At Dart Centre Europe’s London office, a roundtable discussion for students and professionals looking at issues faced by photojournalists reporting on trauma.
Photographers are often at the frontline of difficult reporting situations, witnessing and recording images from war zones and disaster areas. Images are a powerful way of telling a story, with great impact on audiences. But what of the photojournalists responsible for these images?
This roundtable discussion will address issues of self-care and support amongst photojournalists and look at the challenges photographers face in representing the people they are photographing.
Discussion will be led by Paul Lowe, award-winning photographer and course director of the Masters Programme in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at the London College of Communication and Gavin Rees, director of Dart Centre Europe.

Good job. That’s an important discussion. I hope it’s successful.
Nightmares (& worse) for the rest of your life, potentially. Important, yes.
