LPV Show: 3.14 - M. Scott Brauer

LPV Show

In this episode, photographer M. Scott Brauer joined us to discuss his latest project about the New Hampshire primary called 'This is the worst party I've ever been to,' blogging about photojournalism at dvafoto, living and photographing in China, as well two brilliant books.
dvafoto launched around the same time I started the first incarnation of LPV, which was around the time social media started to take off. There was a small group of bloggers that I followed and dvafoto was one of them. They were very active back then and would write about issues and controversies in the photojournalism community. I also featured Scott's portrait project We Chinese on LPV so his work has been on my radar for many years. Yet again, another instance where I was finally able to meet someone I'd known online for several years.
For the photobook segment, we discussed Will Steacy's brilliant Deadline, and My America by Christopher Morris.
Thanks, once again to Brett A. Davis for joining us for the conversation and making some memorable photographs.
