Ten Years On: Photojournalists on War. “At the heart of photojournalism lies a confounding paradox,” writes The New Yorker’s Dexter Filkins in the forward to “Photojournalists on War: The Untold Stories from Iraq,” by Michael Kamber, out from University of Texas Press on May 15th. “The people most attuned to the events unfolding before them, the most careful observers, the men and women endowed with the most searching and sensitive eyes, are ordinarily silent… To miss the photographers’ perspective—to hear what they have to say—is to be deprived of a wholly different sensibility,” for “the photographer has a different way of knowing.” This book, ambitious in both its breadth and depth, and published as we approach the ten-year anniversary of the war in Iraq, is a collection of interviews and photographs from thirty-nine of the world’s top news photographers who documented the conflict, and is dedicated to the more than a hundred and fifty journalists killed there.

The Wednesday discussion at Lesley’s Washburn Auditorium featured panelists Karim Ben Khelifa, a photojournalist and Nieman Fellow, Ludovic Blecher, editor-in-chief of Libération.fr and also a Nieman Fellow, and Judith E. Matloff ’81, a faculty member at the Columbia Journalism School. During the talk, the panelists described the lives of the people behind the camera and emphasized the need for journalists to get up-close views of their subjects while staying safe.

The business of photojournalism. Phantom Kingdom: Understanding Syria and American Photojournalism. In her 1977 essay "On Photography," Susan Sontag alleges that "photographic images do not seem to be statements about the world so much as pieces of it, miniatures of reality that anyone can make or acquire. " She believed that because photographs could be preserved and/or reproduced with such generous variance—in albums, books, frames, newspapers, magazines—people would come to possess a "chronic voyeuristic relation" to the world. For Sontag, the advent of photography brought with it the democratization and “voyeurization” of human experience by means of the photographic image.
No matter how mighty, forgotten, gorgeous, or gruesome, events and their actors would henceforth always be leveled and compressed for the common gaze. When she wrote that celebrated essay, Sontag could not possibly have known just how prescient her insights into the proliferation of images would become.
