epa talks

Join us this month for episode 3 of Epa Talks, where we discuss what it takes to be a war photographer. With the war in Ukraine dominating headlines around the world and bringing the kind of violence and bloodshed to Europe that had not been seen in 80 years, we asked Kim Ludbrook, epa’s South Africa photographer, and Gjorgji Licovski, a veteran epa photographer who covered the Balkan conflict in the 1990s, what a journalist has to go through to deliver coverage of an active war zone like the one that is unfolding in Ukraine. We also discuss the role that social media plays in the spread of information compared to traditional journalistic sources, as well as the importance of war photography in documenting a world-changing event and how the images can influence or even change the course of history. 

Join us this month for episode 2 of Epa Talks, where we take an inside look at what goes on behind the scenes at one of the world’s largest events – the Winter Olympics. Epa’s sports chief, Gernot Hensel, Austria-based Epa winter sports expert Christian Bruna and Epa’s Head of Asia, How Hwee Young, will discuss all of the work that is done in the run-up to and during the Games to deliver compelling images of historic sporting achievements, as well as the challenges of covering a massive sports competition in a country like China, in the middle of a pandemic.check out the images from this episode on: https://www.epa.eu/epa-talks

In episode. 1, Epa talks to photographers Jim Lo Scalzo, Michael Reynolds, and Shawn Thew who were on the ground in Washington DC on January 6 last year covering what should have been a formality to confirm Joe Biden’s presidential election win. Instead, an angry mob of Donald Trump supporters attempted to storm the US Capitol following a ‘Stop the Steal’ rally outside the White House in what turned out to be one of the darkest days in US democracy. See the images from the 06 January Attacks: https://www.epa.eu/epa-talksfollow epa on social media: https://twitter.com/epaphotoshttps://www.instagram.com/epaphotos/https://www.facebook.com/epaphotos
