About
This is a collection of photojournalist Willem Diepraam's classic documentation of the devastation of the village of Sahel, and of its inhabitants.
Willem Diepraam (1944- ) was born in Amsterdam and first became interested in the photographic medium when he realized the success with which photo reportage could transport and imprint messages of social significance to vast audiences. Diepraam began his career in the 1960s as a self-taught photojournalist working for a Dutch newspaper, Vrij Nederland. Since then he has published several books of his own work including, Dutch Caribbean (1975), Sahel (1982), Lima (1991), and Foto’s and Photographs (2000). Over the years Diepraam has played multiple roles in the medium, as an avid collector of photographs, curator of exhibitions (of both his own work and others ), and he has published books of other photographers’ works as well.
