So it's not so much going in with a preconceived notion. You obviously go into most stories with some idea of what you're going to do, but every idea I have, that work in itself almost reveals or tells me kind of what it should be.

WeTransfer x TalkArt special episode! We meet photographer Robin de Puy. This episode is brought to you by our friends at WePresent, the Academy Award winningarts platform of WeTransfer. Collaborating with emerging young talent to renowned artistssuch as Marina Abramović, Riz Ahmed and Talk Art's own Russell Tovey, WePresentshowcases the best in art, photography, film, music, literature and more, championingdiversity in everything it does.In this episode we'll be speaking to acclaimed photographer Robin de Puy about her newproject AMERICAN, a collaboration with WePresent, which is an unflinching portrait of adivided nation. AMERICAN shares Robin's unique perspective on the often-overlookedfaces that represent the country's incredible diversity and complexity, and poses thequestion: What does it mean to be American?Visit: https://robin-de-puy-american.wetransfer.com/Follow: @Robin_De_Puy and @WePresentRobin de Puy's (b.1986, the Netherlands) photographs start with a desire to tell her own story through the faces of others. Whether it's the freckled adolescent she noticed whilst refuelling in Wyoming, the Dutch author, poet and columnist Remco Campert, or the boy Randy she met in Nevada whilst on her American road trip, de Puy sees the camera as an aid to understand the deeply personal traits and histories of each person, and how they also reveal something about herself. Many of her encounters are fleeting; a heartfelt glance into the life of someone else before time resumes its frantic pace. In others, as with Randy, those same transient experiences blossom into profound and enduring relationships. Regardless of which ending they have, de Puy's photographs are always imbued with a sensitivity and timelessness that encourages a slow gaze on the human condition. Her images are chances for genuine human connection, and through sharing with them with the world, allow us to take part in such moments.Robin de Puy studied at the Fotoacademie Rotterdam and has been exhibited internationally at institutions and galleries including; Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht (2018); Museum Hilversum, Hilversum (2017); The Hague Museum of Photography, The Hague (2016); Stedelijk Museum, Breda (2016) and Photoville, New York (2016). Amongst numerous other awards, De Puy was the winner of the National Portrait Prize in both 2013 and 2019. Her work is held in major public and private collections including Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht; De Nederlandse Bank, Amsterdam; Museum Voorlinden, Wassenaar; Centraal Museum Utrecht, Utrecht; Fotomuseum Den Haag, The Hague; Huis Marseille, Amsterdam and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The Hague.

So while the family was in the kitchen hanging out and enjoying each others company I capture this candid of her just observing. (Alfield Reeves) Deborah Seidman's Are you running away from home? Chelsea, Manhattan NY: Taken in September on a side street of Manhattan. Begs the question of running away, homelessness, hoarding. Which one is this? (Deborah Seidman) Karl Wagenführ's Death Defying Squirrel Out Our 12th Floor Window Hackensack, NJ: One day there was a knock on our balcony door; being as we are on the top (12th) floor of our building, this was odd. Looked out to see a squirrel on our porch trying to get in. It had climbed up our building, balcony to balcony, and was now panicked because it couldn't go any higher, and didn't know how to get down. This photo was snapped as it attempted to climb up from our window to the roof, which it couldn't manage because of the metal flashing to prevent exactly this. I finally had to persuade our panicked guest (with a broom) to go to the corner of the building, where it finally turned around, and climbed down the brickwork all the way to the ground. (Karl Wagenführ)

Quand on écoute son album, on a l'impression qu'elle nous fait des confidences. Une voix douce d'une pureté légèrement fêlée, posée sur les notes pop d'un piano délicat. Des mélodies et des mots qui viennent du cœur et font vibrer les cordes sensibles. Un soupçon de malice, comme pour adoucir la mélancolie romantique. Douze chansons comme un bouquet de teintes pastel et à vif, comme autant de notes colorées. « Toujours des fleurs », le premier album de Janie est sorti chez PlayTwo. Elle sera en concert au Café de la Danse, le 10 mars 2022, et d'ici-là en première partie de Vianney sur sa tournée des Zéniths et à Paris à l'Accor Arena le 14 décembre 2021. Et au menu du Café Gourmand aujourd'hui : → Fanny Bleichner va nous parler de l'adaptation de l'oeuvre de Stendhal à l'opéra Garnier, à Paris, sous la forme de ballet. Le chorégraphe Pierre Lacotte en propose une version très originale. → Carrie Nooten est à New York dans le hall d'entrée des Nations unies, où ont été installés des portraits géants de femmes qui jouent un rôle dans les négociations de paix. Cette exposition est montrée en même temps dans New York, sur les quais de Brooklyn, au festival Photoville… → Sébastien Jédor nous parle musique avec Ami Yerewolo, la rappeuse malienne qui raconte « les faits de société », première rappeuse à percer sur la scène hip-hop au Mali.
L'ONU s'est associée à des femmes photographes locales, qui non seulement documentent les histoires des femmes qui s'efforcent d'instaurer un climat de paix dans leurs communautés, mais font aussi face aux mêmes défis. Leurs photographies sont présentées au siège des Nations Unies à New York. Intitulée Quand les femmes prennent la paix en main, l'exposition met en lumière le travail des femmes qui militent pour la paix, au travers du regard de 11 femmes photographes du monde entier. Originaire de Bangui, en République centrafricaine, Leila Thiam est l'une de ces photographes. Elle a travaillé pendant plusieurs années pour la télévision nationale centrafricaine. En 2017, elle a réalisé son premier documentaire. Leila Thiam est fière de faire ce travail. Elle adore raconter les histoires à travers les images, les émotions, la vie quotidienne de son entourage.

On this week's episode of the B&H Photography Podcast, we welcome the founder and Executive Director of the Social Documentary Network, Glen Ruga, and photographer Sofia Aldinio, who is the recipient of the 2021 ZEKE Award for Documentary Photography, presented by the Social Documentary Network. As should be clear, our conversation today revolves around the Social Documentary Network, or “SDN,” and we learn about this community of documentary photographers and its website on which more than three thousand documentary series have been uploaded and are available for viewing. Ruga tells of the evolution of the site since its 2008 inception, and how adding classes, awards, portfolio reviews, and most important, the online and print magazine ZEKE has led to the growth of this platform, which is open to all photographers. Our chat also draws from Ruga's photography work and thoughts on documentary, in general. In the second half of the show we speak with Aldinio, a past guest, about “Awake in the Desert Land,” her photo series that received the ZEKE prize. Aldinio tells of the circumstances that brought her to Baja California, Mexico, during 2020 and this intimate series on village communities affected by climate change. We also speak with Aldinio about her working methods, about shelving her normal Canon system for a more stealth FUJIFILM, about making relationships with subjects, and the feedback and support she received from her SDN workshop leaders. We wrap by previewing the Social Documentary Network events and exhibits at Photoville 2021 and Aldinio's presentation on her award-winning series.

There is a vibrance, a joy, and a love for photography that one feels when speaking with Meryl Meisler. It's also very cool that by day she was a high school art teacher in Brooklyn and, by night, dancing and photographing at legendary clubs like Studio 54. Anyway, that's just how I see it. Of course, there's a lot more to Meisler's photography than just 1970s disco and 1980s Bushwick, and we talk about a wide range of subjects on this episode of the B&H Photography Podcast. Meisler's latest book, New York PARADISE LOST Bushwick Era Disco, is a wonderful look back at two very different versions of New York. It juxtaposes images she took in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bushwick and those in the clubs and discos of Manhattan. We speak about how photography starts conversations, and how we can feel more confident with a particular camera, whether medium format, FUJIFILM X series, or a Canon point-and-shoot. We also discuss editing and maintaining a large body of work over a period of decades, studying with Lisette Model, balancing a photography practice with a full-time job, and an upcoming exhibit of Meisler's work to be held at the same public school at which she taught. Join us for this uplifting conversation and check out Meisler's extended exhibition at The Center for Photography at Woodstock, through September 15, 2021.

Jasmine Clarke is a 25-year-old photographer born (and based) in Brooklyn, New York. She graduated from Bard College in 2018 with a BA in Photography. Inspired by the surreal qualities of our waking world, her images play with the tension between fiction and reality. Her images have been shown at Howard Greenberg Gallery in Manhattan and are currently on view at Photoville in Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Photo Vogue Festival in Milan, and the National Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta. When I look in the mirror, I want to believe that what I am seeing is an extension of myself even though I know that it isn’t. I’m seeing a reflection (an illusion) of me and my world. I can never quite trust a mirror. A picture creates a similar false sense of reality. The nature of photography tells us that what we are seeing is true, but it’s not. It is a selective truth, or even a fiction.One night in Jamaica, as my father and I drove through the mountains, he described a recurring dream: he is in his hometown, Saint Mary's, at a certain winding road that’s shaped like an N, trying to catch the bus. He misses it and has to run up the mountain through the bush and slide down the other side to catch it. This is his only dream set in Jamaica. He told me as we approached the N. I listened while chewing on my sugar cane. It’s strange hearing about a dreamscape while physically going through it—like déjà vu. I feel this sense of familiarity driving through my father’s dream. But what’s more overwhelming is the sensation of jamais vu: foreignness in what should be known. The moon you see, the air you breathe, and the flowers you smell are all suddenly unfamiliar. You’ve moved, traveled—maybe even transcended—although you don’t know to where. You look in the mirror and see yourself, but can’t be sure that it’s the same reflection you saw yesterday.This is why I photograph: to capture a trace of the unexplainable. My pictures are where dreams meet the physical world and earthly things take on higher meaning. I search for the uncanny. I uncover what is hidden. An obscured face, a wet flower, a dark shadow.http://jasmine-clarke.com/https://www.instagram.com/jasmineclarke0/?hl=enhttps://www.bard.edu/news/guardian-spotlights-work-by-grad-jasmine-clarke-18-in-photo-vogue-2020-11-10https://www.vogue.it/fotografia/article/photo-vogue-festival-2020-all-in-this-together-30-photographers-exhibitionhttps://photoville.nyc/the-lit-list-2020-photographers-to-watch-exhibit-hire/https://www.blueskygallery.org/upcoming-exhibitionshttps://www.photographersofcolor.org/https://twitter.com/photogsofcolorhttps://www.instagram.com/photogsofcolor/?hl=enhttps://fulbright.uark.edu/departments/art/https://www.instagram.com/uarkart/?hl=en

18. #TSPSP18 Robin De Puy on Travelling 8000 miles Across America on a Harley Davidson, Honest Portraits & Being CuriousRob De Puy (www.robindepuy.com | Instagram: @robin_de_puy)Robin de Puy's (b.1986, the Netherlands) photographs start with a desire to tell her own story through the faces of others. Whether it's the freckled adolescent she noticed whilst refuelling in Wyoming, the Dutch author, poet and columnist Remco Campert, or the boy Randy she met in Nevada whilst on her American road trip, de Puy sees the camera as an aid to understand the deeply personal traits and histories of each person, and how they also reveal something about herself. Many of her encounters are fleeting; a heartfelt glance into the life of someone else before time resumes its frantic pace. In others, as with Randy, those same transient experiences blossom into profound and enduring relationships. Regardless of which ending they have, de Puy's photographs are always imbued with a sensitivity and timelessness that encourages a slow gaze on the human condition. Her images are chances for genuine human connection, and through sharing with them with the world, allow us to take part in such moments.“A Joyous, Mysterious Portrait of Rural American Boyhood.” ~ The New Yorker about her project RANDYRobin de Puy studied at the Fotoacademie Rotterdam and has been exhibited internationally at institutions and galleries including; Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht (2018); Museum Hilversum, Hilversum (2017); The Hague Museum of Photography, The Hague (2016); Stedelijk Museum, Breda (2016) and Photoville, New York (2016). Amongst numerous other awards, De Puy was the winner of the National Portrait Prize in both 2013 and 2019. Her work is held in major public and private collections including Bonnefantenmuseum, Maasstricht; De Nederlandse Bank, Amsterdam; Museum Voorlinden, Wassenaar; Centraal Museum Utrecht, Utrecht; Fotomuseum Den Haag, The Hague; Huis Marseille, Amsterdam and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, The Hague.In 2015, de Puy took a 10,000 km road trip across the US on a Harley Davidson, making images that were published as the book If This Is True, I'll Never Have to Leave Home Again in 2016. The trip was documented by Simone de Vries and Maarten van Rossem, and the film was nominated for an International Emmy Award in 2017.Please enjoy!***If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts?

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". More about his seven feature films and music videos with notable artists on her Wikipedia page here.

Join the twins for an hour-long chat with Jamie Cobb, owner/photographer of Photoville, inside her studio in Arcadia, OK.She has been called so many great titles, but you will remember Jamie as "the hustler". Not in a derogatory manner in any way, but more of a term of admiration and maybe a little jealousy. After spending a few minutes with her, you will be tired of hearing about the daily routine and exhausted knowing Jamie runs a high octane, multi-faceted business focused on client experience 24/7. She doesn't stop.Jamie gets candid about the lack of business skills of most photographers and discusses the dead-end approach of "sit and wait for the call" that has many shooters scrambling for a part-time job.Buckle up for the episode you will need to listen three to 3 times to get all the gems Jamie will be laying down. We bet you will want more Jamie Joe time so check out Bedford Camera PhotoCon 2020 line up for her class "The Hustle".Be sure to follow her on social media:Website: https://www.rentphotoville.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rentphotovilleInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamiejcobbInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/rentphotovilleTwitter: https://twitter.com/rentphotovilleSnapchat: jamiejcobbVisit our YouTube Videos for more weekly inspiration!Connect on the Facebook Page for news and upcoming interview polls.Join the conversations on Flick appLeave a review on iTunes and let others know about the show.The Foto Twins love using Røde Microphones & RødeCaster Pro for smooth, quality audio on our podcast episodes.

A record number of women joined the ranks of the 116th Congress in the 2018 elections, and photojournalist Elizabeth Herman pitched the New York Times on photographing them. Along with portraitist Celeste Sloman, the duo photographed 130 or 131 women in congress in six days, and then worked with photo editors Beth Flynn and Marisa Schwartz Taylor to put together print and online editions that launched in January 2019.In this episode of Vision Slightly Blurred recorded live at Photoville 2019, Sarah and Allen have an in-depth interview with Herman and Flynn on how the project went from inception to execution, herding cats and convincing Republicans, and the associated book that is being published by Abrams on October 15, 2019.

"No one is advocating putting mediocre photographers forward just because they're diverse," Tara Pixley told us at a recent interview at Photoville 2019 in Brooklyn. Tara and Mengwen Cao – two board members of Authority Collective – stopped by to talk about their mission to help support, educate and promote women and non-binary photographers in what has historically been a white male-dominated profession.In this wide-ranging episode of Vision Slightly Blurred, Sarah and Allen (mostly Allen) learn some of the ridiculous and challenging situations that minorities contend with on a daily basis while simply trying to do their job of taking photos, and why diversity matters when telling a story through mass media.
Korean-born Jinhee Bae dropped by for a visit at Photoville 2019 to discuss shooting long-term photo projects, why she continues to use large format, the state of Korean photography, and even a little K-Pop (Can BTS save photography???).With a translation assist from photographer Sylvia Kang, Sarah and Allen chat with Jinhee in a surprisingly candid and refreshing interview.
Travis Fox, the Director of Visual Journalism at CUNY's Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, was inspired by Ta-Nehisi Coates' piece "The Case for Reparations" and decided that he wanted to help tell the story of systemic racism in the USA. But instead of telling the story from the ground, he took to the skies with his drones to show how practices like redlining of neighborhoods have created visible marks on the landscape. Rich neighborhoods abut impoverished ones by a single road, flood zones filled with low income housing, and highways that flow through impoverished areas with no ability to build a political fight.In this episode of Vision Slightly Blurred recorded at Photoville 2019, Sarah and Allen interview Travis about the impetus for the project, why a middle-aged white man is telling the story, and the future of drones in storytelling. It's an episode you won't want to miss.
Vision Slightly Blurred is recording live from Photoville 2019 at Brooklyn Bridge Park! For 20 years, PDN's 30 has been setting the bar for emerging talent within the world of photography. As a part of their 20th anniversary celebration, they've set up a container at featuring the work of both the 2019 cohort, as well as many past winners.Holly Hughes, PDN's long-time editor-in-chief and photographer Jessica Pettway join Sarah and Allen in St. Ann's Warehouse to talk about the nomination and selection process for PDN's 30 and how winning the accolade can change the trajectory of a career.

Her work has been featured in National Geographic, TOPIC, LensCulture, the Guardian and many more. She’s a National Geographic Explorer and a Top 50 Critical Mass photographer. Amy's photography has been exhibited internationally, including at Photoville in Brooklyn, Cortona on the Move in Italy, Brighton Biennial UK, and Arles France just to name a few. If you’ve ever dreamed of being published by National Geographic, this episode is for you. Amy talks about how a quest to know her father eventually led to two grants. She describes why she drove 10,000 miles around Michigan to meet and photograph ice anglers. We talk about her move back to Detroit to discover what place, home and belonging mean to her, and the surprising reaction to her ‘Roommates After 40’ project. I’m enamored with her month-long 250-mile NYC slow walk, where she photographed along every block from 1st Street to 110th Street on Manhattan’s east side. This is We Are Photographers with Amy Sacka and this is her story.
On episode 33 of Full Exposure, we sit down with Boston-based photojournalist and filmmaker Lauren Owens Lambert who documents her passion: the human aspect of conservation and climate change research.

"I left home because I was getting too comfortable. Comfortable with the type of work I was creating, comfortable around the people I had known for 29 years… " Lynsey Weatherspoon was in New York for Photoville after being named to the Lit List - 30 Image Makers To Watch by the Authortity Collective. Lynsey and I talk about leaving home and taking risks in order change your life and to pursue what you truly want to do. What you will learn about Lynsey is that she doesn't like to get too comfortable or complacent. She changed her home, she changed her profession, and she would start all over again if it seemed like the right time to do so. Lynsey and I also talk about some of her work on Negro League Players, the Gulla Geechee, and a series she did called the Last Cobbler.

Under starry skies, we took our recorders and headphones to a collection of shipping containers in Brooklyn, known as Photoville 2018 and Photoville did not disappoint—what a wonderful collection of photo exhibits. The exhibits span the breadth photography, but with an overarching theme rooted firmly in documentary and social justice photography. Many shows were sponsored—by the U.S. Marines, by magazines, universities, or collectives; others were curated by New York Public School children, and another by the New York Municipal Archives. As in years past, it was a wonderful, perspective-expanding experience run by people who love photography. We chatted with organizers and photographers from a handful of the exhibitions. First on today’s B&H Photography Podcast, we speak with Michael Lorenzini, from the Municipal Archives of the NYC Department of Records. Lorenzini, along with co-curator Matthew Minor, organized the exhibit “NYC Work and Working,” a beautiful selection of images from the collection of the WPA Federal Writer's Project. In addition to discussing the current exhibition, Lorenzini offers details on the Municipal Archive itself, its mission and the multitude of historical collections it houses. Staying in the New York groove, we met with the instructors and students from the High School of Art and Design and the High School of Fashion Industries. These photography programs, taught by Brenna McLaughlin and Ben Russell, respectively, have been a part of these high schools for decades and embrace traditional darkroom and digital techniques, offering work experience in photography, as well. The students were kind enough to wait for us to arrive after a long day of discussing their work with fellow students during New York Public School day at Photoville. Next, we speak with Pablo Farias, Isaac Guzman, and Vanessa Crowley of the exhibit, "conSEQUENCIAS/conSEQUENCES" presented by Bats'i LAB. This exhibit and its organizers are invested in creating a photographic community in Chiapas, Mexico. After a short break, we continue with photojournalist Ron Haviv and Dr. Lauren Walsh of The VII Foundation exhibit. The focus of our chat is their upcoming film “Biography of a Photo," which traces the impact of two photographs Haviv took earlier in his career, which have left indelible marks on the countries in which they were taken. Both photographs capture isolated acts of cruelty within societies in conflict, and do so with such resonance that they have become iconic images within those societies. Our next stop is the container curated by the Authority Collective and their exhibit “The Lit List: 30 Under-the-Radar Photographers," a show presenting thirty interesting photographers whose work deserves attention. We speak with one of the photographers, Arlene Mejorada, and organizers of the Authority Collective, which describes itself as a group of womxn, femmes, trans, non-binary and gender non-conforming people of color reclaiming their authority in the photography, film and VR/AR industries. Finally, we speak with Crista Dix of wall space creative, and artist Deborah Bay about their exhibit, “Internal Ballistics.” The work here is more accurately categorized as “art” photography, but its beautiful cross-section depictions of bullets and the abstract damage they create fosters an interesting debate about gun violence. Join us for this interesting set of conversations.

Lauren Welles is a freelance photographer based in NYC. Prior to becoming a full- time photographer, she spent 16 years practicing law. The same skills that were invaluable to her as an attorney-- the ability to problem solve, and to see something from multiple perspectives—have been indispensable to her career as a photographer. Lauren shoots many different kinds of assignments—events, portraits, editorial, street/documentary, and architectural/interiors. As a result, she has had the good fortune of meeting and working with many different people, finding stories in every-day life that demonstrate one’s humanity, and figuring out how to bring out the best in any subject. Her photography has been exhibited in various venues including "The Fence" at Photoville, NYC & Atlanta; the Museum of the City of New York; PhotoLeiden, The Netherlands, Umbrella Arts Gallery, NYC; The Center For Fine Art Photography, Ft. Collins, CO; Arsenal Gallery, Central Park, NYC; and the HistoryMiami Museum, among others. Her work has appeared in publications, including the New York Times, La Repubblica, Adore Noir magazine, the New York Law Journal, PDN Online, Rangefinder Magazine, World Photography Organization, the Phoblographer, Women in Photography and Street Photography Magazine, among others.

This week we took our mics and questions to Photoville, the free nine-day photography festival held in in the shadow of the beautiful Brooklyn Bridge. With exhibitions held in re-purposed shipping containers and on fences throughout the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn, not only does Photoville offer a variety of incredible photography series, but it integrates seamlessly into its urban home. In its sixth year, Photoville Brooklyn has grown to include evening programming, lectures, panels and workshops and, Photoville, founded and run by United Photo Industries, has expanded to seven cities with plans for three more in 2018. The wealth of visual storytelling at Photoville is impressive—in our afternoon visit we saw exhibitions from every corner of the world, touching on the important issues of our day, and passing through all photographic genres. While there, we spoke with several photographers and curators about their work, as well as Photoville co-founder Laura Roumanos. Join our conversations with Daniella Zalcman of Women Photograph on their exhibition “Insider/Outsider,” with Sergeant John Martinez of the United States Marine Corps, about the series “Battles Won,” and with the Director of Photography of The Player’s Tribune, Nate Gordon. We also speak with Rachel Dennis of Talking Eyes Media, about their multimedia exhibit “Newest Americans,” organized in coordination with the Center for Migration and the Global City at Rutgers University, Newark, and the VII Photo Agency. Photography festivals and workshops are a gift to photographers and non-photographers alike. Join us as we find inspiration and motivation from the incredible image-makers found at Photoville and, if you are in New York, check out all the exhibitions and activities yourself, from September 21-24, 2017. Guests: Laura Roumanos, Daniella Zalcman, Nate Gordon, Sgt. John Martinez, and Rachel Dennis Please see our home page for more information and photos from Photoville https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/podcast https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/b-h-photography-podcast/id1052860428?mt=2
"That very same day that I started I was shot by an Israeli soldier. I was shot with an…M6 or M16 rifle…and I almost certainly should have died..." Yola Monakhov Stockton has so many great stories to tell. Born in the former Soviet Union, grew up in NYC, became a conflict photographer, got shot, transitioned to the art world, published a book, and now teaches in Buffalo. Kai and Michael had a fantastic, and a touch long, conversation with Yola just after she finished up her panel discussion at Photoville on photography and education.

The STM guys are back together and they're just a little on the rusty side. Tom made it safely across the country to his new home base and Antonio fired up Skype and Street Shots is back in business. Now that they're separated by 2,000+ miles, they realize how important it is to maintain a sense of community between them despite the distance. In this episode the Switch to Manual guys talk about the value of larger photographic community, both as a source of inspiration and just plain fun. From the NYC Photo Expo to Brooklyn's Photoville and small meetups in between, communities of shutterbugs offer great opportunities to learn and share your work.
