Scavengers

The food scraps were once fought over by animals during the day. Now, even the vultures and hungry dogs aren't interested in the smoking debris. It's the last hope for other scavengers, men who scavenge the still burning embers in search of pieces of metal and glass that have survived the fire

About Artist

João Coelho

Human condition has always fascinated me and its study has been a main driver in my work. More than an aesthetic purpose, I intend my photography to arouse feelings, emotions, and convey messages, by telling stories that depict suffering or joy, despair or mutual help, strength or disappointment, or simply resilience in the face of adversity and uncertainty about the future
