I think what I have to say and what a lot of older photographers have to say is still relevant, especially the Magnum photographers who have embraced the Magnum spirit and the Magnum approach. I think it will be forever valid because the world is only changing superficially. We still have people, human beings, and it is really about the human condition which is the main subject of Magnum photographers
Michael Williamson is an award-winning photographer at The Washington Post. He was a finalist for the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for his photographs of food stamp recipients and their struggles. Williamson answered questions about his work on poverty through the years.
It’s not just about making beautiful photos. There is a beautiful, universal truth everywhere and, if you peek under the veil, you’ll find a wondrous commonality between us. I hope that you will use your camera not just as an extension of your eye but also as an extension of your heart.
Sometimes people assume that you can have access to everything, that you can see everything. But the fighters are virtually invisible to us. What we do as photographers is document what we can to show that side of the war
In western Burma, state crime experts warn that a genocide may be unfolding. Since June 2012, numerous bouts of violence between Buddhist and Muslim communities have forced more than 140,000 ethnic Rohingya Muslims into camps and ghettos, from which they
Bangkok-based photographer Greg Constantine has spent years documenting stateless communities around the globe. His latest book, ‘Exiled To Nowhere: Burma’s Rohingya,’ was published in 2012
Matt Eich is a young American with a passion for photographing the people of the land that he calls home. Having recently exhibited his series, The Invisible Yoke, in New York, Alia Thomas caught up with him to find out more about photographing the American Condition.
We emailed Art Buyers and Art Producers around the world asking them to submit names of established photographers who were keeping it fresh and up-and-comers who they are keeping their eye on. If you are an Art Buyer/Producer or an Art Director at an agen
I give the same advice someone gave me — shoot what you want to be hired to shoot. If you are inspired by your subject, it will show. If you aren’t, and you are doing it for the wrong reason, it comes from the wrong place and I think that shows as well.
Social media is supposed to be the realm of the young, and in this realm, Instagram reigns as visual king. It’s easy to imagine skinny jean-wearing hipsters snapping filtered squares of their perfect lunches and summer skinny dipping soirees. So it might
Jim Richardson (@JimRichardsonNG) is a contributing photographer to National Geographic and has shot over 25 stories in a storied 30-year career. Although he continues to work for the magazine and pursue personal topics of interest like light pollution, Richardson has also amassed an Instagram following of over 80,000 people – outpacing the majority of his contemporaries, as well as online photo “celebrities.”
Oh sure. I like street photographs. Or candid photographs in public. But you asked about street photography and I assumed you were talking about the culture that has developed around it, especially online. That I don’t like.
When I started doing color and flash and then joined Magnum, I ran up against the rules that were quite literally laid out by Cartier-Bresson in “The Decisive Moment.” He said we only use black-and-white, and we don’t use “little flashlights” because we respect the natural light. I ran into tremendous resistance to what I was doing in the late ’70s — not just within Magnum, but because no one was doing that in the photojournalism world.
So I had to push up against those rules, violate those rules and pay the price for it in order to do my own work.

Jennifer Schwartz of Crusade for Art is on a mission, trying to piece together the puzzle by connecting emerging photographers with collectors and galleries — one art CSA at a time – as well as providing grant opportunities for new projects. We caught up with the gallerist-turned-arts-evangelist who told us why now is the time for art and what we can do to protect it.
When I first spoke with him about how to make a living at it, his advice to me was pretty simple, “Throw everything into your photography. Put everything else aside.” At the time, I was a recent college graduate with no money, so it wasn’t difficult to put everything else aside — there was nothing else. I just jumped in with both feet and never looked back

I made “Less Americains” for a number of reasons but a major one was because I was getting sick and tired of this monumentalizing of Robert Frank’s “The Americans.” It was as if the book had become a biblical text that couldn’t be questioned. It was beyond reproach. I was thinking, “Hang on a minute. The discussion around that work is turning it into some sort of mythology. They’re just creating myths. And I really don’t like that. I react very strongly to that.

Emotion is the starting point but emotion can be cloudy and two dimensional on its own. I’ve tried to first let myself feel, then try to interpret what I’ve been feeling, then root it in the history of the medium and of human experience, which of course are two things that are cyclical but nonetheless leave plenty of room for freedom. They also help balance each other out. Sometimes the mind is terrifying and sometimes the heart is.
By Jim Colton“I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what’s next.”– Steve Jobs.
Gonzalez seeks to bring to light work by photographers from varied cultural backgrounds, bringing an ethnic component into the mix and Estrin features work from both historic and contemporary platforms. Although not restricted to just these genres, the variety is both refreshing and informative.
I first met the indefatigable Laura Moya almost a decade ago when I first attended Photolucida, one of the best portfolio review events in the world. Like every other photographer in attendance, I was nervous and not on secure footing. As Director of Ph
As Director of Photolucida, Laura was a shining light of calm and enthusiasm and if I could define her with one word, it would be: Grace. Sophisticated, knowledgable, and very, very capable, Laura (and the Photolucida team) has created programming for photographers that changes lives and launches careers
