As far as I know of the situation, all the photographers were very respectful of the situation. As I mentioned before, I did not experience any sort of backlash from the people we were photographing at all.

As for “new documentary,” I find some of these approaches of interest, particularly the focus on a more distanced “aftermath,” rather than “decisive” moments of engagement. I still feel the dividing line is when photographers re-enact, which is closer to the tradition of docudrama than reportage. Sometimes it is very effective but defining the difference is still important to me.

Who was your mentor? Many responded with stories of experienced photographers who had generously shared their knowledge and thoughts about photography, creativity, how to run a business or simply how to make a life as a freelance photographer. We learned that in taking the time to teach a fellow photographer, they not only helped an up and comer, they also learned something themselves.

On a 2006 trip, Ryan Pyle decided to focus his camera on the disappearing culture of China’s remote western Xinjiang province. He says, “The culture is vanishing before my eyes. Each time I return something is missing—a market, an old shop full of blacksmiths, a local mosque. This cultural fabric will be lost forever.” Previously named Chinese Turkestan, the Xinjiang province is bordered by the Gobi desert and some of the highest mountain ranges in the world, making this location incredibly remote.

The winner of the World Press Photo Award 2010 was Pietro Masturzo’s photograph of a group of women shouting from a Tehran rooftop in protest at the Iranian presidential results. To be sure, this is not what the photo shows (how could shouting be shown anyway?), this is what we are told that it shows.

Recently, I’ve been thinking about war photography, and the moral arguments that commonly support it. I’ve been seeing people use those arguments to advocate for certain practices in photography in general, and I think there are problems with that.

“The Bathers” Photographs by Tatiana Plotnikova
Balbuki is a very ordinary village in Pskov Region, one of many small regions in western part of Russia. The local farmers who have lived and worked this land are being gradually being replaced with summer residents from nearest towns, and a lot of customary traditons are disappearing as well. This style of steam bath called Banya is one of the traditions that are being lost to gentrification. R
