EP42: “Life as a Documentary Photographer” with guest Régis Defurnaux

Join host Christopher Schoenwald of the Podcast, “LIFE AS A..” as he chats with Régis Defurnaux, a widely respected, awarded and accomplished documentary photographer.

Introducing:

Régis Defurnaux's works have been widely exhibited around the world in various exhibitions including Mall Gallery in London, European Parliament, Palais des Expositions in Montreal, National Institute of Art History in Paris, Ecole du Louvre and Cultural Centre of the Embassy of Japan.

His documentary photography work specifically for NGO’s including the United Nations, Save the Children, The Red Cross, Atina has been centred on documenting operations relating to gender-based violence, asylum seekers, disaster recovery programs, PTSD, rights advocacy, religious discrimination, women empowerment, war experiences, environmental sustainability and child protection amongst many others.

Reasons to Listen:

In this unequivocally deep and profound talk, Régis expresses the meaning he philosophically attaches to being a documentary photographer. Along with that, he provides practical facts and details pertaining to assignment preparation, timelines and itineraries.

His visceral stories and takeaway reflections from many of his projects including the covering of Maiko's in Japan, his work on a national campaign against domestic violence in Mongolia, his coverage of female soldiers in Iraq and his observations while on assignment in the Balkans are ever so stirring.

The talk itself is immensely engaging from start to finish. With the topic matter being such that it is in level of importance and significance, listeners may find Régis' words sitting with them for some time.
