They cover the craft of photo essays, the changing business models behind visual journalism, how archives and sequencing shape meaning, the risks and realities of AI imagery, and Bill’s ongoing work championing photographers and helping them make books.🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS* 🌐 Blue Photo Collective: BluePhoto.co* 📸 Instagram: @billshapiro* 📸 Foto: @billshapiro* 🌐 Article by Bill on Alex Harris - Alex Harris Returns to New Mexico* 🌐 Article by Bill on Richard Sharum - To Live and Die in DallasThank you to our sponsor State Film Lab!
