Laura Roumanos on Education Through Photography
At the 2019 Eddie Adams Workshop, Photoville co-founder Laura Roumanos discusses the ways that photography can be an important component of curriculum, and how she has worked to incorporate photography based educational content into the programming of her organization. Originally hailing from Sydney, Australia — where she graduated from the prestigious National Institute of Dramatic Arts— Laura Roumanos worked as a Producer and Arts Administrator before making the big move to NYC, to join the Manhattan Theatre Club. She then headed over to St. Ann’s Warehouse where she was the General Manager for several years, producing and presenting large scale international theatre, music and art events. Laura is currently the executive producer and co-founder of United Photo Industries and Photoville where she has produced over 300 photo exhibitions and public projects throughout the world including Hamburg, Tokyo, Lodz, Sydney and Shanghai, and has brokered partnerships with over 100 entities including National Geographic, Instagram, TIME Magazine, The Pulitzer Center, NYC Parks and NYC Department of Transport to name a few. UPI recently has been working with the United Nations and produced and curated 17 large scale exhibitions at the World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul and is working on a long-term global project on Migration to be completed in 2019.While spearheading UPI, Laura also recently served as the Senior Producer for the Future of Story Telling Festival in New York City and has in the last 6 years worked at various wonderful non-profit institutions such as Creative Time as their Senior Producer and has been Moonlighting as the Line Producer and Director of Operations for the World Science Festival on a freelance basis. Laura also continues to consult, manage, and produce numerous theatrical shows and events throughout New York City, including highlights such as producing Karen O’s new Psycho Opera for The Creators Project and VICE Media in 2011 at St. Ann’s Warehouse, and a subsequent tour to the Sydney Opera House.

Laura Roumanos has built a reputation in the New York Arts scene as someone to go to for consultation and advice regarding public art and multi-disciplinary projects across all mediums. The Eddie Adams Workshop is the only tuition-free photojournalism seminar of its kind. One hundred participants selected solely on the merit of their pictures team up with top professional photographers and editors for a four-day gathering that includes assignments, portfolio reviews, panel discussions and presentations. The Workshop began in 1988 with the goal to redress the exclusivity of professional opportunities by accepting students based on their demonstrated skills, and not on their ability to pay tuition. The all-volunteer faculty and staff, many of whom are alumni, are passionate about the mission and donate their time and expertise. The Workshop has an unparalleled history of nurturing talent, exchanging ideas and building relationships.

Visualizing the Climate Crisis Representing Ocean Acidification
In the visualization of the climate crisis, how can ocean acidification be represented? Ocean acidification is a change to the ocean’s chemistry produced by rising levels of carbon dioxide (CO2). The ocean absorbs about 30 percent of the CO2 that human activity releases into the atmosphere, and as levels of atmospheric CO2 increase, so do the levels in the ocean. When CO2 is absorbed by seawater, a series of chemical reactions occur that damage structures such as sea shells and coral skeletons. This harms calcifying organisms such as oysters, clams, sea urchins, shallow-water corals, deep-sea corals, and calcareous plankton. When these organisms are at risk, the entire food web may also be at risk. How can this phenomenon be visualized? How can visual storytellers work with scientists and develop a narrative that shows the problem and points the way toward solutions? What messages can have a tangible impact on a local and global level? How can we communicate the connection between issues in the Atlantic Ocean, the corals in the Philippines? and life and habits in Europe? To address these issues, Katherine Jack (photographer) and Octavio Aburto (research scientist) will be in conversation with Maria Teresa Salvati (founder and director of Everything is Connected). The talk will be moderated by Paul Lowe (Reader in Documentary Photography at UAL, London). This event is the first in a new series, Visualizing the Climate Crisis, which explores the potential and the role that contemporary photography, together with different disciplines, can have in addressing the multi-layered theme of climate change. The series will feature visual journalists doing evidence-based, research-informed, image-led reporting on climate issues. They will be in conversation with other professionals representing a diverse range of disciplines, such as science, policy-making, education, architecture, social innovation, media, and more. The starting point for each event is a specific topic for which two professionals will explore the possibility of thinking beyond photography in a genuinely trans-disciplinary approach to expand reach, involve the wider public, and move people from being inspired to taking action. This series is organized by Everything is Connected, UAL, University of the Arts London, and VII Insider.

"Yenis crossed jungles, deserts, chaotic cities and lonely towns. Slept on the open air among mud and the endless selvatic rains. Walked kilometers under a relentless sun while holding in arms her loved Diana, a little girl that was already the oldest of Yenis’ treasures, the other treasure was growing in her womb, getting bigger with each step towards the north Yenis Andrade and Alexis Matos, a couple from Maracaibo in Venezuela, together with their family, are part of the big wave of recent migration to the USA. A big wave of big numbers, headlines, and statistics but that is really made of human lives, persons with face, dreams, determination, and their own story. And with that same determination, but almost without knowing it, they arrived to New York. The little treasure was now a big belly that Yenis and Alexis pampered and cared for while running between shelters for migrants, cold, bureaucracy to regularize their situation, jobs and the attention to little Diana and her endless energy. All that while seeing that belly turning one day, by surprise, into another beautiful baby girl with roots in Maracaibo and the indigenous Wayúu community, this time a baby born in New York."

Award-winning photojournalist Lynn Johnson is a pioneer in the industry who was the first woman photographer on staff at The Pittsburgh Press. We sat down to talk with Johnson at the Eddie Adams Workshop, and in this video, she tells us a bit about her early days in the journalism business, and the resourcefulness that was required to break through the barriers created by sexism. Lynn Johnson was hired as the first woman staff photographer at the Pittsburgh Press. She stayed at the newspaper for seven years, and during that time she convinced the editors of the Sunday newspaper to let her do photo essays. Since then, she has climbed the radio antenna atop Chicago’s John Hancock Tower, clambered around scaffoldings with steelworkers, and lived among fishermen on Long Island and guerrillas in Vietnam. She has done in-depth portraits of celebrities including Stevie Wonder, Michael Douglas, Mr. Rogers, and the entire U.S. Supreme Court. She has also documented the story of the youngest face transplant patient in the U.S. Johnson is a National Geographic Photography Fellow and a regular contributor to National Geographic magazine. She is known for shooting elusive subjects—language, disease, rape, water—and for asking tough questions. Her gripping photo essays of a family struggling with AIDS, of children coping with the brain death of their mother, and transgender teens are classics of the genre. Among the pieces she has shot for National Geographic: the environmental issues surrounding cooking on open fires, our attitudes toward death, and the medical uses of marijuana. Johnson’s work has been exhibited at the Annenberg Space for Photography, the House of Memory in Milan, Italy, and Visa pour l’image (International Festival of Photojournalism) in Perpignan, France. She has led workshops for refugees in Colombia and for young people at National Geographic Photo Camps. She lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Eddie Adams Workshop is the only tuition-free photojournalism seminar of its kind. One hundred participants selected solely on the merit of their pictures team up with top professional photographers and editors for a four-day gathering that includes assignments, portfolio reviews, panel discussions and presentations. The Workshop began in 1988 with the goal to redress the exclusivity of professional opportunities by accepting students based on their demonstrated skills, and not on their ability to pay tuition. The all-volunteer faculty and staff, many of whom are alumni, are passionate about the mission and donate their time and expertise. The Workshop has an unparalleled history of nurturing talent, exchanging ideas and building relationships.

The BJPL–and the work the students make–is the heart of the BDC’s mission: to use community-based documentary practice and education to explore vital issues, stimulate critical thought, and drive social change. In March 2020, in response to the coronavirus pandemic, the BDC made the decision to suspend all programs and move to remote learning. Our students, who are used to working in a program based on the ability to go outside and photograph in the community, quickly learned to turn their lens to the vulnerable space of their private lives. They created visual and written explorations of their experiences during this time, using photography as a tool of reflection and connection with themselves, their families, and their communities. photoville.nyc/connection-and-reflection-during-covid-19/

Moderated by Christy Havranek of HuffPost, and Elie Gardner of The Everyday Projects, they will discuss their findings, their photographs, why they chose those specific places, and what their photographs may tell us as we collectively look for a roadmap to our futures. photoville.nyc/online/then-now-photographers-repicturing-their-archive-2020/

Jason Eskenazi - Storytelling and Visual Literacy
Photographer Jason Eskenazi, a Fulbright Scholar and Guggenheim Fellow, discusses storytelling and visual literacy through the extraordinary photographs he took for his book, Wonderland (which won the prestigious Pictures of the Year International Book Award in 2008). Jason illustrates what he calls the visual grammar of photography, which includes composition, light, perspective, and context, and how he strives to work within that grammar to capture images with an emotional resonance. See more interviews with Foundry Workshop Instructors: https://photowings.org/foundry-photojournalism-workshop/ The fall of the Berlin Wall led Eskenazi out of Queens into the larger world. After trips to Germany and Romania for their first democratic elections he traveled to Russia in 1991, just before the August coup that marked the end of the USSR, and has returned many times since culminating in a photography book project called Wonderland: A Fairy Tale of the Soviet Monolith, winner of Best Photography Book 2008 by Pictures of the Year International. In 2004 he received a Fulbright Scholarship to return to Russia to make a series of large format color portraits called Title Nation with a Russian colleague which will be published Fall 2010. Jason Eskenazi has received numerous awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship, 1999; The Dorothea Lange/Paul Taylor Prize, 1999, for his work in a Jewish Village in Azerbaijan; and The Alicia Patterson Foundation Grant, 1996.

The Camera at War: 170 Years of Weaponizing Photography, with Hilary Roberts
All forms of visual media are vulnerable to being manipulated or ‘weaponized’ in the context of modern conflict. However, the consequences of manipulating photographs are potentially far-reaching and long-term. In recent years, advances in digital technology have led many to question whether photographs of war and conflict can ever be trusted. The conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as other world events, have lent urgency to this debate. Drawing on an incredible range of imagery from the Imperial War Museum’s vast collection and other major archives around the globe, expert curator Hilary Roberts presents a new perspective on the role of image manipulation in this field over the past 170 years, exploring the consequences for our understanding of historic and contemporary conflicts. Join Ron Haviv in conversation with Hilary Roberts as they discuss the complicated relationship between conflict photography and the ‘truth’. The discussion will explore the application and legacy of photomanipulation techniques in conflict photography and the myriad ways in which layers of meaning can be added, erased, or changed completely.

Open-Source Intelligence - An Investigative Journalism Workshop
Open-source intelligence (OSINT), publicly available data sources used in the verification of information and events, is integral to the work of many investigative journalists. Increasingly hostile or inaccessible reporting environments, and the weaponisation of disinformation, have intensified the need for verifiable source information to ensure the authenticity and integrity of independent reporting. In this special extended online event, we examine the application of open-source intelligence strategies within media and justice contexts. This two-hour workshop will introduce a range of practical OSINT tools, consider accessibility and online safety, and examine case studies, including long-term operations within closed states and recent high-profile events across the U.S. and Europe, where OSINT tools have enabled critical forensic analysis and reporting. Join David Campbell in discussion with a panel of expert guests; Documentary filmmaker and investigative journalist, Sara Creta, whose research focuses on the intersection of emerging technology and human rights; Davide Piscitelli, Advanced Researcher at Forensic Architecture, a research agency based at Goldsmiths, University of London; and Francesco Sebregondi, architect and researcher specialising in digital investigation, particularly the use of visual and spatial analysis to document violence and human rights violations.

Despite a 20 year age difference, and undeterred by the physical barriers of prison, their love has unstoppable momentum. Intimate and nuanced, this short film visits the space between compassion and passion, revealing a man who transcends his crime and a woman who dares to break the rules. In the process, they shine a light on the practice of mass incarceration in the US. “Sheila & Joe” premiered at the Woodstock Film Festival in 2021 and received Second Place for Documentary Daily Life from Pictures of the Year International 2020. The film was published on NPR’s The Picture Show in 2021.

Arturo Soto – The Psycho-Geography of a British City
How can photography challenge stereotypes of a well-known city? Is it possible to picture the politics of a place? What are the costs and benefits of asking these questions from the position of the outsider? In this event, Mexican-born photographer Arturo Soto discusses these themes in his work about the British university city of Oxford following the controversial “Brexit” referendum that led to the UK leaving the European Union. Soto’s work has been published in his book “A Certain Logic of Expectations”, which is described as proposing a counter-narrative of Oxford. Drawing on psycho-geography, and using an interplay of words and text, the work reflects on the contested relationship between visual representation and the history and myths of a particular location.

Helen Cherullo – We Are Not Alone | Collaborations for Cause 2017
Images have played a decisive role in preserving wild places in North America for well over 100 years, and they are essential in campaigns to protect the Arctic, which few people will ever see firsthand. But images alone are not enough. Helen Cherullo, executive director of Braided River, and a dedicated Arctic protection proponent, will present the critical role of photographers, incredible imagery, and genuine coalitions in the “We Are the Arctic” campaign to date, and marching forward. Helen Cherullo is the publisher of Mountaineers Books and founder of Braided River. She believes that wilderness is sacred, and appreciated through beauty: if we capture the heart, the mind (and responsible public policy) will follow. She has worked with many of the continent’s finest emerging and veteran nature photographers and writers on books, media, exhibits, and events. Braided River collaborates with grassroots organizations and committed philanthropists to preserve the last remaining wild places in western North America—including the topic of her presentation—the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. In 2011 she received the “Voice of the Wild” award from the Alaska Wilderness League to recognize individuals whose actions, commitment, and contributions lead to greater awareness about protecting and preserving Alaska’s wilderness.

Roberto Hernandez – Documenting Injustice | Collaborations for Cause 2017
In 2009, a low-budget documentary film called Presumed Guilty was released in movie theaters across Mexico. The film tells the story of Toño Zúñiga, a man who was wrongfully convicted of murder in Mexico City. Through documenting his life in prison and his legal struggles to regain his freedom, the film made a compelling case for criminal justice reform in Mexico and challenged dominant policy narratives. The film’s impact was unexpectedly explosive. Its depiction of Mexico’s court system was so realistic and embarrassing that a federal judge issued a ban. In response to the censorship, the film was uploaded to YouTube and pirated DVD copies flooded the streets. Today, Presumed Guilty remains the most successful documentary in Mexican history. According to polls, one in every three Mexicans has seen the film. Layda Negrete and Roberto Hernández, the filmmakers, will discuss their experience making Presumed Guilty and explain how the film helped catalyze national judicial reforms in Mexico. Roberto Hernández (Director/Producer) was trained as a lawyer in Mexico and Canada and had no particular interest in cameras or film until he found himself collecting statistics in the basement of Mexico City's Superior Court, which houses the archived legal cases of one of the largest cities in the world. What he saw inspired him and his wife, Layda Negrete, to make "El Túnel," a short documentary that presented scandalous facts about Mexico's justice system and was broadcast on several television stations throughout Mexico. As a result of the support the film received, in 2008 Mexico's Congress passed the most significant amendment to its constitution's due process clause, requiring public trials and the presumption of innocence. But Hernández, currently a graduate student in public policy at the University of California, Berkeley, notes, "The implementation of this reform is hardly progressing at all, as the Mexican government today remains ostensibly focused on an offensive against drug cartels."

Poulomi Basu Postmodernism in Photography and Transmedia Activism | Collaborations for Cause 2017
Poulomi Basu's body of work, A Ritual of Exile, investigates the causes and the consequences of normalized violence against women in Nepal. Perpetrated under the guise of Hindu tradition, the root cause of this violence is the belief in the impurity of a women’s menstrual blood. Hidden, under-reported and unresolved, these women are untouchable and, as a result, this violence takes the form of ‘exiles,” a way to keep menstruation shrouded in mystery and taboo, a weapon to shame women into subservience. In a world that is ravaged by war, the media is often full of images of those affected by conflict but, for many, the conflict begins at home. This multidisciplinary project, combining still photography and virtual reality films, is designed to reach multiple audiences across different platforms, including print, virtual and physical installations. "I want to turn my audience into activists and crack open the veil of silence and shame around women whose lives are shattered by such gender based violence," Basu says. A Ritual of Exile reveals how the chaupadi ritual disrupts the lives of girls, exposes them to recurring danger and imposes unjust restrictions on women throughout their lives. Poulomi Basu is a storyteller, artist and activist. Her name sounds like ‘follow me’ with a ‘P’. She was raised by her mother in Calcutta, India and found early inspiration in the city’s rich cinematic history. After her father’s sudden death when Poulomi was 17, her mother told her to leave home, to follow her dreams and live a life of breadth and choices that was denied to her. Since then, Poulomi prefers the path less trodden. She has slept in the wilderness under a cloudless sky staring at a million stars in search of a guerrilla army whose story strikes right at the very heart of modern India’s global ambitions, through to divided families eking out an Alaskan existence on the last rocky outpost of American soil. Time and again, she has found herself amongst ordinary people who quietly challenge the prevailing orthodoxies of the world in which they live: rural women in armed conflict, a mother's pain for a son lost to ISIS, to the wonder of a near blind child reaching for the light. Poulomi is forever in awe of the resilience shown by those in extraordinary circumstance, by those who are bent but not broken. Poulomi’s work has become known for documenting the role of women in isolated communities and conflict zones and more generally for advocating for the rights of women. In December 2015, she shared a platform with the parents of the Nirbhaya Delhi rape victim talking about her social activist initiative, The Rape in India Project. And, in January 2016 at the UN Young Changemakers Conclave, Poulomi spoke on the social impact of sustainable development with specific reference to her long-term project A Ritual of Exile and her collaboration with NGO Water Aid and their To Be A Girl campaign, which raised £2 million, using this material. Poulomi was featured alongside Hilary Clinton as one of the one of the 'Amazing women from around the world giving their best advice' by Refinery29. Poulomi was part of the VII Mentor Program. She is based between New Delhi and London. She has covered issues across Asia, Europe and America. She is co-founder and director of Just Another Photo Festival, a festival that democratizes photography by taking photography to the people and forging new audiences. Poulomi has also undertaken the 'Reporting in Crisis Zones' hostile management training at Columbia School of Journalism, kindly supported with a bursary from the Rory Peck Trust.

World Vision – Content Is Not King | Collaborations for Cause 2017
The role of content and image in fulfilling storytelling, marketing and editorial needs at World Vision US. Tom Costanza spent the sixteen years as television news photographer at stations from Scranton to Seattle covering everything from presidential inaugurations and shuttle launches to earthquakes, hurricanes, and house fires. TV news helped him develop resourcefulness, compassion, and solid storytelling skills. When the opportunity to work at World Vision presented itself, Tom was able to use storytelling for a cause. Since joining World Vision in July 2001, Tom has spent a good part of the last sixteen years on the road capturing stories, spending three weeks traveling around the world to cover the Asia tsunami and in 2010, the earthquake in Haiti. He’s reported on child soldiers in Uganda, street children in Mexico, AIDS in India, and hunger in the Horn of Africa. Fortunately, the many heart-rending moments have been balanced by witnessing the joy, faith, and resilience of the world’s extraordinary people, his camera reflecting their light in some of the world’s darkest places. Phil Manzano is the director of Content Development in the Brand & Campaigns division of World Vision US. Currently, he oversees a team of writers and photographers, publications and promotional content. Prior to World Vision, he worked at The Oregonian in Portland, Ore. for more than 25 years as a writer and editor. He lives in the Rainier Valley area of South Seattle, and, on sunny days, can be found biking along Lake Washington. For almost 30 years, Jon Warren has dedicated his life to helping the poor to be seen and heard. He has traveled to upward of 60 countries producing photographs for many global publications and organizations such as World Vision. As Photojournalism Manager for World Vision, Jon travels the globe to tell the story of the charity’s work to build a better world for children. He’s photographed everything from the Haiti earthquake to the famine in Somalia. He lived with a Kenyan family trying to survive on food rations and spent a month with children in Cambodia working in a garbage dump. Through it all, his goal is to go beyond the statistics of poverty to show his subjects as individual and worthwhile human beings, loved and treasured by God. Jon has won awards from the National Press Photographers Association Pictures of the Year, Communications Arts, Folio, Maggie Awards, the Society of Professional Journalists, and Magnum Opus.
