Die Zukunft des Fotojournalismus

mh — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 12:42:06 +0000

Aus der Sendung “Reflexe” des Schweizer Radios SRF2 Kultur vom 05.04.2013:

“Die Krise des Journalismus macht auch den Fotografen zu schaffen. Die Fotoreportage sei tot, wird seit langem behauptet. Doch mit dem Medienwandel entstehen auch neue Plattformen. Ein Gespräch mit den Schweizer Fotografen Fabian Biasio und Michael Hauri.

Audiovisual, Multimedia Story, Webdoku: Noch hat sich kein einheitlicher Begriff – und schon gar kein deutscher – für das herausgebildet, was seit wenigen Jahren den Fotojournalismus revolutioniert.

Doch eines haben all diese neuen Formen gemeinsam: Sie kombinieren bewegtes und stehendes Bild. Und sie erlauben es den Autoren, mit ihren Reportagen direkt an ein Publikum zu gelangen – über das Internet.”

Silent Night (Producer)

mh — Sun, 10 Mar 2013 21:00:32 +0000

The Kandahar Massacre on March 11, 2012, is considered the most severe war crime blamed on a member of the U.S. Armed Forces since the war in Vietnam. But what about the victims and the survivors of the tragedy?

2470media’s Lela Ahmadzai travelled to Afghanistan and spoke to the survivors who lost their closest relatives in the night of this violance. The product of her journey is a documentary that moves the focus away from the suspect and tells the story of the victims whose voices, so far, have remained publicly unheard.

Design is Science

mh — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 22:43:10 +0000

Visual design is often the polar opposite of engineering: trading hard edges for subjective decisions based on gut feelings and personal experiences. It’s messy, unpredictable, and notoriously hard to measure. The apparently erratic behavior of artists drives engineers bananas. Their decisions seem arbitrary and risk everything with no guaranteed benefit.

It is easy to fail when designing an interactive experience. Designers fail when they do not know the audience, integrate the threads of content and context, welcome the public properly, or make clear what the experience is and what the audience’s role in it will be.

[blockquote blockquote_style="" align="none" text_align="left" cite="" style="Paul Rand"]Art is an idea that has found its perfect visual expression. And design is the vehicle by which this expression is made possible. Art is a noun, and design is a noun and also a verb. Art is a product and design is a process. Design is the foundation of all the arts.[/blockquote]

Mongolia in Transition

mh — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 14:33:59 +0000

Mongolia, the land of Genghis Khan and nomadic herders, is in the midst of a remarkable transition. Rich in coal, gold and copper, this country of fewer than 3 million people in Central Asia is riding a mineral boom that is expected to more than double its GDP within a decade. The rapid changes simultaneously excite and unnerve many Mongolians, who hope mining can help pull many out of poverty, but worry it will ravage the environment and further erode the nation’s distinctive, nomadic identity.

For this long-term project, I have visited the country in 2005 and in 2012.

Girl trafficking in Asia

mh — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 14:22:56 +0000

Swiss company Globetrotter Travel Services each year supports two photojournalists with a grant to realize a documentary project. I am happy to be one of the selected for the first edition. My project will lead me to East Asia where I will work on a story about girls being trafficked to China as a consequence of the one-child policy. Results to be published in summer 2013.

Have a look at the website of Globetrotter World Photo

Dani Levy, director

One of the most impressive personalities I’ve photographed during the last few months was Swiss director Dani Levy. Have a look at the child sex abuse campaign he launched some weeks ago in Germany: “Kein Raum für Missbrauch”.

In February 2013 our multimedia series “berlinfolgen” has come to an end with the 100th episode. For the last two years, German daily taz.die tageszeitung has been a reliable partner for my production studio 2470media. Want to know more about the project? Have a look at our website: berlinfolgen.de (in German)

The Training Academy of the German Newspaper Publishers (ABZV) did a behind-the-scenes story on our project (in German):

Berlinfolgen: 100 Fotofilme bilden ein Mosaik der Hauptstadt

mh — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 16:52:03 +0000

Wer auf Berlinfolgen.de landet, verbringt dort unerwartet gern mal mehrere Stunden und taucht ein in das, was die Macher als Fotofilme, Multimedia-Reportagen oder Audio-Slideshows bezeichnen: Etwa drei Minuten kurze Videos, montiert aus einer Interview-Spur und Atmo-Tönen, kombiniert mit oft erstklassiger Reportage-Fotografie, verdichtet zu einer im besten Fall berührenden Geschichte über Menschen aus Berlin.
