A Project to raise funds and awareness of the extraordinary work of the Amal Foundation

Not often can you be a force for good in the world and work with such talented and courageous artists. Red Eight were delighted to create a simple ecommerce website for this wonderful project. Red Eight worked with Anthony Dawton and Jim McFarlane to create a showcase of their photography, highlighing the life of refugee camps in Bangladesh. An e-commerce shop was also added to help gather funds for this Amal Hope Charitable Foundation.

The project is a photographic undertaking to show the Amal Foundation’s work on Bogura Island and in the Roingyha refugee camp at Cox’s Bazar, the largest refugee camp in the world. These photographs are then exhibited and sold, with profits going to the Amal Hope Project.

In sharp contrast to the demand for instant news, Dawton&McFarlane’s work is underpinned by the understanding that taking time to win the respect and confidence of the people being photographed brings integrity and depth to their work. It is an approach that produces richly textured images of the individual’s condition, their sense of injustice, their view on life and their hopes for the future. Often black and white, usually printed large and always photographed and printed to the highest standards, mindseye's images are works of art, visually stunning and deeply thought provoking. Each image expresses a deep understanding of the human condition in the context of man made disasters: war and genocide that give rise to overwhelming tragedies. Dawton and McFarlane images stand as a legacy and silent witness to these historical moments.
