Jodi Bieber height - How tall is Jodi Bieber?

Speaking about the photograph, Bieber said "I could have made a photograph with her looking or being portrayed more as the victim. And I thought 'no, this woman is beautiful.'" In a 2014 essay Hilary Janks discussed Bieber's concern for Aisha's beauty and questioned whether "the mutilation [would] have been less reprehensible if Aisha had not been young and beautiful".

Bibi Aisha, then 18, was disfigured after being convicted by the Taliban of taking refuge from a violent husband in her family home. Her story was part of a 2010 Time report into the conditions of Afghan women (see Women's rights in Afghanistan), in conjunction with which Bieber's photo was featured on the magazine's front cover. David Burnett, the chair of the World Press Photo (WPP) jury, said of Bieber's photo of Aisha, "This could become one of those pictures – and we have maybe just ten in our lifetime – where if somebody says, 'You know, that picture of a girl … ', you know exactly which one they're talking about." The Photo of the Year award was Bieber's tenth WPP prize.

Bieber's book Soweto depicting contemporary scenes from the township of Soweto in Johannesburg, was published in 2010. Bieber described the book as an attempt to counter stereotypes about Soweto and to rectify the absence of representations of post-Apartheid Soweto.
