grrr…. culture with … Baton Rouge… Usa… Louisiana … Black people say ‘ we matter ‘A2
…
Jonathan Bachman ….
is the New Jersey-born freelance photographer
“I had gone to bed and when I woke up and went right back to Baton Rouge,” he says. ….. Then, his father called.
“He said, ‘John, your photo is all over the Internet.’”
The photograph shows a demonstrator, later identified as Ieshia Evans, facing
police officers in riot gear as she’s about to be arrested. Evans looks resolute, standing peacefully in the middle of the road near the headquarters of the Baton Rouge police department. The contrast between her body language and those of the approaching police officers is made even more powerful by the flowing black-and-white dress she’s wearing.
Bachman knew he had the shot, and that it would be a good one. “I knew it was a representation of what was happening in Baton Rouge at that moment,” he says. “But I really, honestly, never thought it was going to be something like this. I had no idea I would be talking to everyone these past few days.”
Since he’s photographed Evans, Bachman has been inundated with emails and calls – some coming from photographers he’s looked up to, he says. “It’s a very humbling experience. It’s a little surreal as well.”
…“I’m a freelancer,” he says, “so I just wait for the phone calls,” — but Ieshia Evans should be the one getting the credit, he says. “People have been trying to talk about me, but really it’s that woman that made the photo.”
