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. 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.

We are delighted to be joined by Peruvian photographer Alejandra Orosco, who presents her project “ Only Memories Do Not Drown”, highlighting the 1978 story of El Peñol, a town whose residents were compelled to relocate because of a hydroelectric project that would eventually supply 30% of Colombia’s population with energy.

Photo Stories from the Square Mile Initiative
This series showcases recent work from members of VII Community. Every few months, we invite photographers from VII Community to present their stories. In this episode, we look at three photographers whose work is featured in “Square Mile” at the PhotoVogue Festival. VII Community provides ongoing education and support to a network of The VII Foundation’s alumni and Foundry Photojournalism Workshop participants, numbering more than 1200 professionals. Square Mile is an initiative that presents diverse photographic explorations by members of VII Community. It is a geographic framework, signifying a local focus on spaces where personal, local, and global influences intersect. The projects explore how themes such as climate change, identity, history, legacy, migration, gender, and environment appear within a local perspective. The upcoming edition of Square Mile, curated especially for the PhotoVogue festival, offers an insight into the work of twelve photographers. They show humanity’s multifaceted connection to the natural world, explore the resilience of communities deeply rooted in their land, and pay respect to ancestral traditions. They tell a story about nature’s guardians, who are protecting the environment and creatures that populate it, and examine the intricate relations between humans and all living. We are delighted to be joined by American photographer Jordan Gale, who presents “You Will Never Want for Anything.” His project explores the Klamath River, the site of the world’s largest dam removal project, and in doing so, examines the history of exploitation and resource extraction. Chinky Shukla is an Indian photographer who will discuss “When Buddha Stopped Smiling.”. Her project tells the stories of the desert communities of Pokhran. When India announced its nuclear capability in 1974, the explosions echoed across the world — but in that thunderous moment, local voices were silenced. Mexican photographer Sara Escobar showcases “Burrolandia: The Donkey Obsession,” a story about a donkey sanctuary led by German Flores. As mechanization has replaced working animals, Mexico’s donkey population has plummeted. At this shelter in Otumba, caregivers work to provide dignified lives for Mexican donkeys while preserving their legacy. The event will be moderated by VII contributing photographer Anush Babajanyan.
