OverExposed
Sorry for the silence. But anyway, where were we…
There’s a very thought provoking, slightly sad, but very interesting Radio 4 programme worth listening to here on BBC iPlayer, produced by Miles Warde, and follows Miles as he, well in the BBC’s words “Miles Warde presents the story of a group of photojournalists who set out to witness world events. They went to Yugoslavia, Angola, Chechnya, Gaza and Iraq. Two of them were shot dead. A compelling portrait of youthful ambition and the power of photography to change the world.”
In it we hear Colin Jacobson (former picture editor of The Independent Magazine and the man who gave me many a job thankfully), my good friend from all over James Hill (Pulitzer Prize and WPP winner), Gary Calton of The Observer, Martin Beddall of The Guardian, and many others discuss the photography course they were on, and what happened afterwards, and the death of two of their colleagues (one of whom was Paul Jenks whom I never met, but I received an award in honour of many years back).
It’s 30 minutes long, take a listen. And seems to only be available on iPlayer for another 6 days. Listen here.
Thanks for the link, just finished listening. Really interesting, especially about the way war photography is changing.
