How Motion is Changing the Future of Still Photography
Date and Time: Friday, October 25, 2013, 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM

Imaging tools are changing how photographers are telling their stories. With still cameras able to shoot video and high-end motion cameras able to produce high quality still images from frame grabs, the craft of photography has changed dramatically. Add to that technology’s impact on how imagery is distributed, and we have a shift in how our culture communicates on a global scale. But, with change comes opportunity, and this panel will talk candidly about how motion is changing the business of photography.
Multimedia Storytelling at MediaStorm
Date and Time: Friday, October 26, 2013, 1:30 PM – 3:30 PM
Location: Jacob K. Javits Convention Center 655 (West 34th Street (on 11th Avenue) New York, NY 10001)
Storytelling opportunities continue to evolve as a result of technological innovations and an expanding media universe. The digital age is giving documentary photographers and photojournalists extraordinary new ways to tell stories. With this new ability, you can also exercise a greater level of authorship with your work. How can long-form, in-depth visual storytellers satisfy both their journalistic and financial needs in this environment? Learn how to disseminate your work to create an impact on the subject, issue and hopefully society. Brian Storm, founder and executive producer of MediaStorm, will show how some of the top photojournalists have redefined their storytelling capabilities to include audio reporting and an eye towards publication in multiple media. Their work is capturing acclaim around the world in a time when reader’s attention spans are running short.
