External Events...............
An exciting photographic evening in Brighton, The 4 Ps of photography: photojournalism, propaganda, privacy and public interest. A panel discussion in Brighton As part of the Brighton Photofringe 2008, members of Brighton and Hove Camera Club are organising a panel discussion on the issues and ethics surrounding photography today. The event is at the Brighthelm Centre in North Street, Brighton on Wednesday 15th October at 7pm. Tickets cost £5, which includes a glass of wine, and are available on the door. The panellists include photographers Gail Ward, who has worked in places such as Chernobyl and Rwanda and who has a passionate interest in people and humanitarian issues, Maurice Broomfield, who made his name in the 1950s working on industrial and social documentary and Graham Sergeant, whose work with a Big Issue seller is sensitive yet controversial. Other panellists will include an expert on media law, an academic and a representative from the charity No More Landmines. The discussion topic ties in with the Brighton Photo Biennial’s theme, Images of war. Photographs help to shape our understanding of war and other major world events but their use raises questions. Whose perspective is represented? Where and how do trust and privacy come in? Who judges what is published in the media? How is the internet changing the way we present and see things? The panellists will address these and other questions raised by the audience. Why not combine this with a day out in Brighton. There are loads of exhibitions on as part of the Brighton Photo Biennial and Brighton Photofringe, all celebrating the art of photography.
