StillVision Abroad - MaiKhanda Project, Malawi.

So... 4 countries, 1 month and 14 flights later and the StillVision studio has re-opened! There is just the small matter of the 38gb of photography to edit from our mammoth trip abroad! Expect plenty of BLOG entries over the next few weeks including photography of our wedding booking in Harare, Zimbabwe and our photo coverage for the Cambridge based charity Aquaid.

Most importantly and the primary reason for our trip to Africa was a photography commission to produce a comprehensive PR portfolio for The Health Foundation in London. Malawi has one of the world’s highest rates of maternal deaths during childbirth with recent figures showing that 984 mothers die for every 100,000 live births and that 27 babies die for every 1,000 births. The foundation has launched a £2.7 million, three year programme dedicated to improving the quality of healthcare for babies and mothers in Malawi.

The project that was photographed is called 'MaiKhanda' and we had the privilege of seeing everything that has been done to reduce maternal deaths. It was an eye opening experience but a very positive one (not to mention a hard working one too).

Below is a selection of favourite images processed in a more photojournalistic style to those produced for The Health Foundation.
