“The series has proved to be one of the most original pieces of documentary journalism the World Service has aired.” Tony Phillips, Senior Commissioner, BBC World Service.
Open Eye is a unique cross platform series not about photography, but about the people and the landscapes with which photographers form deep and visceral bond.
The work is a collaboration between the BBC and duckrabbit. It was launched in January 2011 on the BBC World Service, BBC NEWS ONLINE, and made available to other websites and blogs through embedding and podcasting. The bi-media approach combines a radio documentary with a photofilm in each programme.
