J. Sybylla Smith, In Conversation with Michelle Bogre

Bogre honors the foundations of evidential aspects of photography to forge human connection and activate advocacy. She wrestles with the elasticity of the medium as digital capture and distribution impact and change everything. Accountability and authenticity remain essential while construction, portraiture, and installation are broadening the tool kit for visual storytellers. In this book group, Michelle Bogre discusses, among other things:Photojournalism as a subset of documentary photography with its own rulesHow documentary is in its essence connected to the truth or fact of a storyThe power of an image based in evidence, witness and narrativeHow images tell a truth not the truthDocumentary as “the canary in the minefield”Content over techniqueVisual lyricism in stories revealing hidden historiesResponsibility to visual literacyThe absence of women photographers work being distributed and known and consequently all but absent in the canon of photo historyDecolonizing the cameraResourcesFrom Memory to Experience: The Smartphone, A Digital Bridge -  Stephen Mayes The Four Corners Project - International Center of Photography A Photograph Never Stands Alone - Teju Cole for New York Times iSee - exhibition review J Sybylla SmithOn Abortion - book review J Sybylla Smith for ZEKE MagazineThe Most Important Picture - non profit organization to continue collaborative work in marginalized communities worldwideCompanion Website for the bookMIT Open Documentary LabDecolonizing the Camera: Photography in Racial Times - Mark SealyVII Photo - Anarchy in the U.S. and IN feed by Chrisopher Morris using 3D scanner app for iPhone with Lidar Michelle Bogre Website | InstagramEngage with J.
