Drone’la çekilen fotoğraflar Güney Afrika’daki eşitsizliği gözler önüne serdi

Hemen hemen 50 yıldır, sistematik ırkçı baskılarla mücadele eden Güney Afrika, 90’lardan bu yana da hukuksal düzenlemelerde gelgitler yaşıyor. Yaşananlar sonucu ülkede ırklara göre değişiklik gösteren birçok tampon bölge oluşmuştur. Fotoğrafçı Johnny Miller tarafından drone’la çekilen bu son fotoğraflar da ülkedeki gelir eşitsizliğini yansıtıyor.
