Summary

Shootback Summary

Shootback: Photos by Kids in Nairobi Slums by Lana Wong

The photographs in this book were taken by the Shootback Team, a group of 31 kids, aged twelve to seventeen, from Nairobi, Kenya. They live in Mathare, one of the largest and poorest slums in Africa. Two years ago, these kids had never held a camera. Today, their photographs are exhibited, published and collected around the world. Equipped with $30 plastic cameras, the Shootback Team has been photographing their lives, and writing about them since September 1997. Through their own words and pictures, this book tells their story.
