Deep Dive: “Trauma-informed Photography” with Diversify Photo
Featuring Tamara K. Knox, Ryan Christopher Jones, Ed Ou, and moderated by Salgu Wissmath
What is the space between the photographer and the person they’re photographing? How can we better acknowledge their struggles and their history? Trauma-informed photography is an opportunity to do better when working with people that have experienced trauma, and to acknowledge the emotional turmoil that can be drawn out in the photography process. In this conversation, we will cover practical approaches and aspirational practices when it comes to working better with the people we photograph.
Diversify Photo and Photoville present Deep Dive, a series of professional development workshops supported by Leica Camera! Photography and photojournalism are forever evolving, and we are here to examine and celebrate approaches that go beyond the surface. These panel discussions will cover the intricacies of long-term story creation; the strategies for working better with communities that have experienced trauma; and the methodology behind journalism that focuses on solutions, not just problems.
