  1. New Economy for Photography (episode 2)

    New Economy for Photography (episode 2)

    New Economy for Photography podcast is part of an ongoing research by Marga Rotteveel: A podcast about a new economy for photographers. The ideal picture is that that economy is for everyone who plays a role in it, but practice shows that is not a reality. Underpayments, lack of Fair Pay, uneven playing field, power structures and exploitation also play out in the photography field. To be able to deal with this, but above all to come up with alternatives, it is important to first take stock of what each person considers of value in his or her life and work. This values-based mindset allows us to connect with each other and with the needs of ourselves and the needs of the world. It is this connection that builds the resilience needed for change to occur. The Master Photography & Society, led by lecturer Marga Rotteveel, organized a four-day workshop entitled 'A New Photo Economy'. During those days, we worked with the first-year students to visualize what is of value, and then to see what common values emerge from that, because more is possible in collectivity than alone.  From these insights, the economics of photography can be influenced, allowing photographers to build a healthy practice and livelihood and thus be able to continue making their work. Because we need those visual stories in our economy because they act as a catalyst for much-needed social change on important and urgent issues. This podcast is a reflection of this four-day workshop.
