There were over 1500 families at the evacuation centre. Plenty of them were made up mostly of children.

It was also around midnight so I had to either pump up the ISO or bounce flash off whatever. This was bounced flash off the white shirt of another volunteer.

One of the volunteers of my team. We call her "Nanay" or mother. She was the oldest volunteer there and was a part of The Philippine National Red Cross for over 4 decades

This is a panorama when we first arrived at the site. It's a school that was repurposed as an evacuation center. Each one of the 70 rooms holds as many as up to 16 families.

Well, that's the last for now. All comments welcome.

strongest ones imo.
Those keep nice emotions, less generic than the rest.
The pano might be a bit too noisy?

>>548387
This one has a nice lighting, I like it, makes him creepier than he is I guess

>>548396
that one sucks, wtf.

Hey /p/, I just got back an hour ago (it's 5:00 PM in my country) from a High School in Lilburn, Georgia in The United States. It was one of the worst hit places in the country by the storm "Whatthefuckrain" with the water level rising to up to 12 feet last Monday.

Very good documentary project. Even the weakest photos help lend perspective to the entire project.

These are good portraits and may stand alone as visually appealing single photos, but by themselves don't tell the story:
>>548384
>>548385
>>548387
>>548389

These work better at telling the story, even the photos that may not hold immediate visual appeal to some viewers:
>>548380
>>548382
>>548391
>>548392
>>548395

These two, while not particularly appealing or dramatic in impact, help give necessary scale to the visual narrative. As part of the whole, they work:
>>548396
>>548398

But I'm betting you already knew this. It's really very good work. You should find an outlet somewhere online to publish these in context of a brief story about your experience there. Maybe an aid relief organization can use them.

these are just great! hope people will be fine!

>>548380

firstly this is a real nicely shot project, only vauge criticism i could give would be in some of the "group" shots there seems to be a lack of a focal point of the image, but still great supporting images to the key.

secondly, ive been personally wanting to do something similar for a while (volunteering plus some photo stuff on the side) how the hell did you get into it? as ive been pinging emails and letters around and so far to no avail, if youve got any tips would be very much appreciated/

fuckan retards let theyre shit get all wet haha

If you're trying to emulate the look of film in your photographs why not just shoot film?

is it just me, or does this shit belong in /b/

Thanks everyone for the comments!

>>548481
I also had a film camera but didn't have any fast film with me. :(

My old high school was calling for volunteers to help organize and pack donations. After that, a small group was dispatched to the nearest Red Cross branch to bring the donations over. I went along and found myself signing up for one of the relief missions. It's a good idea to sign up for your local Red Cross or similar relief foundation early and take some of their First Aid classes or seminars rather than wait for a disaster, that way, you'd be prepared.

>>548422
I already sent my photos to the Red Cross chapter, I actually gave them one of my SD cards right before we left. It had photos of the preparation and they needed propaganda material asap to get more people to donate.

>>548449
For now, it's a bit easy because there's a shortage in manpower when it comes to relief efforts. As long as you're fit, you can get in and volunteer. They also won't mind if you bring a camera with you.

For a documentary, I think you did ok. You could've used something wider (18mm?). I think these photos would've been better if each of them could stand on their own. If I were to view >548384, for example, I would think it was just a generic portrait.

>>548956
I has no wider lens that 28mm for my Nikons. :( but thanks for the comments. I'll be signing up again at Red Cross tomorrow.
