The Shortlist of the Alfred Fried Photography Award 2018
Ángeles
Many people can look at little Ángeles' life from a negative or prejudiced place because she was born to a family with physically disabled parents and everyday must overcome an unfavoUrable social and economic environment. As well as being invisible to the Social Services. However, immersing yourself in the world of this girl means discovering that the strength, the bonds of love and the perseverance of this family have made Ángeles a very special little girl, full of light, and a carrier of very deep wisdom about justice and respect for differences. The relationship she has forged with her parents is based mainly on a bond of great admiration, affection and cooperation that overcomes the labels of a diagnosis and the marginalization.
