Syrian Boy
Beqaa Valley, 2015
Whiford’s emotional image serves as a spiritual twin to the SYRIAN GIRL piece in Humanity. Depicting another child at the Syrian refugee camp in the Beqaa Valley, this photograph argues for social justice and equality through the young boy’s innocent, doleful expression. The wooden barriers that surround him further the impact of the image’s thesis, not only specifying that the boy is separated from the viewer, but also that we are separated from him.

Syrian Girl
Beqaa Valley, 2015
“When I was much younger, and training to be a stage actor, my teacher said something once that has always stuck with me. He said:
‘As actors, you are investigators of humanity.’
Whether I am making a portrait of a monk in Bhutan or of an American rock star on the side streets of Istanbul, the one absolute parallel in what I am trying to convey to the viewer is the simple humanity found in one’s eyes, body language or facial expression. That unspoken sense of: ‘Here we are – all in it together.’”- Zack Whitford
Zack Whitford’s expertise lies in capturing facial expressions and emotions as they occur, creating truly empathetic images. The gaze of the young Syrian girl who was photographed at a refugee camp in the Beqaa Valley incorporates the entire thesis of Humanity, instantly drawing the audience to her and forcing them to care for her, whether consciously or not. To view this image is to realize that Whitford’s stance is not to convey his own emotions, but to reveal to his audience that which already exists in the world of humankind and why we should care for it.

Suckling Stray
2015
Dogs are colloquially referred to as “man’s best friend”, and they’re largely demonstrative of human beings’ capacity for love and establishing family. Reminiscent of the mythos of Romulus and Remus, this image reminds us that human ingenuity would never have been possible without the generative powers of nature. Additionally, this image also conjures a sense of familial bonding, which is a sentiment that extends far beyond human conceptualization.
