An image of a young mother in a short dress on a New York City subway raised ethical questions and the ire of some commentators on Twitter. Some found the "award-winning" photo to be stunning, while others questioned the photographer's methods – sitting across from the woman for 45 minutes while holding his camera on his lap.Unlike the conversation around "newsworthy" images and the First Amendment, street photography often occupies a much creepier and ethically ambiguous space. But what exactly made this image so objectionable? Sarah and Allen discuss.Also on the show: Emily Ratajkowski tries using the Fair Use defense in her copyright infringement suit, World Press Photo shifts to a regional model, and photographer/director Joshua Kissi says LinkedIn is the real social network for pros. 

Since its inception, Photoville has used outdoor space to display a wide range of incredible photographs on the Brooklyn Bridge waterfront – which ironically makes it a perfect way to celebrate photography in the era of COVID-19.

It is one thing to look around you and see the need for change in the world, but it is another thing entirely to step up and decide to be the person who makes that change happen. Especially if taking action means making some major life changes. Karen Okonkwo, the co-founder of TONL, is one of those rare visionary leaders who was brave enough to take the leap and start enacting change by launching her own company to enhance access to inclusive imagery. Today, she and her co-founder, Joshua Kissi, are revolutionizing and diversifying the stock photo industry space by curating incredible catalogs of content for companies of all sizes. This journey isn't one she expected to be on, but now she's fully embraced it, carefully and intentionally building her way towards ground-breaking success. To learn more about Karen and TONL you can check out TONL's website, follow them on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, or follow Karen herself on Twitter and Instagram.The Finding Fearless Podcasts primary purpose is to highlight female entrepreneurs' voices.

This week we are joined by Bronx-born photographer Joshua Kissi, who recently collaborated with Nike to release a special Black History month campaign that has the internet buzzing. Kissi first hit the scene as ½ of Street Etiquette, a men’s fashion and lifestyle blog. He is now the Co-Founder of TONL, a photo stock gallery that represents a diverse array of skin complexions and lifestyles. I sat down with Kissi in his home in Queens to discuss his experience as a Ghanian-American capturing cultural moments both in Africa and in the diaspora and the importance of artists approaching this work with integrity.

Joshua Kissi is the creative director and photographer who picked up a camera at the age of seventeen. He’s the co-founder of Street Etiquette, known for their documentation of men’s style with a focus on black men. He joins The Dropcast this week to talk about his ongoing mission of empowering creatives through his latest ventures including TONL. Joshua joins hosts Jian DeLeon and Noah Thomas in a moment of appreciation for the new Air Max 95 “De Lo Mío.” The quick hits continue with Aimé Leon Dore’s color-blocked New Balance 827s which will have Jian dressing up as both a Chinatown grandma and an ALD model. While these are the sneakers that will get people scrambling, Supreme’s Nike Air Force 1s will be as accessible as sneakers can get. The shoes will essentially be their version of the CDG Play Converses — relatively affordable sneakers where the supply meets demand (3:49).  Paris Fashion Week saw the debut of Virgil’s Arc’teryx collection along with new off white-colored Off-White Air Jordan 4s (6:52). In other news, many people don’t quite realize that Virgil’s brand is another name for crack (9:26). Speaking about layers of meaning, Balenciaga’s FW20 show brought a new end-of-the-world aesthetic to the runway by addressing climate change and rising sea levels (9:36).  Last Friday, YEEZY Season 8’s surprise PFW presentation showcased polarizing but nonetheless Noah-verified shoes (10:55). Unfortunately, Tokyo Fashion Week which was next on the lineup has been hit with a precautionary coronavirus cancellation. While Milan Fashion Week reached an early conclusion due to an outbreak, fashion weeks in Shanghai, Beijing, and Seoul have all been either postponed or canceled (13:53). The cast notes the essential need to stay hygienic and be aware of unwarranted racism particularly in diverse regions like Jackson Heights where Joshua calls home. With International Women’s Day coming up, the hosts give shout outs to the women in their lives including those at Highsnob (16:25). Their appreciation and best wishes are extended to Megan Thee Stallion who’s going through trouble with her music label 1501 Ent. after Roc Nation encouraged her to renegotiate her contract. This episode’s Question of the Week (QOTW) asked “How do you grow to have a lucrative career as a photographer?” (18:11). The Dropcast listeners called in with a series of inquiries that asked Joshua to reflect back on his own career by making the important distinction between celebrity photographers and photographers who photograph celebrities and commenting on smiling with your eyes. The next QOTW which will be posted on Highsnobiety’s Instagram so make sure to leave a voicemail on The Dropcast hotline at 833-HIGHSNOB (833-444-4766) for a chance to be featured in a future episode.

In this weeks episode I sit down with Karen Okonkwo. Karen is an Nigerian-American, Seattle-based serial entrepreneur who co-created TONL with the intention of infusing diversity within the stock photography industry. While creating for her previous business, The Sorority Secrets, she found it surprisingly difficult to obtain images that captured diversity. In August 2017, Okonkwo collaborated with Joshua Kissi, a New York-based photographer and co-founder of the creative agency Street Etiquette to launch TONL. TONL, strives to transform the idea of stock photography by displaying images of diverse people and their stories around the world. For more about Tonl check out https://tonl.co/

In this episode of The Darkroom Podcast we spoke with Joshua Kissi and Karen Okonkwo, the Co-founders of TONL, a stock photography company whose mission is to capture diverse people and deliver their stories around the world. Karen is a Nigerian-American social entrepreneur and previous founder of companies in the event planning and online business realm. Joshua is a Ghanaian-American photographer and entrepreneur who previously founded infamous creative agency, Street Etiquette, in NYC. Both Inc 30 Under 30 founders, Joshua and Karen are reshaping the way brands use diverse imagery, partnering with companies like Google to bring their vision to life.

Karen Okonkwo and Joshua Kissi are the co-founders of TONL, a company turning stock photography into culturally radiant stories. Karen is a Nigerian-American social entrepreneur, speaker and educator. Joshua is a Ghanaian-American photographer and creative entrepreneur who co-founded the NY creative agency Street Etiquette. In 2018 Karen & Joshua were named on Inc’s list of 30 Under 30 Rising Stars when TONL was less than a year old. In this episode we explore why Karen & Joshua partnered to humanize stock photography and how TONL images showcase what the world actually looks like using diversity, inclusion, community and real narratives of real people. This is We Are Photographers with Karen Okonkwo and Joshua Kissi of TONL and this is their story.

Joshua Kissi’s initial foray into the world of creative culture started at a unique point in time. The fashion forums were a place of digital congregation and represented an era before the emergence of social media as we know it today. The in-depth conversations Joshua engaged in about the underlying aspects of fashion would transcend the forum pages into real-world interactions that resulted in the creative agency Street Etiquette, and more recently, TONL, a modern inclusive stock photography platform that has taken a massive step forward in redefining an old-school industry.
