What they say about duckrabbit: 'One of the hazards of publishing a well-known photojournalism blog - getting multimedia like yours, where the photos are both powerful and moving, and I end up in tears at my desk.'
Alan Taylor, Boston Big Picture)
'David White's multimedia work with duckrabbit is very exciting.'
Kate Edwards (Guardian Magazine Picture Editor)
'I am a fan of duckrabbit. I am not a fan because I agree with everything Ben has to say, but because he says it without frills and then will spend the time necessary to engage the consequent discussions. Such commitment is a priceless commodity.'
Prison Photography
'I met one of them at an academic conference in the summer. He was the sanest person there, but sure enough by damn gadnabbit ruffled more than a few fluffed up peacock feathers.'
The Photography Pages
'If you haven't seen the duckrabbit blog on multimedia you should.'
Stephen Alvarez
'duckrabbit has done another jaw-dropping job with Condition Critical, a highly commendable and important project for Medecins Sans Frontiers.'

Just read some interesting views from Jean-Francois Leroy, founder of Visa pour l’Image. He is talking about how agencies have helped kill photojournalism. He has some interesting points, it’s worth a read.
I was also struck by this line: “The festival will also host multimedia projects for the first time. ‘We’re not doing it because it’s fashionable, [...]

I don’t know much about ha-ha’s, but they make me laugh (drum roll please). My gaff’s not big enough to warrant such extravaganze, but I was at a wedding at the weekend (see below) and there was a ha-ha there. I had taken along my Leica and a few rolls of c41 black and white. I [...]

Seriously, I went to a quality wedding last weekend. I had a great day and it was a beautiful venue, and the couple getting married are alright too…;)
I took along a camera for fun, and got some sweet shots. It is [...]

Last week I gave a presentation of duckrabbit’s work at DFID Pakistan. One of the questions that came up was whether you should use voice-overs or subtitles when someone foreign is speaking in their mother tongue?
Nine times out of ten its a no brainer. The voice is so important.
Its not just what people say but the [...]

A few months ago I emailed a friend of mine who works in the Kibera slum in Nairobi suggesting they take a look at an amazing set of photos by Jehad Nga taken in the same slum.

Instinctively I knew the [...]

Congratulations to Adam Westbrook for losing his multimedia virginity on this ambitious project:

The BBC website has over the years given photojournalism a hard time. Great photos have often been displayed so poorly that they are rendered meaningless.
Lets face it when it comes to pictures SIZE MATTERS.

of James Nachtwey’s photos in Afghanistan, taken for the Red Cross.
Why?
Because they don’t seem to think the photos are good enough to present as stills. Instead they’ve got all those stomach churning Ken Burns effect going on. Seasick slideshows we call them at duckrabbit.
The point about a still photo is that your eye explores it. When [...]

‘Viewing Restricted: [Re]presenting Poverty is a major new exhibition which sets out to explore different notions, representations and manifestations of ‘poverty’ within a global context. ‘
That’s the kind of introduction I’d have gently persuaded the journalists I’m training in Pakistan at the moment to dump.
But if you think that was a bit over written get your [...]
