PhotoWings 7:14 Maggie Steber - Foundry 2023 Presentation PhotoWings 1:22:49 The Critical Role of a Photo Agency in the Professional Life of a Contemporary Photographer How do agencies enhance your place in the market? Marcel Saba of Redux in conversation with Ron Haviv and Maggie Steber Long before co-founding the VII agency, Ron Haviv was a freelance photographer working for a small independent photo agency in New York called Saba. It was during this pre-digital age that Haviv did some of his best and most impactful work. Often the first person to see what was on that film was his agent Marcel Saba. Today Ron is still photographing, and Marcel Saba is still selling his images, this time through the agency Redux. With veteran photographer Maggie Steber, who has worked with some of the most legendary agents in the last 30 years, including Saba, Marcel and Ron discuss what makes for a great agent/photographer relationship and how the business functions PhotoWings 2:29 Public History: Photojournalism As Historical Evidence In this video, award-winning photojournalists Ben Bohane, John Moore, Daniel Schwartz and Maggie Steber speak to the idea that journalists and photojournalists create “the first draft of history” and the essential role photographers play in persevering the past. Ben Bohane is an Australian photojournalist, author and TV producer who has covered Asia and the Pacific islands for the past 30 years. He is the founder and present Director of www.wakaphotos.com, the only photo agency based in the Pacific islands. He has the largest personal photo archive of the South Pacific in the world. His photographs are collected by the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, the British Museum and the Australian War Memorial, as well as being held in private collections. His work has appeared in Vanity Fair, The New York Times, TIME, Newsweek, National Geographic, The Wall St Journal, Stern (Germany), Monocle, The Guardian, French Geo, Asahi Shimbun and many publications in Australia. He has also done tv news stories and documentaries that have been shown on ABC & SBS TV Australia, BBC, F24 (France), ARD (Germany) and NHK (Japan). John Moore is a senior staff photographer and special correspondent for Getty Images. He has photographed in 65 countries on six continents and was posted internationally for 17 years, first to Nicaragua, then India, South Africa, Mexico, Egypt and Pakistan. Since returning to the U.S. in 2008 he has since focused on immigration and border issues. Moore has won top awards throughout his career, including the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography, World Press Photo honors, the John Faber Award and the Robert Capa Gold Medal from the Overseas Press Club, Photographer of the Year from Pictures of the Year International, the NPPA and Sony World Photography Organization. Daniel Schwartz graduated from Zurich School of Arts and Craft (now Zurich University of the Arts) in 1980. He concentrates on book projects, with exhibitions, based on extensive travels, photographic essays, and reportages covering the Eastern Hemisphere from Iran to East Timor, from Turkmenistan to Bangladesh. Schwartz's art is documentary; it is in the history of places. His journalism is not a reaction to events; it builds on memory. His method is best expressed in "Travelling through the Eye of History" (published, in 2009, like all his books by Thames & Hudson), a pre- and post-9/11 observation covering Central Asia including Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Kashmir.
