A Broader View: Photo-Documentation in the Context of Folklore Fieldwork

Time waits for no one, especially the contract fieldworker on a tight schedule and even tighter budget. We’ll explore ways to capture your subjects in the moment in simple ways with available light. Your host: photographer/folklorist Douglas Manger, Oregon Folklife Network senior fieldwork contractor.

Four photo-documentarians whose work we will visit: Walker Evans (1903-1975), Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908-2004), Mariana Yampolsky (1925 -2002), Mary Ellen Mark (1940-2015).
