Edward Echwalu - A Photographer's Motivation
PhotoWings had the opportunity to talk with photojournalist and teacher Edward Echwalu at the 2016 Foundry Photojournalism Workshop in Cape Town, South Africa. Edward gave us insights into the motivations for his photographic work, his hopes and his fears, his drive to use photojournalism to educate his community in Uganda as well as inform the wider world. He discusses the importance of empathetic storytelling, trying to “integrate… a sense of love… into the work.” Edward Echwalu is a freelance photojournalist based in Kampala, Uganda, with an extended reach across East Africa. A graduate of journalism and communication at Makerere University, his work over the years has been published in distinguished media outlets globally. While he focuses on social developmental issues, he continues to cover a wide range of breaking news stories. Edward is also part of an exciting crop of photographers based in Africa contributing towards changing the negative image of Africa in the West through the @everydayafrica project. He is a 1st and 2nd runner up in the CNN Africa Journalism Awards (2012, 2013).

“Then & Now: Photographers Repicturing Their Archive in 2020” presented with Everyday Projects, HuffPost, and RYOT
THEN & NOW: PHOTOGRAPHERS REPICTURING THEIR ARCHIVE IN 2020 presented with Everyday Projects, HuffPost, and RYOT Featuring Sheila Pree Bright, Yolanda Escobar Jiménez, Brian Otieno, Xiaojie Ouyang, and moderated by Christy Havranek and Elie Gardner Photoville 2020 Talks On-demand recordings are made possible in partnership with PhotoWIngs with additional support by the Philip and Edith Leonian Foundation This year–amidst the compounded pandemics of COVID-19 and systemic racism, amidst global social upheaval–thirteen photographers returned to places and moments they have photographed before, to make new images and record the visual impact of 2020. Their photographs reveal evolutions in our interactions and traditions, how we use (or have stopped using) public spaces, inequality and unrest, economic strain, and demands for justice. Photographers Sheila Pree Bright (Atlanta, U.S.A.), Yolanda Escobar Jiménez (Quito, Ecuador), Brian Otieno (Nairobi, Kenya), and Xiaojie Ouyang (Wuhan, China), discuss what it was like to return to places they had photographed before and make new photographs. 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/
