THIS VIDEO: Covers the subject of photographic postmodernism - I will attempt to condense the presentation to about 15 minutes. Postmodernism could be described as a philosophy or ideology as well as an art movement and its impact has permeated all levels of present-day western society. In order to delve into post-modernism, one first has to establish what defines Modernism is. In order to delve into post-modernism, one first has to establish what defines Modernism is. So post-modernism within the photographic art world is reflected in what work is shown in institutions, which artists are marketed, as well as the coercion of artists to integrate the dictates of critical theory into their work. Nobody knows how this process will eventually play itself out, but for the moment it having an overwhelming impact on all areas of creativity.

ABOUT ME: The conversations focus on topics related to different aspects of photography including: art, documentary and photojournalism. The discussions explore the personal experiences of photographers and artists and how their work reflects both their internal and external landscape. During the past 30 years I have photographed in over 50 countries for magazines including National Geographic, Time, New York Times and Newsweek. I have held solo exhibitions in New York, London and Paris and my work is showcased in private and institutional art collections around the world.
