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.

‘Obsession, commitment, love‘, that’s how Anna Carter describes her relationship with Carter’s Steam Fair, the largest original touring vintage fairground anywhere in the world.
And that’s exactly what’s on show at a new duckrabbit exhibition at Reading Museum. Our photofilm ‘Fairground Attraction’, is being projected alongside fifty of Rabbit’s wonderful photos that capture the magic of [...]

Alongside photofilms, where you are guided through the story by the storyteller themselves, interactivity is another exciting way to tell photo stories.
The National Film Board of Canada is doing some sterling work in this area, combining stills with ambient audio – and then creating an interactive narrative for the viewer to explore in their own time.

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 [...]

“Year-round in Ghana, the sun sets at 6pm and rises at 6am – thus, the residents of communities lacking electricity live half of their lives in the dark. Over ten years ago, the government of Ghana began a massive campaign to provide the country’s rural north with electricity, but the project ceased [...]

For some time, Apple’s computers have dominated the creative industry’s workspace; their reliability, fast processing speed and ownership of some of the industry standard software (Final Cut Pro in particular) makes them the must-have for any journalist, writer, film maker, photographer.
Oh and they also look nice.
But Macs have one big flaw which myself and duckrabbit feel [...]

A couple of days ago David put up a post about ‘Something Beautiful’, a very personal photofilm by Ore Huiying. At the time I didn’t realize that Ore is one of the students I’ve been teaching at LCC (its a large group). I certainly know her now after she beat me up for not [...]

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 [...]

I was once spent a night in Blackpool when I was making a programme for the BBC about the fate of race horses when they can no longer win races. The programme was almost as depressing as Blackpool, but not quite.

When one of my students on the Photojournalism Masters at LCC asked me if he could send me his first multimedia feature I said sure. A decision I started to regret that when he told me that it was a ten minute feature on ‘Japanese Ferries’. It sounded like an exercise in self-indulgence.
True to my word [...]

Bloodyhell the photogs on the LCC photojournalism Masters are a talented bunch. Seriously. The downside is that my life seems to be being overtaken by requests to look at stuff.

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).

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 [...]
