We will have highly acclaimed, award winning photographers: Mark Edward Harris, David Butow, Sean Scheidt, Ethan Swope, presenting. We have other photographers who are committed in spirit to present – to be announced.

Panel Discussion | Shifting Sands: Conflict Photojournalism and Ethics

featuring Marcus Bleasdale and Stephen Mayes

What are the ethical responsibilities of a photojournalist who chooses to cover conflict? Can he or she be truly neutral, or do they have a responsibility to reflect the moral and political imbalances of the situations they report on?

The panel will explore the ethical pressures on photojournalists in conflict and will consider their accountability for the positions they take and the pictures they make, how they make them, where they place the work and the voice they attach to it. The discussion will consider the responsibilities and consequences, intended and otherwise, of reporting on conflict.
