RADIUS SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS 27 & UNDER
This
intensive weekend bookmaking workshop is open to anyone who is
passionate about a photography project that he or she has been working
on –– from serious amateurs to seasoned professionals, from documentary
photographers to art photographers, from those photographing a theme, a
place, or an issue to those working on a more personal series of
photographs of family or friends. This workshop will help each
participant learn how to take his or her project to the next level.
The
workshop will be taught by Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb, a
creative team who’ve edited seven books together — including Rebecca’s
My Dakota, Alex’s The Suffering of Light, and their joint books Violet
Isle and the upcoming Memory City —and by noted designer David Chickey,
Radius’s publisher and creative director who has designed photo books
for more than 20 publishers and museums over the last 15 years.
Through
an individual assignment tailored for each participant, presentations,
discussions, and an editing exercise, the Webbs and Chickey will explore
with you a variety of book-related topics over this intensive weekend,
including such issues as how to discover the heart of your photography
project, how to edit and sequence a photo book intuitively, how to
figure out what’s left to photograph for your project, how to choose a
writer, title and cover image, how to work with a designer, what to
expect when you go on press, and how prints in a book differ from prints
on a wall.
To apply: photographers must submit 10 small jpgs (72
dpi, 8 inches on longest side) or a link to your project online, and a
short statement about the project (no more than 250 words), as a word
doc to the Webbs: webbnorriswebb@gmail.com Former Webb Workshop
participants are invited to apply without submitting a formal
application if Alex and Rebecca are familiar with your project.
For more information about the workshop, please contact Alex and Rebecca: webbnorriswebb@gmail.com

An Interview with Georgia Photographer Cole Whitworth
Cole Whitworth's project on I-17.
http://www.us17coastalhighway.com/2013/01/an-interview-with-georgia-photographer-cole-whitworth.html
Cole Whitworth touched base with US 17 last year, to let us know about his Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) photography project focused on Highway 17 around Brunswick, Georgia. I was thrilled that he was willing to share his photographs with us here - this was a stretch of Highway 17 that I haven't spent much time on, but more importantly, I loved how Cole captured the ordinary in an extraordinary way. His work shown here is with a large format camera

Wildlife Photography Competition
Calling all photographers!
The 2013 Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition is now open for entries.
Enter online at www.wildlifephotographeroftheyear.com and take part in one of the world’s most prestigious photography events.
Compete for the coveted titles of Wildlife Photographer of the Year and Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year and:
• receive a share of the £30,000 prize pot, including £10,000 for the adult overall winner.
• win a trip to London to attend the exclusive awards night at the Natural History Museum.
• revel in the critical acclaim of the global media spotlight.
• be showcased in the Museum’s world renowned exhibition, tour and portfolio book.
The 2013 Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition is now open to entries and this will be my second time at the helm.
As Chair of the 2012 competition, I found myself in the fascinating position of being able to observe the jury without compromising their important task of evaluating and selecting submissions. I was impressed by the seriousness of the panel charged with making some very difficult decisions, and felt fortunate to be amidst such talent, the highest calibre in the world of natural history photography, who made for some extremely stimulating and challenging discussions. The nuances of ima gery brought out the best in all the judges, one could see the level of thoughtful deliberation does not get any better. The stakes are high with such a prestigious competition so we all knew it was important to get it right. I, for one, am proud of the final selection of winning photographs and am quite sure that some are future classics, moments of unquestionable beauty and unpalatable tragedy immortalised through today’s technology.
But now my focus of attention is not on what has been, rather what will be as the 2013 competition opens, and I call on your all to enter your finest, most compelling, courageous work, so that my fellow judges and I may once again find ourselves transported to other worlds where we discuss the techniques, artistry and ethics behind the diverse array of compositions. Wildlife photography is a universal language that makes for an exciting and powerful communications tool and photographers carry a responsibility to their subjects, to their audience, to themselves. For this the simple mantra holds true - take only photographs, leave nothing but footprints. Every place, plant, and animal, whether above or below water, is unique, and subtle impacts will accumulate over time to devastating effect. We must therefore always encourage those who enjoy photographing nature to do so in a way that best promotes good stewardship of our natural resources. Despite shifts in technology that enable us to get even closer to our subjects, we must remain true to our roots, focusing on in-camera excellence, skill, ingenuity, patience, dedication, passion and a simple narrative underpinning each and every image.
So the time is right to edit your collection and submit those images that you believe will wow our loyal audience across the world, fueling understanding, promoting discussion, provoking reactions that cause change and ensure that there is a legacy.…a very natural legacy.
