As a professional photographer, I have often taken photographs of that diverse group of people we call refugees. These are photographs that will influence the shape of public opinion, because most of us only know about refugees from the media.
The refugees have no influence over how or in which context the photographer’s images represent them in the media.That is why I – in collaboration with the Danish Red Cross Asylum Department – decided to give 100 disposable cameras to refugees in centers across Denmark. I wanted to let them represent themselves with images that would shape our opinion about them.
