June 25, 2011: Gwenn Dubourthoumieu and Alex Masi, along with communications strategists from GVA Studio and the Bhopal Medical Appeal, have been selected as the recipients of this year’s Getty Images Grants for Good.
The two teams, made up of a photographer and communications professional, will receive US$15,000 to cover the costs of developing compelling new imagery to strengthen the communications of a non-profit organisation they have chosen to support. Now in its third year, the 2011 Getty Images Grants for Good program received more than 100 submissions from photographers and agencies in 16 countries.
“Raped Lives” is the project that Gwenn Dubourthoumieu and GVA Studio will pursue to create imagery for a sensitisation campaign organised by the nonprofit association Des Femmes pour la Promotion et le Døƒ ©veloppement Endogøƒ ¨ne (AFPDE).

“Open Wounds – Bhopal 1984 – 2011” is the project proposed by Alex Masi and Colin Toogood, media director of the Bhopal Medical Appeal, to improve the lives of people, including a new generation of children affected by the deadly legacy of a disastrous chemical explosion.
