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.'
The Travel Photographer

Multimedia producers the Bombay Flying Club have just published their latest piece, shot in Ethiopia.
At 11 minutes, Streetlight is a little on the long side for most armchair viewers, and the Flying Club’s trademark use of rich black and white photographs, while stunning, perhaps steals something from the overall piece. Their use of audio is [...]

Very roughly some 2000 years ago we nailed some bloke called Jesus to a tree.
Nothing new about that. Nailing people to trees was a rather effective form of crowd control.
Since then though a lot of people have been following this Jesus bloke. One of his oft quoted mantras was treat other people people as you [...]

A few days back I exchanged emails with the photographer Stephen Alvarez, who for the last fifteen years has shot for National Geographic. He suggested we take the conversation onto our blogs.
If you’re not aware of his work than I would say it is characterized by being both hard won and sublime:

It’s one of those moments you don’t forget.
This term I’ve been a guest lecturer at Birmingham City University. I sat twenty students down in front of one of the four videos we’ve been producing for MSF (more of that in a [...]

The headline on the BBC website reads:
In Pictures: Rebuilding Wrecked Lives After Sierra Leone’s civil war
Sounds interesting?
Then I flicked to the set and found another story to the one sold to me in the headline.
There’s nothing technically wrong with Nick Danzinger’s black and white pictures of people from Sierra Leone except that it [...]

If you have no knowledge about East Africa you might actually believe a statement like the one written above presumably by the photographer Stephano de Luigi on the VII website.
I’m wracking my brains to imagine how he (or someone else) could have got it so wrong, and how no-one else has spotted it? Of course [...]

has been posted by Paul Melcher on the Black Star Rising blog. You can read the full post here. duckrabbit doesn’t entirely agree with him. I think its actually a bit of a cliche that NGO’s only show pictures of despair coming out of Africa. Actually I think a lot of what they show is [...]

A photographer whose work I’ve come to admire greatly is Sanjit Das. He and I briefly worked together on a job for the NGO Action Aid in Delhi last summer, and since then I’ve been watching his output with interest – and not a little envy. He is a serious talent.
Anyway, the other day I [...]

Think of Africa and you envision wild animals, conflicts, starving kids and suffering. On a whole, this continent hasn’t had the best of times in the past few hundred years. Whilst for some it might be a fact of life, for others it’s a rite of passage in an industry that thrives on misery and [...]

Having just seen the winner of The Press Photographer’s Year, I completely understand now why Kenyan photographers get totally pissed off so many of the photography jobs go to visitors to their country (NGO or otherwise).
The argument being that outsiders are better equipped to deliver (yeah right).
The winners photo was taken in Kenya. The shot [...]

When duckrabbit lived in Ethiopia the radio programmes that I managed regularly told stories of women and children who had been the victims of sexual violence. The stories were horrific. To say that that the problem is endemic is to put it mildly. Sexual violence against women and children is rampant the world [...]
