Congratulations to Ismail Ferdous (@ismailferdous), a featured recipient of the inaugural Getty Images Instagram Grant. The grant enables him to continue @afterranaplaza, a project about the aftermath of the 2013 garment factory collapse in Bangladesh.
From judge David Guttenfelder (@dguttenfelder): “Ismail not only posts beautiful and thoughtful photography and portraiture, but he also attaches audio recordings and detailed translation to every posted image. No other entrant used Instagram in such an innovative, multi-layered way, literally giving voice to otherwise-forgotten survivors of this tragedy.”
