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.'

There’s a bag piper who stalks the streets of Kings Heath, where duckrabbit lives. Well there was until he disapeared a few weeks ago. Turns out the local mafia put his feet in concrete and dropped him off Spagehtti Junction during rush hour. Can’t say anyone was too outraged because when he was about the [...]

This is a really well produced documentary by Jesse Morgan and a great example of how you can mix up stills and moving images.

duckrabbit are teaching a short module focusing multimedia storytelling on the Masters photojournalism degree course at LCC (starting tomorrow)
Paul Lowe, who heads up the course, is a great supporter and advocate of digital storytelling. The fact that he wants to prepare students for life after print is rare amongst university educators (nudge, nudge Newport).

I have to say, I think Magnum in Motion are really on top of their game at the moment. For something like the third time in as many weeks they’ve produced a beautiful little multimedia piece, this time about 2nd tour soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Shot by Peter van Agtmael – do check it [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’m not – on the whole – personally a fan of multimedia pieces where the photographer talks over his own work.
But I’ll make a big exception for this one from Magnum’s largest character, Bruce Gilden, who says there’s a gangster in all of us.
What a start to the weekend.

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. [...]

At duckrabbit we have the utmost respect for the people at Daylight. Michael Itkoff does a remarkable job pulling together thought provoking photo stories and some superb multimedia. Issue 8 is out on Thursday.
Can’t recommend these guys highly enough.

I’m not sure whether the photos here just don’t fly past too quick to take them in. One or two of them were really urging me to stop and think, but before I could get my brain whirring we were somewhere else.
That said this is really strong work in lots of ways and respect [...]
