The documentary photographer Marc Asnin has recently launched an international photography campaign against the death penalty.

The initiative, named Selfie Against the Death Penalty, wants to sensitize the public opinion against the recurring use in many American States, but not only, by using the power of social media and by the recent success obtained by the self-portrait form famous with the name of selfie.

The participants are requested to upload on the web page http://final-words.org/selfie-campaign their selfie and to write the following sentence “I’m against the death penalty because…”. Photographers are invited to upload their selfie in the section of the website dedicated to them at http://final-words.org/selfie-campaign.

This project will allow everyone to express, in a personal and creative way, their opposition to the death penalty and, at the same time, to demonstrate their support to the crowd-funding that will be alunched on October 6^th by the author in order to achieve the realization of his next book, titled Final Words, that puts together the pictures and last words of men and women executed in Texas.

The selfies and relative declarations against the death penalty made by the supporters of the crowd-funding campaign for the book Final Words will be put together in a travelling exhibition. A way to make even clearer the goal of the book: fight the death penalty.
