    ROUND TABLE / PHOTOJOURNALISM / STATUS QUO

    Where is the journey going? How has the scene changed in recent years, what are the challenges and what are the experiences of photographers of different generations? How does the changing market influence the way of working? What changes do magazines and publishers have to face? What role do commissions play compared to freelance work? And how can projects be financed on the one hand and made visible on the other? How should socially relevant topics be implemented? Is it still justified that "western" photographers are sent out into the world and bring back pictures with an outside view? And what do we actually want from journalistic images and photojournalism in 2021? We explore these questions together with Natalia Kepesz, Now You See Me Moria, Dr. Ali Shobeiri and Matthias Ziegler. The discussion is moderated by Nadja Masri. The polish photographer Natalia Kepesz lives and works in Berlin. After graduating in cultural studies and art history at the Humboldt University Berlin, she studied photography at the Ostkreuzschule Berlin. She use photography as a means of self-expression to identify with hidden qualities of her character, to better understand her reality, and to express her interpretation of the world around her. By photographing, she transforms her own childhood memories. Growing up was always accompanied by the urge to discover something else. http://www.nataliakepesz.de/ Now You See Me Moria Initiated by Dutch photographer and photo editor Noemí in 2020, the activist project and collective Now You See me Moria was founded due to the lack of media coverage and a growing dispair about human rights violations at Camp Moria on the Greek island of Lesbos.
