Shehzad Noorani- Daughters of Darkness

SHEHZAD NOORANI
Photography is a way to document peoples stories through a single frame. Shehzad Noorani uses his talent in photojournalism to bring the stories of the children of prostitutes to center stage. Child prostitution has been a taboo subject for too long. In the world’s quest to create a utopia, the hardships of reality are ignored and the people who need our help are cast into the shadows. In these shadows, girls as young as 14 are thrown to the streets with prostitution as they’re only means of income. Women are subjecting themselves to alcohol, drugs, and diseases just to make ends meet. Shehzad Noorani has finally exposed these playthings of the ignorant to an audience previously content with the time-old cliché “ignorance is bliss”. Now with open eyes, will you choose to gawk at the subject or take action? If you chose the latter, begin to do so through Captive Daughters.
