Ivory Coast - child face at a hut in nowhere
Michael Lieder, Germany
Ivory Coast - child face at a hut in nowhere
DESCRIPTION
The picture was taken on a documentary trip to the Ivory Coast, we have visited together with employees of an organization (kettenmenschen.de) a self-proclaimed healer and prophet in his prayer center near Bouaké. There we experienced indescribable things, people who spend their lives chained to trees and locked away because they have psychological problems. They are healed there only with prayers without medical support. The picture with the curious children's eyes was taken outside the prayer center during a debriefing in a hut, it immediately showed me the potential of the situation and captured that children are simply curious, no matter where in this world.
AUTHOR
I discovered my love for photography at a very early age, and I am always fascinated by the everyday occurrences in our daily lives.
My name is Michael Lieder, I was born in 1960, and I love to travel. Furthermore, I have a lot of fun photographing what I see and thus keep a permanent memory of the experience. In my real job I am an IT'ler with passion and take care in a large hospital together with my teams around the correct and efficient use of IT systems and the associated IT service.
