Goodbye Disphotic
After ten years of maintaining the site, I’ve decided to take Disphotic offline. I’m currently in the process of editing some of the better posts from here, and from other titles that I’ve written for over the last decade, and these will soon be avaliable in book form from my online shop. Thanks to everyone has supported Disphotic and my writing.

The Performance of Photographic Ethics
The Performance of Photographic Ethics
‘We talk about ethics’ is something I hear a lot in photography. Spoken by photographers, editors, teachers, academics. It’s a signpost that you consider ethical considerations important. But it’s hard to resist the feeling this claim has become so expected, so de rigueur, as to be almost meaningless. That feeling really struck home recently when I was looking at an advert for mentoring sessions…

Artificial Authorship
Artificial Authorship - When is a machine an author?
At the end of last year I started a PhD in the Media and Communications department at the London School of Economics, where I’m researching the intersections of machine intelligence and photojournalism under the supervision of Dr. Dylan Mulvin and Professor Lilie Chouliaraki. Specifically, I’m looking at a series of questions around the relationship between visual media and deliberative…

An Open Letter to Magnum's Photographers
An Open Letter to Magnum’s Photographers
Nearly a decade ago, when I was first starting to study and practice documentary photography, Magnum Photos was like a lighthouse on the horizon, a distant point which I believed to be the destination of my journey as a photographer. I was, obviously, naïve about my reasons for making documentary work, and about the metrics that should be my measurement of success. But I was setting forth in the…

Magnum’s Problems are Bigger than David Alan Harvey Yesterday the Magnum Photo Agency announced that it was suspending long time member David Alan Harvey while it investigates a specific allegation of sexual harassment.
Decolonising Photography Education: If Not Now, Then When? Universities speak a great deal about decolonising their curricula, which is broadlty speaking the objective of adjusting the content, delivery and staff of courses in a way which steers them away from Eurocentric perspectives and towards a better representation of the multitude of different viewpoints and histories that exist.
An Online Teaching Survival Guide
This guide is intended to give new online teachers a sense of some of the possibilities and the challenges that this environment brings. Online teaching is not the same as face to face teaching, but it also isn’t radically different. Some things work almost exactly the same in a virtual classroom as in a physical one, some things are no longer possible, and some entirely new possibilities present…

Necessity is the Mother of Invention These are strange and testing times, with many of us stuck at home for the foreseeable future, cut off from many of the things we normally turn to for creative inspiration and release from the tedious realities of life.
To Reinvent the Book, We must Destroy It The current interest in photobooks is nothing short of a revolution, or so we are told by a coterie of people with much to gain from this idea, with manifestos to sell, and cadres eager to be led.
The first guest post on Disphotic, written by photographer and lecturer Carole Evans, asks whether promoting photographers on the basis of their gender is useful or not. Disphotic now welcomes contributions from photographers and writers seeking space to discuss critical issues in contemporary photography.
Undue Indiligence: Photo London’s Partnership Problem Human interest is often taken to be a rather cynical journalistic tactic, exploiting our emotions for easy engagement.
The House Always Wins: The Inner Game of Photography My family are quite musical and so perhaps inevitably I began to learn to play several instruments when I was quite young.
Capital Realism: Art, Photography and Gentrification Two decades after the fall of the Soviet Union, the late cultural critic Mark Fisher noted that it had become far easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine an end to capitalism.
Nihilistic Photojournalism? Don McCullin at Tate Britain I went to Don McCullin’s current retrospective at Tate Britain with some trepidation. Both in terms of the things I knew the exhibition would ask me to look at, but also in terms of the stance the exhibition would take on photojournalism itself.

Two divers preparing to explore the wreck of the RMS Lusitania, 1935
I have decided to raise Disphotic from the abyssal depths in which it has for too long lain abandoned. It’s time to patch the rotting hull, fire up the rusting engines, and set forth once again upon the stormy seas of blogging. In other words, I’m back.
When I gave Disphotic up two years ago I had no intention of ever…

Conflicting Interests: A Follow Up
Conflicting Interests: A Follow Up
KC Green I wanted to write a short update to my previous piece about conflicts of interest and transparency in the Deutsche Börse foundation prize. After a rather drawn out back and forth with The Photographers Gallery they have provided me with the guidelines used by the jury and chair. You can read them in their entirety here, but I just want to focus here on the bits that relate to what I…
