of hygiene and tropical medicine paolo s works have been awarded by mifa pollux awards photoannualawards and the photo philanthropy activist award about the photograph this image is from my documentary project called american dream about maternal health for african american women in the usa the united states has the highest maternal mortality rate of any industrialized country in the world and while the vast majority of countries have reduced their maternal mortality ratios for the past 25 years the numbers of women lost during pregnancy birth or postpartum have increased dramatically in the us african american women in the us are at especially high risk they are nearly four times more likely to die of pregnancy related complications compared to european woman last march i traveled to orlando florida and documented women s maternity experiences joanne is 32 years old and mother of five children and pregnant with the sixth i took this photo of her and her son alfonzo at he end of a full day just when i had already started packing my gear that seems to be the rule the best photographs the most intimate ones arrive after having built a personal relationship

graduated from portland state university after a four year enlistment in the marine corps in 1993 he was hired as a staff photographer at the columbian newspaper in vancouver washington in 1997 he was hired as a staff photographer at the register guard where he was recognized as a finalist for the pulitzer prize for his coverage of the thurston high school shooting in december 2007 he joined the the oregonian his work has been published in a broad range of publications such as national geographic traveler sports illustrated the washington post espn the magazine and u s news and world report in 2006 he was a featured speaker and team leader at the eddie adams workshop about the photograph when i shot this photo i d been shooting extensively in various nightclubs and bars across the u s in this case i heard there was a dance after the eugene pro rodeo so i stayed to check it out this was a very different venue than i had ever shot in it was actually a huge indoor horse arena the guys were real rodeo cowboys and were comfortable with the cameras some had remembered me from behind the chutes during the rodeo it s always nice to have free run of a place like any nightlife venue i look for interesting light first and station myself there i shoot mostly available light and always like when there are two or three colors of light the biggest problem i had was not lack of light but one color of light which is deal killer there s just no way to make that work for what i m trying to do for the building blocks of this photo i just needed to wait for the right moment i always like

oregon 2015 geoffrey hiller when a picture is worth 1 000 000 words by stephen mayes it s time to stop talking about photography it s not that photography is dead as many have claimed but it s gone just as there s a time to stop talking about girls and boys and to talk instead about women and men so it is with photography something has changed so radically that we need to talk about it differently think of it differently and use it differently failure to recognize the huge changes underway is to risk isolating ourselves in an historical backwater of communication using an interesting but quaint visual language removed from the cultural mainstream the moment of photography s puberty was around the time when the technology moved from analog to digital although it wasn t until the arrival of the internet enabled smartphone that we really noticed a different behavior and adolescence truly set in it was surprising but it all seemed somewhat natural and although we experienced a few tantrums along the way with arguments about promiscuity manipulation and some inexplicable new behaviors the photographic community largely accommodated the changes with some adjustments in workflow but these visible changes were merely the advance indicators of deeper transformations and it was only a matter of time before people s imagination reached beyond the constraints of two dimensions to explore previously unimagined possibilities and so it is that we find ourselves in a world where the digital image is almost infinitely flexible a vessel for immeasurable volumes of information operating in multiple dimensions and integrated into apps and technologies with purposes yet to be imagined the big change came with the adoption of digital capture which quietly but definitively severed the optical connection with reality that physical relationship between the object photographed and the image that differentiated lens made imagery and defined our understanding of photography for 160 years the digital sensor replaced to optical record of light with a computational process that substitutes a calculated reconstruction using only one third of the available photons that s right two thirds of the digital image is interpolated by the processor in the conversion from raw to jpg or tif it s reality but not as we know it for obvious commercial reasons camera manufacturers are careful to reconstruct the digital image in a form that mimics the familiar old photograph and consumers barely noticed a difference in the resulting image but there are very few limitations on how the raw data could be handled and reality could be reconstructed in any number of ways for as long as there s an approximate consensus on what reality should look like we retain a fingernail grip on the belief in the image as an objective record but forces beyond photography and traditional publishing are already onto this new data resource and culture will move with it whether photographers choose to follow or not as david campbell has pointed out in his report on image integrity for the world press photo this requires a profound reassessment of words like manipulation that assume the existence of a virginal image file that hasn t already been touched by computational process veteran digital commentator kevin connor says the definition of computational photography is still evolving but i like to think of it as a shift from using a camera as a picture making device to using it as a data collecting device more share this share on x opens in new window

northern new jersey before coming to photography he received his ba in history from fordham university and did graduate work in public health at harvard and international relations at the whitehead school of government he decided to pursue his passion for photography on a full time basis by enrolling in icp his project fringe was screened at the 2014 visa pour l image festival in perpignan chris attended the eddie adams workshop and was awarded the time magazine award for his work there his photographs have been published in time lightbox and al jazzeera about the photograph i had really just started photographing and considering changing directions career wise and a few lessons that came out of taking this photo have been important after meeting some trainers at a gym in passaic nj i had started shooting amateur boxers in gyms in passaic patterson and newark i had seen a lot of the younger kids train in the gym and was always impressed by their confidence when i saw them lining up for registration and weigh in they looked much more vulnerable than at the gym the guys running registration all had the hard look of older fighters and i wanted to see what they saw so i squeezed behind them and shot a few frames what s funny is that while i was shooting one of them grabbed me and dragged me out and started to loudly say you like taking pictures of little boys with no shirts on telling me he was calling the cops and i better erase the images my first reaction was to laugh at the absurdity of his accusation they were live streaming the event an event where the same kids were going to shirtlessly punch each other in the face in front of a crowd with cameras he didn t find my observation funny also the guy had been a boxer so i didn t have a chance to physically back him off i had gotten to know a lot of trainers several of who were local law enforcement and i waved them over to explain that i was not some pervert the whole incident taught me how important it is to shoot what i see as an important moment and deal with any problems afterwards it also was a good lesson in dealing with people who don t get what you are doing and in standing my ground as a photographer i knew i had the photo i was looking for and there was no chance i would delete it share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on

relationships when i made this photograph vanessa is a gentle and quiet woman she is fiercely political but always soft and discreet i admired how she spoke about her daughter she and abby s father divorced early and abby was raised between two homes i remember thinking how difficult it would feel to share my daughter with another woman mother but vanessa was always generous about the time abby spent with her father and stepmother i would ask her how do you feel having to share do you resent it do you feel pushed aside when she is with them vanessa measured perhaps but also thoughtful indicated that abby had a second perspective and extra love in her life i think it was somewhat painful but she did not waiver referencing abby as most important in the equation share this share on x
