Verve Photo

New documentary work. Please review this site and pick a specific photographer/project to share with the class. COME UP WITH QUESTIONS TO ANSWER that make this relevant to you and your classmates. When you present this, I will expect you to pass me your list of questions, with answers, and tell me how it felt to find out information about young photographers working today in the industry. Would you like to work this way? How would you do it? Who is Geoffrey Hiller, and why should we care?

VERVE:

Verve: endurance, fire, force, gumption, gusto, intensity, moxie, passion, spunk, stamina, strength, toughness, vigor.
Photographer and photo editor Geoffrey Hiller has created Verve Photo to feature photographs and interviews by the finest contemporary image makers today. Verve Photo is a reminder of the power of the still image. Verve Photo will also point you to new photo agencies, publications, and inspiring multimedia projects.
