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.'

Tonight I have followed Rabbit’s link to Jodi Bieber’s powerful and dignified photos of women in Afghanistan. I then went to look at the Editor of TIME, RICHARD STENGE’s, explanation of why he put the following photograph on the front cover:
‘Our cover image this week is powerful, shocking and disturbing. It is a portrait [...]

This is a powerful photofilm by Eric Johnson. Some strong photographs and perfectly recorded audio, proving once more that a simple approach is often best.

It’s one of people’s worst fears. To either lose your mind or watch the mind of someone you love slowly disappear. Phillip Toledano explored this photographically in his thought provoking website and book Days With My Father. The work is amongst the best you’ll find on the web.
Cathy Greenblat is another photographer who has been exploring [...]

Fantastic piece on the Guardian’s site about Chris Steele-Perkins’s images of England over the last 40 years.
His work is currently on show at King’s Place gallery. Londinium town.
This really is a wonderful window onto his work, the exhibition must look fantastic. I highly recommend you spend a few moments watching [...]

A few days ago I had the pleasure of watching back in class the work of some of my students on the Masters in Photojournalism at the London College of Communication. Both myself and John Easterby (who chaired the session) were blown away by the quality of some of the work by students who had never [...]

If you’re serious about making good multimedia you should really make it your business to spend 15 minutes on the New York Times‘ website every morning. And the Washington Post too for that matter.
Such serendipity led me to stumble upon this superb and powerful story about an entire community of people in Columbia affected by [...]

Interesting thoughts by Craig Butcher about whether enough is being done to make multimedia accessible to people with hearing impairments.
I have to mention that I am an advocate in web accessibility and am not clearly impressed by the current offering that audio slideshows that exists today. They are broken, literally broken, that it [...]

This is essential work that deserves widespread recognition. It’s not sexy because the people in the stories are mainly working class white people but it’s a template for in depth reportage on an important subject.

One of the hardest things about working for yourself as a journalist or producer is keeping in the habit of finding, researching and producing stories.
At first, you’re not as exposed to them as much as you would be in a newsroom. Inspiration is hard to come by. Good contacts even harder.
It’s easy this way to find [...]

This is an extract taken from a very interesting post by the wonderful photographer Stuart Freedman. You can read the full post on the excellent EPUK website.
The presiding styles of photo reporting
A cursory look through today’s newspapers, magazines and web sites reveals that two styles have come to dominate the modern photo documentary.
The first, a cold, [...]

Have you checked out the daily blog Someone Once Told Me?
It’s a collection of photographs where the subjects are holding up a phrase someone once told them, that has somehow affected their life. I included it in this list of collaborative photography projects, and was in it last year too (warning, rude words).
Well here is [...]

The BBC have featured some pretty surprising audio slideshows about life in Gaza and the West Bank, not least one duckrabbit features before about Palestinian Bagpipers.
Here’s an audio slideshow that will get Rabbit salivating (being an owner and restorer of classic cars):
Israel and Egypt’s blockade of Gaza means there are very few new cars in [...]

When Duckrabbit gave a mention to Carousel SlideSlam, Foto8′s new evening for photographers and multimedia producers, the warning was it: “could either be utterly sublime or pretentious crap.”
With such a plug I just had to go along to see for myself.
And the verdict: while it wasn’t utterly sublime, it was about as far from pretentious crap [...]

‘There is a decades-old criticism of the “outsider,” most often journalists from developed nations, arriving in underdeveloped nations to tell the story of “insiders.” Whether HIV/AIDS in sub–Saharan Africa, conflict in the Middle East, violence in economically depressed U.S. inner cities, poverty and alcoholism in Native-American communities or, currently, victims of the earthquake in Haiti, the [...]
