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.'

“In times when (some) photographers hold celebrity status, it is useful to be reminded that a good photograph does not solely depend on the photographer’s ability to choose the right subject, location and light, but also on the chemistry and the collaboration, between photographer and subject…Despite my deep sympathy for socially inclined photographers, when the [...]

One of the things we feel strongly at duckrabbit is the importance of the web in giving people a voice who otherwise wouldn’t be heard. Its important if the world is ever going to move on from the belief that what keeps people alive in developing countries is our pity and our cash.

Following on from Platon’s recent civil rights portraits in the New Yorker, Magnum’s Bruce Davidson looks back at his time documenting the period in Time of Change, a short yet effective multimedia piece on In Motion.

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 [...]

Some photography creates distances, puts the people in the pics out on some distant horizon you’ll never reach, nor would you want to. Other photography closes the gap, creates understanding and feels like a genuine conversation. Mostly, but not exclusively, that’s the photography I love and that’s the photography Tiana Markova-Gold creates.
I first came across [...]

Don McCullin is not only a great photographer but he’s also a great talker. I caught him this morning on the BBC’s TODAY programme. It was a powerful listen. Important too to hear a photographer talk about the cost to his mental health of the work he does. The BBC are hosting an audio slideshow:

This powerful audio slideshow is brought impressively to life by Olince Calixte, a blind street musician from Port au Prince.
It’s also a journey from pain, trauma and shock through to the first signs of recovery. For me it tells a much more balanced story of the aftermath than many sets of photos out there. [...]

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 [...]

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful work. Would have loved to have read the text that went with.
Please take note … that’s the work of a proper multimedia journalist.

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:

Oxfam have billed it as possibly the most important meeting in history. And it probably is, until the next one.
We are of course talking about the Copehagen Climate talks.
But after a week of, well not a lot, do people care?
Take a look at David’s pictures in the post below. All snapped in a couple of [...]
