SOCIAL DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY: A Personal Account

Beyond his day-to-day job as a communications officer in the UN Office on Sport for Development and Peace, Antoine Tardy is a member of ‘Photographers for Hope’ (http://photographersforhope.org/), an international team of photographers who have been documenting the lives of the poor and disenfranchised, and the work of NGOs to improve their conditions.

Drawing from his personal experience (including a recent trip to Bangladesh with the ‘Photographers for Hope’ team on the occasion of the 40th Anniversary of the independence of the country), Antoine will engage with the CPI in a discussion about ways to approach social documentary photography and how photographs can make a difference.

This session will take place on Tuesday 17 January 2012 from 12:30-13:30  in Room S4 – S building between doors 2 and 4.
