About GlobalCompassion.com
GlobalCompassion.com is a place to see documentary photography and respond with honesty and humility. It’s a small step toward seeing other people and their lives as they are. Whether that leads to compassion, action, or genuine change is up to us.
Everyone: We invite you to see and respond in conversations connected to real life.
Photographers: We ask you to submit your photos and related stories from the heart.
The mix
The conversations are up to all of us. We can keep the quality level high by being honest, humble, and connected to real life. Be respectful, and ignore the trolls. Use the email notification feature when you leave a comment if you want to follow the responses.
The photography includes single photos and photo essays usually including personal accounts and stories from the photographers.
Sometimes writings are published in the form of brief essays and reviews.
The contributors are documentary photographers living and working around the world. All of us are engaged either long term or in the moment with the people who we photograph.
The ratings work like this: 5 stars (almost perfect), 4 stars (excellent), 3 stars (good), 2 stars (average), 1 star (lacking). Photos that are not rated highly enough will be removed, unless commenters make a strong case to keep it. This website is not primarily about photography. But as photographers we appreciate and need real feedback. Please use the rating system, and tell us when you really think a photo works, or doesn’t, and why.
Your submissions are welcome. Learn how to submit content here.
