Based out of Cambodia for the past 13 years, Belgium born photojournalist John Vink, member of the prestigious Magnum Photos is known for his long-term photographic ventures. His works, conducted in different corners of the world, are instrumental in giving an insight into the daily struggles of humankind for shelter, water or simply, survival. Unlike many, Vink has taken the digital space in his stride and his works are available as photography apps and e-books. Vink talks to Emaho about his photographic journey through the years, documentation of the land struggles of refugees, Khmer Rouge trial and his views on minimalistic roles of a photographer in storytelling.

Large format is not only a craft, in that it takes one years of practice to gain a spontaneous fluidity with, but it’s also a way of seeing, a discipline that helps one to completely focus on image making in all senses of the phrase. It’s also to equal degrees both frustrating and meditating, even when one has a certain degree of mastery, yet by the same measure it’s a great antidote to the nearly reckless pace at which one can work digitally

A lot of what I do now is try to carve out every possible minute of the day to allow myself time to do my personal work. As we’re bombarded every day with more and more media, I find I have to make a concerted effort to fall away from the rest of the world, and its responsibilities where possible.

Later, a relative was flicking through the portraits, who has no idea about photography, and he said ‘So in a way the camera is playing God.’ That was it. With personal camera phones and security cameras all over cities now, nothing goes unnoticed. The camera is all seeing
Jim Blair is an innovator, but not in the contemporary, technology-focused use of that word. Jim’s photography particularly broke new ground in content for National Geographic from 1960 to 1994. He, along with a handful of other like-minded photographers, stretched what “science” could encompass by arguing that social and environmental problems should be included in the dialogue that National Geographic was having with its readers.

I failed a bunch of classes my first semester, I just took a whole semester of general education and absolutely hated it. Next semester I decided I was going to take photography classes, because my community college had a photo program which covered all types of photography. After a year, I had to a take a class called Photojournalism

I used to use a 400mm f2.8 lens for covering college football, in large part because we were stuck on the sidelines. My #1 lens for shooting Weird Sports is my Canon 35mm f1.4, in part because I’m not battling a sports information director for access. There are times like with Drag Queen Prom Dress Rugby that I was actually on the pitch taking photos with players flying around me.
