Mohamed Bourouissa is an Algerian-born French artist (b. 1978) who lives and works in Paris. Mohamed's practice moves between photography, video, sculpture, and installation, often blurring the lines between these mediums. His work explores social issues, power dynamics, and the representation of marginalized communities.He often engages with or embeds himself into specific communities for extended periods, spending significant time with individuals and groups to understand their experiences and perspectives before then creating collaborative works that challenge societal structures and explore the complexities of identity. Mohamed's work frequently addresses the tensions between different social contexts, particularly those related to race, class, and immigration, often questioning how different social groups are represented in media and art, challenging stereotypes and seeking to offer alternative narratives. His work has been exhibited in major museums and biennials worldwide, and in 2020 he received the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize for his retrospective exhibition featured in the Arles Festival the previous year.Mohamed currently has a major solo show at Fondazione MAST in Bologna Italy, curated by Francesco Zanot. The exhibition is entitled Communautés and features four notable works produced over a twenty year span between 2005 and this year - Péripherique, Horse Day, Shoplifters and Hands. In episode 259, Mohamed discusses, among other things:The sense of community growing up in the Parisian suburbsHis early experiences as a graffiti artistHis first project, Nous Somme HallesThe 2005 riots that preceded PéripheriqueWhy he decided to stage images… and why he sketches the images out firstThe theme of masculinity and his own experience of growing up without a father presentThe challenges of being a dadKnowing that he wanted to be an artistHow artists must value their own work and learn to say noHis project Horse Day and how it came aboutArt as a playgroundHis new project, HandsHow he arrives at the choice of medium and the factors that inflence that choiceWhy he is, in his own words, an ‘extremely bad photographer' Referenced:AnoushkashootJamel ShabazzEmma-Charlotte GobryFletcher Street by Martha Camarillo Website | Instagram EPISODE SPONSORS:CHARCOAL WORKSHOPS. THE ‘SUMMER SERIES' TAKING PLACE IN PORTLAND, MAINE, SEPTEMBER 15-19, 2025. FEATURING: ANTOINE D'AGATA, TODD HIDO AND CHRISTIAN PATERSON.

I saw a post on Facebook where a photographer was panicking about a lack of business, stating that he had to compete with people doing $50 sessions. My first response to the post was that there is a lot of room at the top.Then I decided to do this podcast episode as my response to him and everyone thinking this is the reality in the industry.It comes from a book based on a powerful idea that can completely change the way you run your business: the Blue Ocean Strategy.The concept comes from sailboat racing, where most boats fight for space in the same crowded, chaotic waters. But the winners? They sail into calm, open water... the blue ocean. That's where they move faster and with less resistance.In business, this means stopping the hustle to compete and instead, creating something unique that sets you apart. It could be a specialty few photographers are photographing, OR a new way of running your business. You don't have to fight over price or copy what others are doing. You can stand out by being you. In this episode, you'll learn: What a blue ocean is—and why it's better than competing in a crowded market How to shift your mindset and stop comparing yourself to others Real examples of photographers who created their own space and thrived A simple journaling exercise to help you start building your own blue oceanThis episode is your invitation to stop chasing and start creating.

In this episode we will talk with Aida Muluneh about authenticity. Aida discusses the use of festivals to manage perceptions of Africa and to globally share different imaginings of Africa through the continent's own visual language. She stresses the need for a global discourse surrounding ethically photographing the Global South, which is rooted in awareness and respect for the country being represented. Aida's own work also aims to foster a global discourse while reflecting her own heritage and culture. Aida explains how authenticity has shaped her own career choices as well as how it is balanced with impartiality in photojournalism. What you'll find inside: “Photographers in Africa have been doing work for a very long time, it's just a matter of opportunities and you know having also in the international media having sort of diversity within discourse. So right now, for most of us in the continent there's a level of urgency of trying to balance these cliches that we still see going out and the perceptions as well as it relates to what is Africa.” (5.36)“My goal has always been to authentically present my thoughts, my ideas and my experiences without having to pretend to be somebody else. So, my work is really a reflection of who I am and this is I think, when we speak about art and creativity that's the most important thing that we have to focus on.” (9.45)“For us in the global south we have to educate ourselves to do better than what's been done before, it's not just about representation but it's talking about rights… photographers come to Africa and feel that it's ok to take photos of kids on the street you know, which they would never do in their own country. So, these kinds of things can only change when we have a global discussion as it relates to the direction of photography, that is not only led by the Global North but it also encompasses the challenges that we face in the Global South.” (11.47)“As artists we can only present our own truths, this is the key thing. And that truth means whatever is in front of us how we are authentically reacting to it. It's dangerous when artists come with an answer. So, for me I'm just provoking the questions and these are the things that I focus on; is the questioning part and also my curiosity and the exploration of what I think about certain things. But within it is just to know more and to also get people who are viewing it to go on that journey with me as well, to be curious just as I am.” (20.32)“Right now, you can open any media outlet any of that and you'll see sort of a one-sided approach to things, but what we need to be questioning is what is the other side as well. This is sort of the balance that needs to exist you know and to really not be almost like a servant to the industry, a servant to the market. That's the only way that we're going to change things.” (28.32)“Whatever style you choose whatever you wanted to do, just make sure that you live a life of purpose. This is always my goal, this is sort of my contribution to my continent…everything that I do is with the hopes that someone else will carry on what I started.” (35.11)What does photography ethics mean to Aida?“The basis of it is about respect in whatever form that you want to talk about it, however you want to look about it. And that respect comes from also having a common understanding that the ethics of photography is not different because the location has changed. We need to all be together on this. So if we're using the same tools and approaching the same things and we're fighting for the same things I think that there needs to be a better understanding and there needs to be a global conversation as it relates to that. That the ethical rules are not different because one nation is more developed than another.” (37.34)Links:“With Paint And A Camera, She's Forging A New Artistic Vision Of Africa” by Natalie Jacewicz for NPRAfrica Foto FairAddis Foto FestSimon Njami

Why blog?It's amazing for SEOIt gives you things to talk about on socialIt gives you content for your newsletterIt's good for authority marketingIt increases engagement on your websiteSam explains that if you only write your blog and don't promote it, no one will ever find it. He says your blog needs to be about a theme. It needs to be about a topic and help to show that you are an expert in your field. For example, Samsuggests that a wedding photographer could review wedding venues. A blog without a theme or purpose is not much use. Also, consider what is valuable to your target audience and how the topic can demonstrate your expertise. Once you have a theme, we are then down to writing individual blogs. Marcus asks if your blog should be on your website or elsewhere. Sam says one of the points of a blog is helping with SEO. This does not happen if you use a blogging platform instead of your website.Blogs are words. Photographs only are not acceptable and don't work on their own. A blog must be at least 500 words. 1000 words average. Once it gets much over 1500 words, it's time to think about splitting into two smaller blogs. A mix of sizes is good, some longer, some shorter. For SEO, Google needs to understand who you are and what you do, and only words can do that. For social media, there is no point promoting your blog on social if it is only images, as they would expect to see the images on social anyway. Do use images in the blogs. But there should be plenty of text to go with the images. Do not fill space with photographs.  Organise the writing in your blog. Make it easier for people to skim read. Use sub-headings, bullet-pointed lists, etc, to help people skim read it. This structure helps people and Google to understand your blog. Give value in your blog. The blog has to be useful to them, or it won't be engaging.External and internal links are essential. Both to other websites (external links) and within your website to other pages and blogs (internal links).Marcus asks if Sam blogs and how he blogs. Sam says that inthe past, he has had copywriters blogging for him. This ensures that you get regular blogs created. But he also blogs himself, both written and video blogs. Sam says one key is ensuring you put time aside to create content. In terms of ideas, Sam often uses topics that have come up in conversations in the last fewweeks. Marcus asks about AI. Sam says it's good for some stuff. It is bad at writing blogs. Do not simply ask AI to write you a blog; it will be very generic and easy to spot. But it is useful. It is great for ideas. If you cannot think of anything to write, it can give you ideas. You can also ask for a blog structure. Don't 100% stick to the structure, as it will be quite bland. Then write the blog yourself. But once you have written it yourself, put it backthrough AI and ask for improvements.How do you get people to your blog? First of all, no one will come if you don't tell them about it. What can you do?Send out social media posts sending people to the blogMake an email newsletter and send people to the blog.Those are really good ways of getting people to your blog. As part of SEO, Google assess how popular your website is and how long people stay on the website. So by sending engaged people to the blog, you are helping with your website's SEO. Ensure that you have your website connected to Google Analytics so you can see who is visiting your blogs and where they are coming from.

Project Censored's Managing Editor, Mischa Geracoulis, hosts this week's program. Mischa's guest is photographer Glen Ellis Friedman, who talks about his new book, Fearless Vampire Killers, a collection of his photos of the punk-rock band Bad Brains. Friedman is an American photographer, who began his work while still in junior high school, photographing his friends skateboarding. Later he covered the punk-rock and hip-hop music scenes, when those genres began drawing widespread public attention in the 1980s. Friedman's photographs have been shown in exhibits around the world, and are included in many museum collections, including the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.   The post A conversation with photographer Glen Friedman appeared first on KPFA.

DÉPÊCHE MODE—Viscose Journal calls itself “a journal for fashion criticism” which sounds like a simple enough—and niche enough—premise for a magazine. Founded by Jeppe Ugelvig in Copenhagen and New York in 2021, Viscose has quickly become a vital touchpoint in the fashion world. And it has evolved into something far more complicated than what it still calls itself.In many ways, Ugelvig and his team have created a magazine that is a pure distillation of what a magazine can be. Because every issue of the publication is different—in form and shape and style. In other words, this is a magazine without a literal template. The first issue was called a “bagazine” and came in the form of a crocodile skin handbag. Another issue featured a garment label. And the current issue comes with a cover in the form of a cut-out of a perfume box. The magazine feels like “an ongoing thought process,” not just with the subject of fashion but with the idea of making a magazine itself. And in this sense, it is a mirror not just to the disciplined anarchy of the fashion industry but also into the making of an independent magazine in the 21st century. And that means thinking about the brand, about events, about audience, about the future as a media hub. And that's a lot of thinking.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

You know—the sunset, the summit, the perfect smile. Until I took a trip with a friend who'd studied under National Geographic photographers. Day one, we hiked for hours to a viewpoint. I pulled out my camera, lined up the shot, and BAM—caught the golden light perfectly hitting the valley. I was thrilled. My friend, though? He didn't even blink. “Cool,” he said, “But where's the rest of the story?” Turns out, he wasn't just snapping random cool shots—he was building a five-frame story: who, what, where, when, and why. And suddenly, that single “epic” shot of mine felt... empty. I watched him plan his shots before we even set up camp, getting up before dawn to catch headlamps in the dark, positioning himself on the other ridge for the silhouette. It wasn't luck. It was intentional, strategic, and powerful. Principle Your travel photos shouldn't just be pretty—they should speak. One great image is nice, but a well-crafted story in five frames? That's unforgettable. The real magic happens when you stop chasing moments and start anticipating narratives. Transition The problem is most people don't know this. They think epic shots just “happen,” or worse—they wing it and hope for the best. But capturing adventure isn't about waiting around with a camera. It's about preparing like a storyteller and thinking like a guide. If your photos aren't landing the way you hoped, it's not your talent—it's your approach. That's Why That's why this week's Thursday Drop with Sergio Ballivian is a must-listen. We're breaking down the mindset behind visual storytelling on expeditions—how to capture moments that speak volumes without needing eight months or a magazine budget. Whether you're heading to Bolivia or your local hiking trail, these are the mental shifts that'll upgrade your storytelling forever. Call to Action  Still coming home with 300 photos and no story?

Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com introduces us to Caitlyn Daproza, Photojournalism Student at the Rochester Institute of Technology., joining today's episode with a conversation on less farm land going to organic crops and the importance of sustainability.Caitlyn's curiosity for documentation began at a young age, going through family photo albums and old letters, and through asking questions and connecting pieces of memory, she began to understand the quiet power of storytelling through archived moments. Caitlyn's work centers on community, optimism, and the preservation of personal and collective memory.Currently pursuing a BFA in Photojournalism at the Rochester Institute of Technology, she brings experience across photography, audio, video, and reporting. Inspired by family archives and everyday joy, their creative practice amplifies diverse voices through storytelling.Together, Doug and Caitlyn explore why fewer farmers are turning to organic certification—and what that means for the future of sustainable agriculture. From rising costs to evolving climate practices, we unpack the growing debate: Is "organic" still worth it, or are there better ways to farm responsibly?Tune in as we talk cows, compost, and the complexities of doing what's best for both the planet and the people who farm it.Website - AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks

#574 In this episode of the podcast, I got brutally honest about an uncomfortable truth many photographers—myself included—often avoid: believing new gear will instantly make us better photographers. I dove into why so many of us, at some point, fixate on the idea that lack of equipment stands between us and the images we want to create. Drawing from my own experiences—like nearly convincing myself to buy a $7,500 Fujifilm GFX100 medium format camera after I left wedding photography—I shared how easy it is to fall into the "gear will fix it" trap, when what I really needed was to spend more time shooting.I challenged listeners (and myself) to rekindle excitement by using the equipment we already own. Whether that's taking a “camera date” or giving ourselves quirky creative assignments, the goal is to reconnect with the fun and freedom of shooting—without the pressure of perfection or the itch for an upgrade.KEY TOPICS COVEREDThe Gear Myth and Creative Ruts - Raymond explains how photographers often blame their uninspiring work on having outdated or entry-level gear. He shares his own experience almost buying an expensive Fujifilm GFX100, only to realize his creative rut was due to not shooting, not his equipment.What Really Makes a Great Photo? - Instead of megapixels and advanced specs, Raymond outlines the four essential elements of great photography: moment, light, composition, and exposure. He likens the camera to a toaster—it's the photographer's decisions that determine the quality of the image.Practical Steps for Rekindling Creativity - To break out of gear-focused thinking, Raymond suggests simple exercises like going on a “camera date” with the least-used gear or imposing creative constraints. He also stresses the value of learning manual mode and studying light and composition.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTS• Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS): The compulsion to buy new cameras or lenses as a solution to creative blocks or skill limitations; often a distraction from the real means of improvement.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSThink back to your favorite photo you've taken—what role did your gear actually play in the outcome?Have you ever felt creatively stagnant and blamed your equipment? What actions could you take instead?What are some ways you can challenge yourself to see new possibilities with the gear you already own?Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

William Yang is one of Australia's most vital storytellers. For over five decades, he's documented queer life in Sydney -- its parades, parties, politics, and people -- through photography, performance, and prose. Born in 1943 in Far North Queensland, William came out as gay in the early 1970s during the wave of gay liberation, and later came out again -- this time as Chinese -- after reconnecting with his heritage through Taoism and travel. His landmark exhibitions and live slide shows, like Sydneyphiles, Sadness, and Friends of Dorothy, have cemented his place as a queer cultural archivist.I've wanted to interview William since beginning Tracks of Our Queers, and have  to thank Benjamin Law for connecting us. This is a special episode, recorded in-person at Forbes Street Studios in Sydney, and William shares five songs that resonate with him, and his life as a queer person.The other bits:Tracks of Our Queers is recorded and edited between Gadigal and Ngarigo land in Australia, by me, Andy GottListen to all of the music discussed in the pod with the Selections from Tracks of Our Queers playlistYou can email me your own queer tracks or guest recommendations at tracksofourqueers@gmail.comOur beautiful artwork is illustrated by Luke Tribe.Support the showI'd love to hear about your queer tracks.

THE GOING WAS VERY, VERY GOOD—I'm a writer and the former deputy editor of Vanity Fair. Now if you know anything about me, which statistically you don't, unless—shameless plug—you read my memoir, Dilettante, about my time at Vanity Fair and the golden age of the magazine business. Which, statistically, you didn't.The only reason I have a career at all is because of today's guest on Print Is Dead (Long Live Print). He hired me in the mid-nineties to be his assistant. Or as he likes to say, “rescued me off the scrap heap” and then, like gum on the bottom of his shoe, he could never seem to get rid of me.I'm talking of course about Graydon Carter, former editor of Vanity Fair, Spy, The New York Observer, and now co-editor and co-founder of Air Mail.He's here to talk about his memoir When the Going was Good—a title that, with signature understatement, suggests things were once better than they are now, which feels correct. But his book isn't just about magazines. It's about a time when media was glamorous and powerful and vital. When New York was still New York. When the world he had a hand in shaping still existed.It's not nostalgia, it's a public service, because Graydon didn't just edit and create magazines. He built worlds. He predicted the cultural weather. He made journalism feel essential, and more importantly, cool. I was lucky enough to work for him at Vanity Fair for almost 25 years, back when magazines mattered, when people still returned phone calls, and parties had seating charts instead of hashtags, when the media wasn't just people making videos about sandwiches, and when style wasn't a “brand CoLab,” and when you could still smoke indoors without a visit from HR.You know what? Hold on one second. “Hey! You kids get off my lawn!”Sorry. Graydon began as my boss, but quickly became a mentor, then a friend, and it's a friendship that continues to this day. So enjoy this conversation with Graydon Carter as he looks back on the chaos, the glamour, and the thrill of a better time. Back when, yes, the going was very, very good.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

You know—the sunset, the summit, the perfect smile. Until I took a trip with a friend who'd studied under National Geographic photographers. Day one, we hiked for hours to a viewpoint. I pulled out my camera, lined up the shot, and BAM—caught the golden light perfectly hitting the valley. I was thrilled. My friend, though? He didn't even blink. “Cool,” he said, “But where's the rest of the story?” Turns out, he wasn't just snapping random cool shots—he was building a five-frame story: who, what, where, when, and why. And suddenly, that single “epic” shot of mine felt... empty. I watched him plan his shots before we even set up camp, getting up before dawn to catch headlamps in the dark, positioning himself on the other ridge for the silhouette. It wasn't luck. It was intentional, strategic, and powerful. Principle Your travel photos shouldn't just be pretty—they should speak. One great image is nice, but a well-crafted story in five frames? That's unforgettable. The real magic happens when you stop chasing moments and start anticipating narratives. Transition The problem is most people don't know this. They think epic shots just “happen,” or worse—they wing it and hope for the best. But capturing adventure isn't about waiting around with a camera. It's about preparing like a storyteller and thinking like a guide. If your photos aren't landing the way you hoped, it's not your talent—it's your approach. That's Why That's why this week's Thursday Drop with Sergio Ballivian is a must-listen. We're breaking down the mindset behind visual storytelling on expeditions—how to capture moments that speak volumes without needing eight months or a magazine budget. Whether you're heading to Bolivia or your local hiking trail, these are the mental shifts that'll upgrade your storytelling forever. Call to Action (PAS Framework) Still coming home with 300 photos and no story? That's the pain. Worse—you're not even sure what you're missing. That's the agitation. The solution? Tune in to this week's Thursday Drop and finally learn how to tell the story your photos deserve.

Just as we're hitting the 10th Anniversary of Federal Marriage Equality in the US, Dennis is joined via Zoom by Frankie Frankeny, the driving creative force behind the gorgeous and comprehensive new coffee table book Love: The Heroic Stories of Marriage Equality. Frankie recalls how she first became passionate about the cause of marriage equality decades ago, doing entensive research for the book and discovering stories she never knew before and her hope that the book will be available in schools so queer kids can learn their history in a way that her generation never did. She also talks about contributing her own photos to the book and her hopes that, aesthetically speaking, the book will be something two lesbians in Tennessee or the chic designer Tom Ford would be proud to put on their coffee table. Other topics include: the pressure LGBT couples involved in court cases feel to be perfect and the stress that puts on a relationship, attorney Evan Wolfson's emotional Harvard thesis on the topic, boundary-pushing straight allies like Phil Donahue, Joe Biden and Gavin Newsom, her successful career as a cookbook photographer and why she loves that work and coming out for the first time as a kid to her beloved pet dachshund by saying, "I'm going to have a wife one day." www.justmarried.us
