Episode description as stored

When you witness war up close, do you still believe in humanity? Natalie Keyssar is a Brooklyn-based documentary photographer whose work delves into the personal impact of political turmoil, conflict, and migration. With a background in painting and illustration, her perspective has led her to cover some of the most pressing global issues, from Venezuela to Ukraine. Her award-winning photography has been published in The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, and TIME. The conversation focuses on the ethical responsibilities of photographers, the nuances of storytelling, and the balance between aesthetics and ethics. In this conversation: Examination of empathy as a core principle in photography. Importance of ethical responsibilities in photojournalism. Why photojournalists aren't neutral observers and the importance of accountability. How mainstream media and capitalism shape what stories get told. Insight into her unique approach to capturing human experiences. The balance between aesthetics and ethics in storytelling. Her latest project with the UFC and the intersection of sport, politics, and masculinity. The transition from photography to filmmaking.
