Portraits: Photographic Record of Police Violence G20

Gabrielle Motola | 03.04.2009 10:58 | G20 London Summit | Social Struggles | South Coast | World

I am a portrait photographer and a concerned citizen.
I was shocked to watch and hear about the brutality unleashed by police on protesters and I want to do something about it. I would very much like to make a photographic record of the physical effects of this violence with anyone willing to sit for me.

The intention behind this project is focused on making an emotional record of the physical violence police inflicted on citizens at the G20 protests rather than a legal one, but if you wish to and think you can use the photographs for legal purposes you are welcome to. This is of the utmost importance in terms of time and must be done as soon as possible. It will be as simple as you coming to my studio in Clapton E5 over the weekend and next week. It will not take up much of your time, these are not for commercial use and there is no charge to have your photograph taken. I will provide you with a digital copy for your own use. Please email me at  gaby@gabriellemotola.com to organise a time for you to come.
