The Imaging Alliance to salute, celebrate photographers in New York City on Nov. 7
Fourth annual event honors four photojournalists and storytellers who use their talents and passion to help those in need
NEW YORK, Sept. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Imaging Alliance will honor four photojournalists and storytellers who use their talents to give back and heighten awareness of some of the world’s greatest social and economic challenges through their work during its fourth annual Imaging Alliance Salutes Photographers Who Give Back event on Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2018.
This year’s honorees are:
- Larry C. Price – Price has been working on a powerful and poignant photo project documenting child labor around the world. He utilizes photography and multimedia journalism to provide a deeper understanding of the far reaching consequences resulting from environmental destruction and pollution.
- Danfung Dennis and Eric Strauss – Dennis and Strauss’s “This Is Climate Change” is a four-part virtual reality / immersive series that transports viewers into an unfolding global crisis. The VR series doesn’t just bring awareness to audiences about the devastating effects of climate change, it calls on them to take action.
- Linda Solomon – Solomon is the founder of Pictures of Hope, whose mission is to change children’s lives, one life at a time. Pictures of Hope shows each child there is hope and they are not forgotten. Through photography, homeless and underprivileged children and youth share their innermost feelings and reveal their dreams in photographs.
In addition to the above honorees, 16-year old Benjamin Mack-Jackson will be presented with the Anthony M. Ruotolo Photojournalism Award for his project documenting the efforts of World War II veterans. Mack-Jackson’s mission is to provide knowledge and inspiration to younger generations, so they can better appreciate and understand what the greatest generation endured all while preserving their memories.
Jennifer Rozenbaum, professional photographer and Long Island native, will serve as master of ceremonies for the event.
Sponsors include The Imaging Alliance, Madavor Media, Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Sony, Sigma, Olympus, Tamron, Panasonic, and Digital Imaging Reporter.
