British Council Talk at Chongqing University Film School – Listen in!
Last week I visited two Chinese cities, Shenyang and Chongqing, for the British Council as part of their Smart Talk series. We had a great turnout in both cities, with over 500 people turning out altogether.
One of the highlights for me as a photographer is to connect with my audience and be able to talk about my motivations and reasoning for carrying out my work. I feel many photographers often close themselves off and retreat from interaction with their audience. I embrace it. I feel it’s part of my responsibility to communicate these issues further though dialogue. These environmental issues are vitally important for us all to understand.
I recorded the second of the talks, at Chongqing University’s Film school, so that you can listen in. I broke the audio up into different parts, so that you can dive straight into the part that interests you the most, or just pick and choose which you listen to.
I have also uploaded the presentation (above) so that you can scroll through and follow what I was showing on-screen to those in attendance.
If you have any questions, or follow-up thoughts from the presentation, feel free to post them below!
