I have to say, I think Magnum in Motion are really on top of their game at the moment. For something like the third time in as many weeks they’ve produced a beautiful little multimedia piece, this time about 2nd tour soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Shot by Peter van Agtmael – do check it [...]

“I don’t think there is any one photograph that can encompass the loss that people suffered. I think there comes a time when you need to have a group of images or a combination of words, of audio, video and stills to hit you on all senses for you to really [...]

The BBC has a great audio slideshow today featuring the voice and photos of former Grenadier guards officer Cpt Alexander Allan who spent six months in Afghanistan. It’s wonderfully human and intimate – much more so than anything I’ve seen by any embedded photographer. Five minutes well spent.

Ever wondered what it takes to get the photographs of world-class skiiers as they whizz by? Probably not, but the Winter Olympics starts tomorrow in Vancouver and to mark the occasion, the New York Times Lens blog shows us how it’s going to look – and how cold it’s going to be – from their [...]

It’s difficult to squash a big subject like the US civil rights movement into a 15 minute multimedia piece but Platon’s current project for the New Yorker at least offers a taster so anyone with an interest will hopefully look into the era more deeply. Contemporary portraits of some of the (often very elderly) surviving [...]

Photographer Stephen Ferry has spent the best part of a decade documenting the brutal Colombian civil war. Its population is terrrorised by both the left-wing guerillas and the right-wing paramilitary groups (who are often linked to the government and police) and their shadowy successors. The conflict is not only ideological – the lucrative drug business [...]

I feel off-balance, and unable to keep up with the pace of the life unfolding in front of me. There are a million obvious images, but none that feel right to a frame. I see and yet I cannot find. I struggle to look, but yet I sense that I am not looking in the [...]

I’m not – on the whole – personally a fan of multimedia pieces where the photographer talks over his own work.
But I’ll make a big exception for this one from Magnum’s largest character, Bruce Gilden, who says there’s a gangster in all of us.
What a start to the weekend.

Sadly people are not really interested in the photographs I take of a rather depressing side of our society – Don McCullin.
In 1989, British photojournalist Don McCullin approached the current affairs programme Newsnight with the idea of a highlighting the growing problem of London’s homeless – a short film that can now been seen on [...]

Whatever your thoughts on the mass media scramble to Haiti over recent weeks, there’s no denying the effectiveness of this panorama of the destroyed Notre Dame cathedral in Port au Prince, by NY Times photographer Fred R. Conrad.
The archbishop, Joseph Serge Miot, was among an estimated 200,000 people killed in the devastating Jan 12 earthquake.

BBC Radio 4 has been thinking about photojournalism over the past 24 hours:
Are Haiti pictures too graphic?
Save the Children aid worker Ishbel Matheson and former Guardian picture editor Eamonn McCabe discuss the question of “disaster porn” and whether you can tell the story properly without showing graphic images on the Today programme.
Meanwhile, Overexposed
tells the story [...]
