  • Joanne Coates - Documentary Photographer
    2024/11/11
    It’s been a long time since I produced an episode – despite having recorded a number of interviews. The reason being that I was dealing with a serious health issue that took a significant toll on me, and I’m only now starting to get to grips with it. I’m going to produce and publish the 4 interviews I carried out, because I owe it to the people I spoke to, who were kind enough to give up their time to talk to me and whose stories and work I really want to share. After that, I’m going to change things up a little bit. I’ll continue producing podcasts, but in a different format, and I’ll be doing a lot more writing. I’ll also be setting up a couple of initiatives to support documentary storytellers on their journey. If you’re listening to this, and would like to be kept informed of what I produce next, then please sign up to the newsletter via Substack or become a supporter via Patreon. What really struck me about Joanne Coates was not only her work, but how in her biography and elsewhere she identifies as a working class photographer. I find that statement very powerful. It shares with the world an aspect of our identity that might otherwise go unnoticed. Declaring one’s class, provides others with some idea of our lived experience and the struggles we may have faced – both generally speaking and as a documentary storytellers. As we discuss, the history of photography and filmmaking is deeply rooted in elitism, as well as colonialism, and the patriarchy – forces that continue to heavily influence these media to this day. The only way in which we’re going to be able to decouple visual storytelling from these destructive forces – if we ever will in the advent of AI – is to acknowledge it, talk about it, and develop the tools to build a more just and humane alternative. This is exactly the purpose of these podcasts, the articles I write to accompany them, and the platform I hope to build on these foundations. If you would like to discuss any of the point raised, then please get in touch via Instagram or email me at chris@documentarystorytellers.com References Don McCullin Simon Roberts Bell Hooks Chris Killip Mark Neville Anastasia Traylor-Lind Mark Fisher (author) Jeremy Deller The oil machine directed by Emma Davie Time span museum – Beatrice: Transition Under Petrocapitalism exhibition Margaret Mitchell Gareth PhillipsBaltic Centre of Contemporary Art in Gatesend

  • 10 - Smita Sharma - Documentary photographer
    2023/11/28

    In this episode I’m speaking to Smita Sharma - a Delhi-based photojournalist and visual storyteller reporting on critical human rights, gender, social justice and environmental issues – both in India and throughout the Global South.

    Smita is actively engaged in public speaking, victim advocacy and international public education, and her work has been exhibited and published globally, including at the UN Headquarters in New York. She recently published her first photo book We Cry In Silence documenting cross-border trafficking of underage girls in South Asia, published by FotoEvidence. Smita’s been organising a campaign in the region aimed at educating and raising awareness amongst the communities most vulnerable to human trafficking.

    We discuss all this and other steps Smita has done to maximise the impact her work, along with her motivation for doing what she does, her experiences with publications and organisations from the Global North, and much more.

  • 09 - Natalie Keyssar - Documentary photographer
    2023/07/19

    Natalie is a documentary photographer based in Brooklyn, New York. She is interested in inequality, youth culture, and the personal effects of political turmoil and violence, primarily in the US and Latin America.

     

    As always we cover a wide range of topics, including the impact her work as a photographer has had on Natalie’s view of the world, our capacity as documentary storytellers and the potential for photography to create meaningful change, and the need for us to support one another and the ways in which we can do that…and of course much more.
