Ten years ago, Bulgarian photojournalist Svetlana Bachevanova invested her savings to launch FotoEvidence, then a web platform and photobook award competition dedicated to promoting photographic stories of social inequality. Twenty-seven printed books and seven digital monographs later, FotoEvidence has evolved as the only publishing imprint solely for stories about social injustice and human rights abuses.

Whether in a war zone or refugee camp, Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Lynsey Addario has spent her career on the front line armed with little more than a lens. While covering the Arab Spring uprising in Libya in 2011, Addario and her colleagues were kidnapped and beaten for days and their driver was killed. Her 2015 memoir, It’s What I Do, is a New York Times bestseller, and she put out a coffee table book of her photographs in 2018 titled Of Love & War. A native of Westport, Addario currently lives in London with her husband and two children.

When former Houses of Parliament photographer Mark Duffy heard a knock on the door at 8am on Wednesday, the 12th of February, he thought it was an Amazon delivery. Instead, he found eight black-clad police officers standing in his doorway, at their head a plain-clothes officer clutching a court order in search of “Pugin-designed furniture, candlesticks, ceramics, clocks or lamps” allegedly stolen by Irish-born Duffy from the House of Commons.

David Burnett, whose images from the Watergate hearings and Clinton impeachment have become iconic, will be on hand as the Senate decides the fate of Donald Trump.

For more than half a century, David Burnett has been photographing impeachments, wars, revolutions, Olympic Games, and artists, making himself one of the stars of his field. He got his start around the time of the moon landing, when he had the idea to take pictures of the people watching that historic event. A couple of years later he was in Vietnam, where he was present when the Associated Press’s Nick Ut took a legendary photograph of a nine-year-old girl covered in napalm. Burnett gained wider renown several years later for his work in Iran during and after the Revolution. Since that time, he has shot numerous sporting events, and compiled a book about the reggae star Bob Marley.

Women of the “Silent Generation” who paved the way. A tribute to and acknowledgment of the accomplishments of women photojournalists of the film era, through the decades, before the adoption of digital photography..
via Trailblazers of Light: https://trailblazersoflight.com
This site has been developed to acknowledge the accomplishments of women photojournalists during the film era, decades before the advent of digital cameras. Also referred to as “The Silent Generation,” it refers to a time when a few courageous women first entered the photojournalism work force and simply did the work without fanfare but with steely determination. They worked side by side with men on a daily basis at newspapers, magazines, wire services, and photo agencies. They reported from foreign war zones, the streets of our towns and cities across America, and everywhere in between. A generation of courageous and fearless women who embraced all that came with the job. For many the work came first.
