Part 3: Everyday Africa – Behind the Photos

Seven Everyday Africa photographers tell the stories behind their photos.

Hear from Barry Christianson, Edward Echwalu, Yagazie Emezi, Tom Saater, Ricci Shryock, Ley Uwera, and Sam Vox as they describe photographs of everyday life that they made on assignment, in their community, or in their own homes.

Students should apply the visual literacy and storytelling lessons they’ve learned in the last two videos to the photographs they see here from South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Tanzania.
