Snyder, who will speak at 2:30 p.m., is the director of the photojournalism program at the Rochester Institute of Technology and a four-time Pulitzer Prize winner.

"I'm not interested in basic, good-looking, clean, safe, predictable photographs," Snyder has said. "I want what it feels like. I don't always get it, but it's my goal." He will be followed at 3:30 p.m. by Burnett, whose work has been published in National Geographic, TIME, Newsweek, LIFE, STERN and Paris Match, among other publications. He also has published collections of his work such as 44 Days: Iran and the Remaking of the World; Soul Rebel: An Intimate Portrait of Bob Marley and, most recently, with Raymond Depardon, September in Chile 1971-1973, which documents the coup against Salvador Allende.

In recent years, he has worked with Photographers for Hope to create a workshop for homeless news vendors in Glasgow, Scotland; in 2017 the group visited Newburgh for two weeks to shoot and mount a show that also became a book, Newburgh Rising. Today, Burnett has a studio in Newburgh. Other photographers participating in the exhibit are Sandra Belitza-Vazquez of Newburgh, who specializes in nature and travel; Tony Cenicola of Beacon, a staff photographer for The New York Times; Pierce Johnston of Beacon, who shoots the Hudson Valley; William Loeb of Beacon, who uses Photoshop to enhance and modify his images; and Jane Soodalter of Cold Spring, who focuses on macrophotography.

Mike Tyson has long been a boxing legend, and for this week's podcast we speak with the photographer who was there from the very start. Lori Grinker was just a student with a semester-long assignment when she first met Tyson as a 13-year-old kid under the tutelage of famed boxing trainer Cus D'Amato. Grinker's inside access over the next decade offers an intimate portrait of Tyson that few others have seen, and is now published in the book Mike Tyson. Listen in as Grinker describes how she learned on the job as the only woman ringside, transforming from student to pro in step with Tyson's meteoric rise. She also weighs in about gear choices, making distinctions between photographing with reflex cameras and rangefinders, and sharing thoughts on shooting black and while film vs digital captures in monochrome mode. Listen in to learn how she juggled documentary coverage with celebrity reportage and sports photography in what was truly a wild ride.

This week's episode of the B&H Photography Podcast provides a lesson we all can use: how to be better businesspeople while we are being better photographers. Much of this advice comes from our intriguing guest, photographer and educator Todd Bigelow.   A longtime pro, Bigelow has freelanced for the likes of Sports Illustrated and The Los Angeles Times, among many other editorial and commercial clients, and he is a contributing photographer to the prestigious agency Contact Press Images. He is also the founder of the Business of Photography Workshop, an adjunct professor of photography and photojournalism, and the author of The Freelance Photographer's Guide To Success: Business Essentials, which is the basis for our conversation today.   With Bigelow, we discuss growing a client base, the ratio of time and labor between the business and the craft of photography, and how to let your archive work for you. We also talk about negotiating rates, contracts, and handling copyright infringements. Bigelow uses many examples from his own career to highlight his points, and Allan adds some examples of his own.   Join us for this enjoyable, motivating, and helpful conversation about photography business essentials.   Guest: Todd Bigelow Photograph © Todd Bigelow
