Giles Duley

This is Giles Duley, before he was injured he worked as a editorial photographer for companies in the  fashion and music industry. He currently works mostly on humanitarian projects for a number of charities. Like IOM and UNHCR. Giles Duley captures the strength of the human body and the will to persevere. His photos create a sense of empathy for the victims as well as allows the views to feel a sense of connection with the subjects. 

Giles Duley was on patrol in 2011 with the 75th Calvary Regiment with the United States of America in Afghanistan when he steped on an IED (improvised explosive device). This caused Giles Duley to loss an arm and 2 legs. 

Giles images capture the raw struggles of the lives of people who are less fortunate to have the normal human functions. His images make you feel a wide range of emotions. On one hand, i feel empathy and pity but on the other, I feel a sense of motivation. A motivation and a cheerful spirit to see that the subject dont have it all. The subjects dont have what I have and yet i take it for granted. But they are making do with what they have. 

 "Although documenting challenging, and at times, horrific situations, Duley captures the strength of those who fight their adversity rather than succumb."

Here are some of his works.

Giles Duley truly is an inspiring photographer as he not just has visual elements in his photographs. But he has the most important thing photographers lack these days. He has the ability to tell a story. Each photograph he takes holds significant weight as its dedicated to a survivor. By showing their disabilities, it gives a voice to the voiceless. Helping them tell their own story.
