Photographer Ken Light: Eugene Richards’ powerful approach

In a different approach to social documentary photography than the direct appeals of photographers Jacob Riis and Lewis Hine, Eugene Richards makes powerfully moving, yet journalistic images ranging from a deeply personal story, to crack cocaine, to guns, to wounded soldiers trying to blend back into society. According to photographer Ken Light, Richards is primarily interested in storytelling above all else. Ken points to the lasting power of images as what moves such stories.
