Aftershock


Photographs from the Asian Tsunami to the Lebanon conflict 2005 -2006.



“Aftershock” is a photographic record of six assignments - in the aftermath of the Boxing Day Tsunami, in Sudan, Kashmir, Java, Somalia and Lebanon. But the book is more than just a record of ShelterBox's work. It also records many other sights witnessed while on deployment for the charity: from women mine-clearance teams in Sudan to images of Israeli and Hezbollah propaganda methods from the 2006 Lebanon conflict. Starting with a poignant cover image of an eight-year-old Sri Lankan girl orphaned by the 2004 tsunami, Aftershock concludes with a shot of young children watching aid from ShelterBox being delivered to bomb-shattered houses in southern Lebanon. Featuring images taken in the aftermath of six different disasters, this book gives a hint of what it's like being in the front-line of disaster relief. Imagine if you can being behind the camera at the foot of an erupting volcano in Java, in a minefield in Sudan, delivering aid by helicopter or mule train in Kashmir or being escorted by armed militia in Somalia. That's how it was when these pictures were being taken. As ShelterBox's founder and general manager Tom Henderson said: "Humanitarian work in the front line is not glamorous! It requires hard and unremitting effort both physically and mentally. It takes a special kind of person to carry it out and it takes a very special skill to document it with such ability."
