Athens Photo World with the support of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens will host an open discussion on Photojournalism and the World Wide Web in the Alkis Argyriadis Auditorium on Monday, November 7, at 19:00.
Athens Photo World curator and Athens and Macedonia News Agency photographer Yannis Kolesidis will exchange views, ideas and experiences with four of the most active Greek photojournalists working at four of the most popular and influential Greek sites. Yannis Kemmos (www.newsbeast.gr ), William Faithful (www.protothema.gr ), Lefteris Partsalis (www.cnn.gr) and Nikos Christofakis (www.newsbomb.gr) will talk about important issues that go un-noticed during the day among the frenzy of news and images that the audience receives.
Who are the people behind the photographs that we relentlessly scroll up and down on our screens?
What are the challenges for a photojournalist today in Greece?
What do mass media ask for?
What does the audience ask for?
How can a photographer keep the balance between his/her personal creative style and the image that will have more “clicks”?
These issues and more will be discussed with the audience’s participation at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, in the Alkis Argyriadis Auditorium on Monday, November 7, at 19:00.
