Visual Storytelling: Why We Shoot with Ron Haviv, Ed Kashi

Simply incredible! A must see! Thank you Ron and Ed.

This is an excellent course to get a better understanding of Photojournalism. Keep the good job.

Excellent course and discussion on Documentary Photography / Photojournalism. These are truly two masters in the field, with decades of experience. I highly recommend this course for anyone who is serious about entering or progressing in the field of Documentary / Photojournalism / Journalism / or Travel Photography.

The best use for present day photography! Two people that have used their creative power to inspire and make the world a better place. This is a class that every one should watch.

The why, the how and the impact of what we shoot told by master storytellers. Completely captivating and probably the most profound and important class in my custom self-made Creative Live curriculum.

My God. I don't know how you do what you do and keep your sanity much less your faith in humanity. What you do is so important. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. This was very hard to watch. Both of you have images that are so powerful and so vital. I am incredibly moved.

I've watched a number of courses on creativelive, presented by some of the most talented professionals in the photography industry, covering a variety of disciplines, but this class above all others touched my creative nerve like none have before and perhaps ever will. This is a true masterclass in the power of visual storytelling. Ed and Ron's career, passion, and dedication to their craft, explained in rich and raw detail, is inspiration enough to consider changing your entire photography approach, let alone viewing their stellar bodies of published work in their various forms. I learned as much about the value of my own storytelling instincts and reasons for picking up a camera as I did theirs. Whether you're planning long-term personal projects or simply looking for inspiration in your methods and approaches, do yourself the favor of a lifetime and watch this class. You won't regret it.

Just a few minutes into the class, I knew that I'd bust out the credit card and purchase it. I deeply appreciate the generosity of this presentation which is so directly relevant to the questions I have as I develop my work. Thank you.

A fantastic "inside" look at the reality of what's going on in the world, and a reminder of our responsibility to be thoughtful about how we behave when traveling the world and how we capture and share what we see. I've traveled to and/or lived in 44 countries and take a lot of photos - I learned a lot from this program and recommend it to anyone considering a career in photo journalism, as well as those who will be capturing the world's events - and most importantly, human beings. Thanks to both of you gentleman for sharing your experience and for enabling us with the knowledge you shared. Stephanie Hackney (www.hackneystravel.com).

Words can even begin to describe what this class has open my eyes to has a photographer and a human being in this world we live in. Today we seem to find ourselves living in such small stories compared to what the world has going on. But the truth is there are stories everywhere and everyone has one; little or small. .. Just depends on how we choose to tell it, share or live it. Ed and Ron you are truly inspirational and thank for being teachers and mentors to the upcoming generations. I have not been able to stop watching this class and been on repeat. Thank you creative live for also bringing us the access to this inspiration and education.. sincerely, Brooke Figge

OMG I was highly moved by this course... so powerful, passionate & insightful ...everyone needs to watch this regardless of their line of work... look forward to learning more from Ed & Ron

I was deeply impacted by this class! I was moved to my core by their dedication to not just telling a story visually, but to giving a VOICE to those who aren't able to have a voice otherwise. A huge thank you to Ron and Haviv for sharing a little of their lives, their obvious passion, their talent, and their wisdom!!! I would also highly recommend this course to anyone interested in photojournalism or anyone who really wants to tell a story with any photo they take and share with others. I am looking forward to other classes by Ron and Haviv and the XII team!

The content of this course made me feel and think deeply. So looking forward to learning more from Ron and Havlv. The world needs more dedicated people to give a voice to those who are exploited, disempowered and disadvantaged and I am sure this course and future courses like this will help to educate new and up and coming photographers. Great content, as always CreativeLive.

Excellent speakers. Very happily surprised by how interesting this class was. Would recommend to anyone interested in photojournalism!
