Artist Panel: Kennerly, Balkowitsch, And Ziemendorf

LIVE | Started streaming on

Three photographers who came to the same craft by very different routes sit down together. David Hume Kennerly has spent sixty years photographing news and presidents. Shane Balkowitsch works in wet-plate collodion, a process largely unchanged since the 1850s. Chad Ziemendorf documented the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library as it was being built. The conversation runs across what the medium can do, what it asks of the person making it, and why it matters.
