Singaporean Edwin Koo is an award-winning documentary photographer whose somber, visually captivating photography tells the stories of communities living in the margins, clinging to the edges of society. Through incredible black and white imagery, Koo captures the quotidian existence of Dalit women journalists in India, Tibetan exiles in Nepal and refugees in Pakistan's Swat Valley.
I was just introduced to Edwin Koo's work in his recent interview with The Diplomat. Koo earnestly speaks about his decision to switch from being a news journalist to an independent documentary photographer and how his focus evolved. He will also be leading his second annual photography masterclass, Kathmandu INSIDE:OUT, this December. I have to say, I'm tempted to sign myself up!
Check out Koo's portfolio here as well as his blog to view more of his stunning work...
