So I would never draw attention to myself. But with a camera I could actually go where I wanted to go and photograph and confront people, with a shield. And so I think I was using it more as my own self therapy, like I wanted to be in the middle of the party, and I wanted to be on this dancefloor with the young women, but I couldn't. And so with a camera I was there just photographing it.” Become a full tier 1 member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of previous episodes for £5 per month.For the tier 2 archive-only membership, to access the full library of past episodes for £3 per month, go here.Subscribe to my weekly newsletter here for everything A Small Voice related and much more besides.Follow me on Instagram here.Build Yourself a Squarespace Website video course here.

Your grounded in a certain reality where you go “I know my images aren't going to stop a war tomorrow but at least I can be a part of that documentation process.” And to me that is important. Why shouldn't we be showing a reflection of our collective humanity that is both ugly and beautiful at the same time? There are so many grey areas. The world is not black and white.” Become a full tier 1 member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of previous episodes for £5 per month.For the tier 2 archive-only membership, to access the full library of past episodes for £3 per month, go here.

For this episode, we asked artist, mother, and activist Tanya Aguiñiga which artist she would most wish to speak with and she chose visual artist and curator Julio César Morales. The pair discuss the versatility of the border experience, unlikely influences, and functional art practices. This episode is in partnership with The Armory Show. Both artists appearing in the episode are part of the curated sections of the fair's 2022 edition. Tanya Aguiñiga's work is presented by Volume Gallery in Focus, curated by Carla Acevedo-Yates, while Julio César Morales's piece La Linea is presented by Gallery Wendi Norris in Platform, curated by Tobias Ostrander. Tanya Aguiñiga is an artist, designer, and craftsperson, who works with traditional craft materials like natural fibers and collaborates with other artists and activists to create sculptures, installations, performances, and community-based art projects. In her installations, furniture, and wearable designs, Aguiñiga often works with cotton, wool, and other textiles, drawing upon Mesoamerican weaving and traditional forms. Her solo exhibitions include the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Museum of Arts and Design. Additional exhibitions have been held at the Annenberg Space for Photography, and the Craft and Folk Art Museum—among others. Julio César Morales investigates issues of migration, underground economies, and labor on the personal and global scales. Morales's practice explores diverse mediums specific to each project or body of work. He has painted watercolor illustrations that diagram human trafficking methods, employed the DJ turntable, produced video and time-based pieces, and reenacted a famous meal—all to elucidate social interactions and political perspectives. Morales's work has been shown at SFMOMA, Museo Rufino Tamayo, LACMA, Hammer Museum, Muca Roma, Prospect 3 Biennale, Lyon Biennale, and Istanbul Biennale among others.

Hosts Julie Slater & Jason Friday chat with Tami Bahat. Born in Israel, Tami is a lens-based artist (aka "LENS CRAFTER"), whose passion lies in molding the beauty of humanity into something extraordinary. She strives to push the boundaries of her own imagination, as well as the viewer's, by creating bold works of art from striking perspectives.

After moving to the west coast, Bahat turned her creative interests to photography and was recognized by the U.K. publication Nikon Owner Magazine. Soon after, the work appeared on the cover along with a feature story detailing her as an artist. Tami was a finalist for the Julia Margaret Cameron Award and received a Spotlight Award for Black & White Magazine. In 2014, her work was exhibited at Fotofever Paris. In 2016, Bahat was selected for Critical Mass Top 50 and she received an award from the San Diego Art Institute.

Today on Work In Progress, Sophia is joined by Tony de los Reyes(@tonydlreyes). Tony is an inspiring visual artist who has been creating artwork that explores the complexity of the US-Mexico border for several years now. Beginning his immersion with big picture inspiration from Google Maps, his work has since evolved into a closer inspection of the border, the walls that have come to define it, and the physical space surrounding it. Tony’s work has been featured in many renowned galleries and museums such as LACMA, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the Annenberg Space for Photography, and the New Britain Museum of American Art. On this episode of Work in Progress, Sophia and Tony dive deep into thoughts on artistic beginnings, how we react to tragedy, the power of art, and the importance of examining the lines that divide us. Thank you to our sponsors for today’s episode:Each & Every (eachandevery.com/WIP and use promo code WIP) Framebridge (use promo code WIP)Headspace (headspace.com/WIP) 

American photographer Michael Christopher Brown was raised in the Skagit Valley, a farming community in Washington. After moving to New York City in 2005, he joined the Italian photo agency Grazia Neri in 2006. He then moved to Beijing, China, in 2009 and over the next two years put together a series of works from road and train trips across the country.In 2010 Michael began taking pictures with an iPhone, driving around eastern China in his Jinbei van. Since then he has produced iPhone photographs in Libya, Egypt, Congo, Central African Republic, Cuba and Palestine. Michael's ability to capture critical moments with an iPhone has led to his involvement with Time, The New York Times Magazine, and National Geographic's Instagram platforms.In 2011, Michael spent seven months in Libya photographing the Libyan Revolution, exploring ethical distance and the iconography of warfare. He covered several battles along the coast, was ambushed several times in Eastern Libya and injured twice. In early March, on the frontline near the eastern town of Bin Jawad, he was shot in the leg during a Government offensive. Six weeks later, while covering the Siege of Misrata, he was injured by incoming mortar fire, losing nearly half the blood in his body and requiring two transfusions. His colleagues Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros were both killed in the same attack and Guy Martin was also badly injured. Michael returned to Libya twice in 2012 and was the subject of the Michael Mann directed HBO documentary series Witness: Libya.A contributing photographer at National Geographic since 2005, Michael is also a contributor to The New York Times Magazine and other publications. Since 2006 his photographs have been published in dozens of international publications. He joined Magnum Photos as a nominee in 2013 and was an associate from 2015 until leaving the agency in June 2017.Michael's book Libyan Sugar won the Paris Photo First Photobook Award and the International Center of Photography's 2017 Infinity Award for Artist's Book.In 2015 and 2016 Michael produced Paradiso, a multimedia project on the electronica music and youth scene in Havana, Cuba, part of which was exhibited in 2017 during the Cuba IS show at the Annenberg Space for Photography.In 2018 Michael released the book Yo Soy Fidel, which follows the cortège of Fidel Castro, former Cuban revolutionary and politician, over a period of several days in late 2016.Michael has also documented conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo since 2012 and was based in Goma from late 2012 until early 2014. A three book series of images from that time, both his and those he collected from numerous Congolese photographers, is forthcoming, entitled Congo Sunrise. On episode 142, Michael discusses, among other things: His new podcast, The Searcher, and the reasons for starting it.The controversy surrounding his story on Skid Row in L.A. for National Geographic.The PTSD that took nearly six years to manifest itself and the efficacy of psychedelic drugs as a treatment.His thoughts on the inclusion of gory images of war in his book Libyan Sugar.His forthcoming book project, Congo Sunrise, featuring collected images from Congolese photographers.Reasons for shooting with the iPhone.Recent personal challenges, including his partner Lauren’s brain surgery.Being a ‘connector’. Referenced:Tim HetheringtonChris HondrosGuy MartinChristophe Bangert, War PornCongolese photographer Moyes KayumbaChuck CloseKira Pollack  Website | Instagram | Facebook“In an age of so much bullshit and so many lies, where we don’t know what’s real and what’s not, it’s just so important to show the way the world actually looks.”

Stuck at home during this pandemic looking for something fun to do? Look no further than the National Museum of American History's Photographic History Collection and the Smithsonian Learning Lab.  The Photographic History Collection (PHC) represents the history of the medium of photography from the daguerreotype era to the present.  In numbers that adds up to over 2000 identified photographers and studios, about 200,000 photographs, and about 15,000 cameras, pieces of apparatus, studio equipment. You can search, share and save items you find.  It's a research rabbit hole. I spent hours looking for items the first time I went on the site.  One of my favorites is an early daguerreotype of a group standing on the banks of Niagara Falls without safety precautions. My guest has spent the last several months organizing digitized images into virtual collections with the Smithsonian Learning Lab, an online resource.  It's possible to create your own “collection” of images for research.  Teachers can create modules their students can use too. The last time I searched the Smithsonian collection it was overwhelming. Thanks to Shannon, I can find what I need and save it for next time. Here's one really cool thing. Each image has a unique permanent URL meaning you can use it and locate the image later. If you've seen a photo exhibit at the National Museum of American History then likely Shannon had something to do with it. Related Episodes:Episode 48: Finding Photos of Your AncestorsLinks:Smithsonian Learning LabSign up for my newsletter.Watch my YouTube Channel.Like the Photo Detective Facebook Page so you get notified of my Facebook Live videos.Need help organizing your photos?

Well this is a strange session—but on so many levels. First of all, Meryl Meisler was Dylan's digital art teacher when he was in 7th Grade. They haven't seen each other in ten years-since school really-and meet up IRL in the studio. Loved seeing them together and hearing in their reflections how they affected each other. Meryl got Dylan into her first film festival as a kid! The other part of this session is between Dylan and myself, with Meryl taking the shrink role. I had offended Dylan about four years ago when we were on stage together. And that's all I'm saying. This is the closest I've come to crying on the mic though! And with all this going on, we barely got to touch on the fact that Dylan is the current Miss Subways!! https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/08/nyregion/Miss-Subways-NYC.html Here's some info about Meryl Meisler, an incredible photographer artist. You can see her work and all that stuff here: Her bio is too long for this post but you'll recognize these places in it: Meisler has received fellowships, grants and residencies from the New York Foundation for the Arts, Light Work, YADDO, The Puffin Foundation, Time Warner, Artists Space, C.E.T.A., the China Institute and the Japan Society. Her work has been exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Historical Society, Dia Art Foundation, MASS MoCA, Islip Art Museum, Annenberg Space for Photography, the New Museum for Contemporary Art, New-York Historical Society, Steven Kasher Gallery, The Whitney Museum of American Art and in public spaces including Grand Central Terminal, South Street Seaport, Photoville and throughout the NYC subway system. Full bio here. More about Dylan Mars Greenberg: It's insane how much great work she's accomplished and she's only 22! The most inspiring way to find out about Dylan is from this wonderful documentary by Piano Whitman that I totally recommend: http://nobudge.com/main/woman-from-mars. And here's a headline from when she was only 19! "How a 19 Yr Old Directed & Sold 6 Feature Films with Dylan Mars Greenberg".

The Annenberg Space for Photography's new exhibit, "Contact High," pays tribute to some of hip-hop's greatest stars in all their glory and behind the scenes. And in her new documentary, Rachel Mason chronicles the story of her parents' two gay porn stores.

The Album: Gang Starr: Hard to Earn (1994) Gang Starr's Hard to Earn dropped in the pivotal year of 1994, arguably the height of the Golden Era as it came alongside everything from Biggie's Ready to Die to Nas's Illmatic to OutKast's Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik. Unlike those other debut albums, this was Gang Starr's fourth LP and by '94, they had established themselves as the (no pun intended) premier rap duo, avatars of a boom bap/braggadocio style that would help define an entire era. For DJ Premier, Hard to Earn marked the beginning of his imperial era, where the telltale sound of a Primo scratch was a mark of quality. Meanwhile, G.U.R.U.'s lyrical craft stepped up another notch (even if it was still "mostly tha voice" that got folks up). Fans will debate whether this was Gang Starr's best album but for Morgan and Oliver, it happened to be their favorite by the group. Aight? Chill. Hard to Earn was the pick of a dynamic duo of guests. First up: Vikki Tobak, author of the astounding new book, Contact High: A Visual History of Hip-Hop, quite possibly the best rap photography book ever created. She was in town as part of the new Contact High exhibit at the Annenberg Space for Photography (which is up through August, come catch it!). As part of the exhibit, there's a wonderful documentary video that accompanies, assembled by other other guest: Joseph "Jazzbo" Patel. He and Oliver go back to the '90s when both were young writers at URB Magazine and by the '00s, Patel had moved into video content, becoming one of the most influential behind-the-scenes talents at places like Vice TV, MTV, The Fader and Vevo. (He and Vikki are now working on a docu-series based on Contact High). In tackling this album, the four of us discussed everything from the highs and lows of the jazz-hip-hop era of the early '90s to why we need to bring back answering machine/voicemail skits to how to properly pronounce "DWYCK."

When Charlie Shrem was growing up in an Orthodox Jewish family in Brooklyn, he learned a lesson about money the hard way. "I got a credit card in the mail [...] the day I turned 18. I had a $6000 credit limit. And I was taking people to Vegas," he told me. It was a lifestyle that got him in ten thousand dollars worth of debt. He repaid that debt in full, and then started looking for a way towards financial independence.  He landed on Bitcoin. Charlie was an early adopter of the cryptocurrency, and his gamble paid off. By the time he was 22, he had co-founded a company called BitInstant, which helped its users convert dollars into Bitcoin. It made Charlie rich, but it also landed him in legal trouble. One of Charlie's customers was making a profit reselling Bitcoin purchased on BitInstant on Silk Road, an underground marketplace known for illegal transactions. Charlie knew about it, and ended up being arrested for it. He plead guilty to a reduced charge, and served a year in federal prison. "When you're in prison, it's not like TV where everyone's like, oh, I'm innocent," Charlie told me. "Everyone tells you they're guilty. I'm guilty. Because to say you're innocent minimizes all that hard work you're doing to get out."  I talked with Charlie about money, prison, and ultimately leaving his Orthodox community live onstage at the Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles. Our conversation took place in conjunction with an exhibit there called Generation Wealth. It's a series of photographs by Lauren Greenfield about money, status, and the ways we show them—you can learn more about that exhibit and see some of the photographs here.  Watch Anna and Charlie Shrem in conversation at the Annenberg Space for Photography.   

With iconic photography of young iconoclasts, musicians, and bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, The Circle Jerks, Ice Cube, and Bad Religion, as well as hundreds of other early punk and hip hop bands, Edward Colver was an insider to the turbulent and burgeoning underground music scene of early-eighties Los Angeles.

Professional photographers Clay Larsen and Jon Mackey join Jen to talk about today's perceptions of photography. From the way technology and Instagram have affected how people view their own ability to take photos, to what now defines photojournalism, to the sometimes diluted definition of a "good" or "artistic" photo, the medium is at a much different place than it was even ten years ago. But no matter what lens you view it through, one thing is indisputable: don't have your friend take your headshot for free.
