The Women Project


The Women Project by J.R.
This French photographer, who is hiding his full name in case of prosecution, is taking portraits of women in various poverty-stricken and war-torn parts of the world (parts of Africa and Brazil so far, with Cambodia, India and Laos on the way). While the large scale photos are going on exhibition in Europe, the more interesting thing is that he is also pasting huge copies of them around the communities of the models, including some that are meant to be seen by satellite. Apparently the photos are even printed on water resistant materials and help stop erosion as well.
