Italian Photographer Apologizes After Being Slammed for Insensitive Images Showing the Face of Hungry India
The pictures, showing impoverished Indians, are from Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh and are part of Mamo’s ‘Dreaming Food’ series.
Facing a volley of criticism after his staged photos showing villagers in India covering their eyes next to tables full of fake food were published on the Instagram page of the World Press Photo Foundation, the photographer behind those viral images, Alessio Mamo, has issued an apology.
