The situation has remained extremely tense in Nairobi over the past few days. This is an image taken soon after an opposition MP was assassinated. Angry young men were gathering in the streets of Kibera slum in Nairobi when I took this image of a young girl coming out of her house. The graffiti on the stairs is representative of messages that are appearing all over Nairobi's slums. This image is part of a documentary project to shed light on the impact of the current crisis on vulnerable groups. Since starting it, I have been joined by two Kenyan freelance photographers, and together we will be ramping up our efforts in the days to come.
While she is not as sharp as you may want, it is a strong enough of an image that the lack of sharpness on the subject is in my eyes not a big deal.
Thanks for sharing these images!
Stay safe,
get the images published,

Many thanks for your comments. This was my first visit to Kibera so I was trying to reduce the time I had my eye to the viewfinder. Some shots were affected by slight camera shake, like this one. Upcoming visits will hopefully give me more time to plan and execute the shots. Regards, Spyros
