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 Vision and the Voice

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.

Rhubard with lashings of custard

You know how it is. Friday night you’ve planned to go somewhere but everyone else pulls out. It gets to about nine o’clock and you think can I really be arsed?  Nine times out of ten I’d lock myself away but a few Friday’s back I pushed myself out the door to go and have [...]

Dedicated to the one I love

I featured the work of Mishka Henner and Liz Lock on duckrabbit a couple of days ago. I was drawn back to a series on their website this morning called Dedicated to the one I love, which explores the lives of some of the 50000 young people in Britain who have become their parents carers.  [...]

OOH LA LA – Two students con Paris Match’s photojournalism prize

According to the BJP

‘French magazine Paris Match was the victim of a hoax when it was revealed that this year’s winners of its Photojournalism Award had faked their images.
