarian photographer associated with documentation and journalism. I was born and brought up in the Nothern plains of India and am currently settled in Kenya, Africa.
Telling stories of people working in unique, challenging environments and those who live in a close bond with nature is a key element of my photography.

I believe photography makes a huge difference in two ways: It can expose environmental problems as nothing can else, and it can help get people to care. Through my photojournalism and stories associated with humanitarianism, I want to reflect on the social and cultural issues, society goes through.

As a humanitarian photographer, my photographic portfolio spans the four corners of the globe and my favorite part of my photography is getting to meet people from different cultures. While some places or landmarks may be famous or beautiful, I think the people are what make a place interesting. So being able to capture people in their environment and show what life is like in these places is a big part of what I project about in my photography.
