Carolyn Cole, PHOTOJOURNALISM: AN INTERNATIONAL APPROACH

As our world becomes increasingly intertwined, photojournalism has an important role in bridging the gap between cultures. International news photographer, Carolyn Cole, has spent the past 15 years traveling to distant places to capture the news and bring it to the readers of the Los Angeles Times. She has covered the conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Sudan and Liberia, often focusing on victims caught in the crossfire. Her high impact photography, not only informs, but captures the aesthetics of light, color and composition, often under chaotic circumstances.

Carolyn Cole began working as a newspaper photographer in 1986 after graduating with a Bachelor of Journalism from the University of Texas. Since then she has worked for five newspapers and spent two years as a freelance photographer in Mexico City. Her coverage of the civil conflict in Liberia earned her the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for feature photography. She is also a two-time recipient of the Robert Capa Award for Courage in Photojournalism.

Annenberg Space for Photography in LA to open

from The Annenberg Foundation:

The Annenberg Foundation announced the opening exhibit for The Annenberg Space for Photography, a community space dedicated to both digital images and print photography in Los Angeles, California to open Friday, March 27, 2009.

The premiere show, entitled “L8S ANG3LES,” will be comprised of images from eight Los Angeles-based photographers in the genres of fine art, architecture, documentary, fashion, photojournalism and celebrity portraits. The artists contributing to the group show are among the most respected in their fields-- John Baldessari, Catherine Opie, Greg Gorman, Douglas Kirkland, Tim Street-Porter, Julius Shulman, Lauren Greenfield, and Carolyn Cole. The exhibit will also include work from three Los Angeles Times staff photographers depicting life in this city; Lawrence Ho, Genaro Molina, and Kirk McKoy. Following a gala premiere on March 25, the exhibit will open to the public on Friday, March 27 and close on June 20, 2009.

Located on the former site of the Shubert Theatre, the Photography Space is a 10,000 square-foot facility. The dynamic exhibition space will feature, along with a traditional print gallery, a state-of-the-art digital presentation system capable of sharing an unprecedented number of photographs with the public in large and high-resolution format. This system can also simultaneously show adjacent video of the photographers discussing their work.
