Three columns standing near the remains of the Theatre of Marcellus. This once lively theatre, commissioned by no other than Julius Caesar himself, eventually fell into disrepair, until finally turned into apartments. . . . . #orphanednation #italy #tuscany #italian #ig_italia #nature #bbctravel #cctv #passionpassport #photojournalism #italiano #offthebeatenpath #rome #worldcaptures #instatravel #lonelyplanet #yourshotphotographer #travelblogger #ig_italy #backpacking #lifewelltravelled #instapassport #traveltheworld #natgeo #travelpics #wanderlust #roma #travelphotography #backpacker #旅行 (at Rome, Italy)

Photographing women is a difficult task for a male photographer traveling in more conservative countries. I can either try and sneakily take a candid or ask directly. Not wanting to disrespect anyone, I usually choose the latter option. I am often refused however, the reason being that they are Muslim or have overprotective husbands. Despite this, I continue to ask, the worst thing they can say is no.
In Rawanduz I again approached a group of women sitting in the shade. The elderly women quickly said no, saying that they were Muslim. I nearby woman called me over and allowed me to photograph her. She then led me to her family graveyard, plucked a flower and laid against the gravestone. I can only assume that the grave is that of her husband, this possibly a reason as to why she agreed to be photographed. Her tenderness and hospitality humbled me. I thanked her repeatedly for her openness. Before I left she handed me the flower and said goodbye. Seeing her was definitely a touching and moving experience, which shows a country still in the process of healing. . . . . #orphanednation #kurdistan #kurdish #kurd #iraq #nature #bbctravel #cctv #passionpassport #photojournalism #journalist #offthebeatenpath #traveldiary #worldcaptures #instatravel #lonelyplanet #yourshotphotographer #travelblogger #adventure #backpacking #lifewelltravelled #instapassport #traveltheworld #natgeo #travelpics #wanderlust #inspirationcultmag #travelphotography #backpacker #旅行 (at Rawandiz)

The Getty Images Instagram Grant, run in collaboration with Instagram, supports visual artists using Instagram to tell important stories about communities underrepresented by mainstream media.
2015 grant recipient Dmitry Markov (@dcim.ru), resides in Pskov, Russia, and volunteers for multiple children’s charities. He received a grant for his Instagram portfolio that documents social issues close to his heart and features powerful portraits of the people he encounters everyday in places like railway stations and street markets.
“I started an Instagram account, using only my phone to document what I see not only in the charities I volunteer with, but in my everyday life in Pskov. Instagram has enabled me to share my photographs instantly, exposing under-told stories and exposing situations others, including city administrations, often turn a blind eye to.” [email protected]
The Getty Images Instagram Grant is accepting applications until April 12. All entrants must complete the online application at gtty.im/grants to be considered, and this year we’re encouraging visual artists to submit Instagram portfolios of a range of mediums including digital art, photography and video footage.

Ismail Ferdous, a Bangladeshi documentary photographer using #Instagram to cover social humanitarian issues, received a grant in 2015 for his project “After Rana Plaza.”
“This project came from a very personal place, as I live among those affected by the Rana Plaza factory collapse in Bangladesh’s garment industry. Seeing the workers every day, coming and going, is a constant reminder of the collapse and its effects still linger more than two years later.” -@ismailferdous
: Rahela Begum lost her son at the 2013 Rana Plaza garment factory collapse: "Whenever I go in front of Rana Plaza, I feel like my son will come back suddenly. My elder son told me to change our house but I denied him. I told him this house is attached with my son’s memories and I will not leave this place at any cost."
