EVENT DETAILS
Ed Kashi will present a selection of work from his new book Abandoned Moments: A Love Letter to Photography. He will also share a selection of his advocacy photojournalism, which will provide the starting point for a robust discussion on the ethics of representation and the changing environment that this medium is navigating at a moment of massive flux in both media and our society.

Jess commissioned and co-authored the ground-breaking research The People in the Pictures, and founded and now co-chairs the Bond sponsored 'People in the Pictures working group', set up to bring about sector wide change towards more ethical practises in the creation and use of images of poverty.
