Zara is joined by Sacred Footsteps' writers and photographers Ali and Omar Rais, and Chirag Wakaskar, a photographer based in Mumbai, India and creator of the @everydaymumbai project on Instagram.
Zirrar presents an analysis of modern travel photography using the work of Edward Said and Orientalism. He demonstrates how Orientalist tropes portraying 'natives' are still being used in travel photography today, including in the work of well-known photographers, and endorsed by publications such as National Geographic.
In episode seven, Zara and Yasmine talk to Ali and Zain Haider about the legacy of Edward Said and look at modern day travel photography through the lens of Orientalism. They discuss the ways in which ‘othering’ still takes place, and how well regarded photographers, intuitions and publications are still promoting that narrative. They also examine questions of identity and consent; and ‘self-Orientalisation’ among poc photographers and communities.
