Wyatt Gallery
Tent Life: Haiti (Haiti, 2010)
Two months after the disastrous earthquake that struck Haiti on 12 January. 2010, Wyatt Gallery went to Port-au-Prince with five fellow artists to do volunteer work and record the consequences of the disaster. What impressed him was the resilience of the people. Seven months later he returned to photograph life in the gigantic tent camps – cities in themselves. He did portraits of the people there who, thanks to their inner strength, were able to keep going in the midst of a humanitarian crisis.
