This should excite photographers: their skills sets are about creating beautiful images that work, and I think motion photographs will take more photographic skill than video skill

Today I’m posting something new, a short video that in a sense is an interpretation of work that I completed for National Geographic in North Dakota. The story, titled “The New Oil Landscape,” in the March issue of the magazine, focuses on the changes that a nearly unprecedented oil boom brought to this once isolated farming state

Photographers who produce spectacular images of Detroit, Chernobyl, and other ravaged areas have sparked disagreements whether they are exploiting others’ misfortune—or just covering the bad news

The grind and hustle of daily news photojournalism is no joke. Some people can be a bit sniffy about news photographers. Screw them.
As much as possible I try to ignore the haters and the artificial boundaries they construct in the photoworld
Zack Arias feels your pain: he too dislikes the businessman part of running your own business. If he could just photograph all day and not worry about the business, he would. Unfortunately, that’s not reality – and Zack learned the hard way. After almost

The Postcards from America project brings Magnum photographers together to work collaboratively documenting issues and people across the United States. Most recently, the project focused on the United States’ presidential election with a temporary ‘bureau’ set up in Miami, FL. The purpose was to look at the election through the perspective of people who would not or could not take part in the voting process. Magnum photographer Bruce Gilden provided us with his own insight into his work on the Postcards project.
A powerful documentary film about the risks for journalists operating in Mexico.
For a limited time at PBS.org, you can watch the full-length version of “Reportero,” an incredible documentary film about Jesús Blancornelas and Héctor Félix Miranda’s long-running Mexican newsweekly, Zeta. The environment in Baja California is so hostile — it is certainly one of the most dangerous places in the world for reporters — that the paper is printed across the border in Southern California to ensure its survival, and that of the people who run it

ALL of the F-bombs, audio and video glitches, awkward pauses and drunk teleprompter mimics are 100% how the show aired. No tape doctoring necessary. Enjoy what probably is the last time KDOC will ever do anything live ever again. OH, and the best part…the info said “Featuring Mario Lopez, Eva Longoria, Joey Lawrence and Jennifer Love Hewitt”. NONE of them showed up and instead they filled 90 minutes with Jamie Kennedy, a clearly high Macy Gray, and Bone Thugs N’ Harmony who didn’t get the memo not to curse.

In the days before Christmas, we asked the Snow Fall team about their process, and they responded with a mosaic of answers from their designers, reporters, developers, end editors.
Fresh powder beckoned 16 expert skiers and snowboarders into the backcountry. Then the snow gave way.

“The very thing the 16 skiers and snowboarders had sought — fresh, soft snow — instantly became the enemy. Somewhere above, a pristine meadow cracked in the shape of a lightning bolt, slicing a slab nearly 200 feet across and 3 feet deep. Gravity did the rest.

Vice photographer Robert King apparently lied on his Facebook page and Twitter in order to protect McAfee. Like McAfee, he claimed that the geodata in the photo had been manipulated to conceal their true location.
This explanation, of course, made no damn sense at all. If McAfee and King were trying to conceal their location by spreading disinformation, why immediately admit to it?

I’ve taken real pains to make sure there’s no political photography. There aren’t any portraits of Barack Obama or Mitt Romney, and no pictures of rally signs. Instead, I sought to make an anthropological study of America—not for this week, or for this past election cycle—but a body of work that future generations could look back on to get a sense of the country’s mood.
