Photography is notable among the arts for its ability to make change in the world. This can take many forms, from documentation of hardship to inspire social change to the exploration of invisible realms, leading to scientific discovery. Equally relevant is the use of photography as a teaching tool, dedicated to building confidence and affecting change in the lives and ambitions of underserved youth.
For the first in a series that reveals the dedication and effort at work behind the scenes within notable youth photography nonprofits, we spoke

On this week’s episode of the B&H Photography Podcast, we present a conversation with two photographers. We start with Aaron Turner, who is also a scholar, an archivist, and the host of the podcast “Photographers of Color.” Turner stays with us as we speak later with Laylah Amatullah Barrayn about her street portraiture during the COVID-19 outbreak in New York and the recent uprising in Minneapolis.
With Turner, we talk about the

Our conversation on this week’s episode of the B&H Photography Podcast is with the fabulous and innovative Duane Michals. Of the many comments he made about his photography practice, a practice that has been commercially and artistically successful for almost sixty years, one that stood out was his aside that “photography has failed [him] as an art form.” The comment comes late in our conversation but refers to the idea that

He likes to say that he doesn’t think about his photography much, but the truth is that he is always thinking about it. His inspiration is momentum.”
On the farm, in the barn, the workshop, even up on a hunting stand, we spoke with photographer George Holz all afternoon, but it was his wife, writer, Jennifer Holz, who provided this perfect summation of her husband’s photo practice.
To be fair, Holz had been working around this idea throughout our conversations and when I mentioned what Jennifer Holz

From her commercial work, to her tableaus of motherhood, to the internationally successful series, “Out My Window,” Gail Albert-Halaban has one goal: “I think of everything I do as a way to build community.”

Her earliest works were explorations of social groups, ones she knew very well—high school seniors, and ones she was just getting to know—

Photography is a passport into life in the world outside of ourselves, as well as a powerful way to come to understand who we are.
Who is this person who, through the possession of a camera, has made a profound connection to another human being? Who is that person who can photograph a surgery, hike over crevasses, climb fire escapes for the view, wander in and out of crowded, foreign spaces, fall in love with the

After thousands of miles, dozens of new adventures, and a life saving’s worth of fuel, we finally made it back into New York, with the Airstream in tow. We’d left our corporate jobs in New York City for a nomadic life, but we were thrilled to be back. My husband was born and raised on Long Island, and something about returning to the Northeast just felt like returning home. And though we lived only a couple hours away from new sights, sounds, and adventures, we rarely made it out of the city to explore the rest of the state. We made sure to

On this week’s episode of the B&H Photography Podcast, we welcome editorial, fashion, art, and music photographer Olivia Bee. That’s a lot of tags and she’s earned them all in a relatively short time span. Her “origin story” is well-documented in photo circles, so we won’t go into that much, but in a career now a decade old, we discuss where those early successes have brought her, what she enjoys about photography, and what she is

Photography registers the world’s optical unconscious: the traumas and ecstasies, the losses and joys that forge the true meaning of our lives in ways not ruled by conscious thought.

Imagine the privilege of being present at the creation of one of the “wonders of the world,” and then imagine being asked to document the magnitude—and the details—of that creation. Our guest on today’s episode of the B&H Photography Podcast has just that privilege and that responsibility and, as he puts it, this telescope may “change the way we understand our universe.”

Photography is a way for me to depict the injustices I saw when I was a criminal defense lawyer. It brings together my journalism and legal backgrounds, allows me to snoop into my subjects’ lives, takes me to places I wouldn’t ordinarily explore, and opens up my own world.

For the past six months, Paige and Corey have traveled across the country. Here are some of their key tips, takeaways, and travel lessons.
What is boon-docking?
Boon-docking typically refers to off-grid camping, most commonly done in a vehicle or trailer. When boon-docking, you have few common luxuries, live respectfully off the land and pack out anything you brought with you. You have no electric hookups, no plumbing, and usually no Wi-Fi or cellular service. Boon-docking locations vary, some being easier to access than others, so

I have spent over 20 years working with historical photographs and, for me, photography is the most powerful way for our pasts to connect with our present. No more compelling way to recognize who we might be than by seeing another version of ourselves—from another time, another culture, or another place. And from crisis to catastrophe to impossible triumphs, photography has documented it all. We are, of course

The B&H Photography Podcast wraps up 2019 expanding our minds, with the help of Swedish photographer Erik Johansson. Enabling his playful and slightly sinister imagination with a wealth of design and photographic talent, Johannsson makes images that toy with the veracity of a photo while using relatively basic photographic processes to create them. It is certainly worth viewing Johansson’s website or

Four years ago, we were assigned the task of starting an audio podcast about photography. Such a project had never been attempted at B&H, and there came the normal challenges associated with starting something new. We persisted through the first six months and, now, 200 weekly episodes later, we have built a program with thousands of subscribers and have even topped the iTunes/Apple Podcasts Visual Arts chart a few times. Allan, Jason, and I (along with the help of many members of the B&H Explora team) love creating the podcast and it
