I love Paolo Pellegrin’s slideshow Iranian Memoir, which you can see over at Magnum Photos.
The story is simple, but compellingly told. Pellegrin’s powerful images of modern Iran and Iranians are shown alongside audio interviews with Iranian-Americans whose parents fled the country during the 1979 revolution.
Matt Brandon over at The Digital Trekker writes up some good tips on creating remarkable photo essays.
His post is crammed with links to some well made and inspiring photo essays on a variety of topics (including Marcus Bleasdale’s haunting Rape of a nation essay about war in the Republic of Congo).
But there’s also some useful nuggets of advice for anyone considering, or actually making, the transition from still photography to multimedia. Things like:
I’m particularly interested in the audio side of things, and the practicalities of making good audio recordings while simultaneously taking good photos. It’s quite a juggling act, and something I hope to explore in future posts.
