9:09 Nina Robinson Presentation: Foundry 2022 In this video, Nina Robinson discusses the importance of family photographs, and how they can be intergenerational learning opportunities. Nina Robinson is an award-winning documentary photographer, educator, and Fujifilm Ambassador. Including precisely what is necessary, her work has been described as tender, cinematic and visceral. It has been featured on international platforms, including Netflix, Lifetime, RollingStone, New York Times, and TIME. She covers stories in the American South, Midwest, and East coast. Robinson developed a groundbreaking and innovative phototherapy program in 2015 with senior citizens at William Hodson Community Center in the Bronx. Through the use of photography, older residents were able to explore personal and social issues openly. She continues similar social workshops and programming centered around photography across the country. Robinson is committed to making photography in and with communities to expand knowledge, build relationships, and diversify visual narratives. Foundry Photojournalism Workshop provides majority world students who could not otherwise afford it, a chance to learn from some of the world's most well-respected photojournalists and photography professionals.

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. His work has appeared in many magazines including Time, Newsweek and The New York Times and Soros Foundation publications. http://www.jasoneskenazi.com/ PhotoWings' mission is to highlight and help facilitate the power of photography to influence the world.
