The Romanian photographer, Dana Popa, works in the documentary tradition that creates work that is faithful to reality. She says.
I started photography because of Josef Koudelka’s work. His sensitivity and proximity to the subject still motivates me. I just want to tell stories, not only stories that interest me, but things that are not seen or talked about.
Her latest project is entitled not, Natasha, which she talks about to Jim Colberg here. It is an informative interview.
Dana Popa, Maria, from not, natasha
The Republic of Moldova is the poorest nation in Europe. Every year, thousands of young girls and women ages 12 to 40 leave the country looking for a better life. An overwhelming majority of these women, especially the younger ones, become sex slaves. Sex trafficking is the most profitable illegal business.
