duckrabbit posted this on January 18th, 2011 Obviously the top people at The World Press know a thing or two about how to run a competition. For their latest award, they’ve decided that the FIFA World Cup football selection model is the way to go. Well, not quite …
According to someone commenting on the duckrabbit the nominators of this years multimedia [...]
duckrabbit posted this on January 9th, 2011 Great little video about Street Photographer Matt Stuart who comes across as not just a wicked photographer but a top bloke.
Thanks to Olivier at BJP for sharing this.

duckrabbit posted this on January 4th, 2011 There are so many different ways to read this photofilm, so many layers, so many unanswered questions … which is what makes it so great.
Hats off to Ian Forsyth.

Iamnotasuperstarphotographer posted this on December 15th, 2010 This is inspirational stuff brilliantly executed so I hope they get nominated by the panel at WPP.
Look at how free they are with their use of a photographic frame!
That is not to say it is perfect, or that you will not see stuff that you might think “I can shoot that better” [...]
duckrabbit posted this on December 8th, 2010 Sophie Gerrard is a top top woman, and not a bad photog too!
How do I know? She’e been politely harassing David and I for the last year and then finally came on one of our photofilm summer courses. Just wish I had more students with her energy, enthusiasm and talent.
Here’s the film she [...]
duckrabbit posted this on December 6th, 2010 A little while back on old friend from the BBC got in touch to ask if I would spend some time talking with Sally Flatman, the producer of BBC Radio 4′s Christmas appeal. The appeal supports Connections (St Martin’s in the Fields) vital work with homeless people in London.
To cut a long story short [...]
duckrabbit posted this on November 23rd, 2010 Good to see David’s photofilm about the abandoned village of Imber finding a home on the BBC Website.
A big THANK YOU to the BBC’s Photo Editor, Phil Coomes for publishing the story.
Iamnotasuperstarphotographer posted this on November 16th, 2010 Bet you had a snoop around people’s homes – admit it!
Just try getting model releases for this baby. At least Londoner’s can say these people got the grey weather right.
This is one way of staying in front of the technological curve in the face of inevitable competition. How am I supposed to tell [...]
duckrabbit posted this on November 2nd, 2010 In many ways sound is the ultimate visual medium. When we listen to something, or someone, we create images in our mind.
One of the clichés of photography, particularly humanitarian photography, is that it gives people a voice. Watch the video on the front page of the VISA website to see exactly what I mean. [...]
duckrabbit posted this on November 1st, 2010 Last month duckrabbit had over 44000 visits.
To top it off I got this email this morning from Kelvin Brown, one of the photographers who recently attended a duckrabbit photofilm workshop.
‘My photo film about Cross Bones has been published on the BBC website. Thanks a stack for your advice on how to improve. And [...]
duckrabbit posted this on October 26th, 2010 Contrary to IAMNOTASUPERSTAR’s last post, not every NGO wants photographers to paint the world their way.
Over the last year duckrabbit has been training some of the communications teams from MSF to produce photofilms. Not because they want another tool to manipulate you into giving them cash, but because they genuinely want to give a [...]
duckrabbit posted this on October 19th, 2010 On paper Pete Masters is the web editor of MSF UK, and although he is a bit of a geek, Pete is so much more … he’s duckrabbit’s best ever student.
Now whilst MSF go into really troubled places and save lives (and a lot more), Pete isn’t all humanitarian, because secretly on the [...]
duckrabbit posted this on October 6th, 2010 It’s an argument sometimes given by supporters of the most visually gratuitous forms of photojournalism that we need to see the full horror to understand the ‘truth’.
A woman’s husband is taken out and shot.
Are you really prepared to make the argument that by witnessing the event, and presenting it back to me on [...]
Iamnotasuperstarphotographer posted this on September 30th, 2010 I am going to start off by asking the question “How can ‘photofilms’ avoid being classified as ‘cheaper films’ by the film community?”
I am honoured to be able to be part of this progressive discussion on what happens next for photojournalism.
Much negative stuff has come from dealing with the problems of the [...]
duckrabbit posted this on September 30th, 2010 Making the transition from still photography to videography is bloody hard. There are no short cuts. But rarely has someone made the transition so convincingly as Chinese based photographer Sean Gallagher. Armed with a grant from the Pulitzer Centre he’s been investigating the plight of the Chinese alligator.
Watch his short film and then read [...]
duckrabbit posted this on September 28th, 2010 One of the great things about teaching on the Masters in Photojournalism at the London College of Communication is that I come into contact with some very talented and switched on people. Many of my students, with a lot of sweat and more than a little luck, will go on to do great things.Hannah Lucy [...]
duckrabbit posted this on July 30th, 2010 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 [...]

duckrabbit posted this on July 12th, 2010 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.
‘The 30th Street Men´s Shelter, otherwise known as Bellevue, is New York City’s largest homeless shelter. A combination of mentally ill, parolees, substance abusers and people simply down on [...]
