How a photographer turned childhood restrictions into a lens on Manila's hidden realities.
In short: Photographer Hannah Reyes Morales explores the streets of Manila, documenting the city's vulnerable populations and the impact of the Philippine government's war on drugs. This episode of the Overheard podcast examines how her work illuminates the dark corners of a city she was once forbidden to explore.
Growing up, Hannah Reyes Morales was kept away from the rougher parts of Manila. As an adult, her career as a photographer brought her back to those very streets, where she focused her lens on the human cost of the Philippine government's violent war on drugs.
The podcast, hosted by Peter Gwin and Amy Briggs, highlights how Morales uses photography to bring attention to the lives of the city's most marginalized citizens. By documenting these often-overlooked stories, her work provides a stark, necessary perspective on the realities facing those living in the city's shadows.
