Two weeks ago, I participated in an OPEN-i webinar about Haiti imagery. Louis Quail, another of the panelists, committed eight days to photographing Haitians during the month of May.
I wanted to present Quail’s work here as his photographs are products of a quieter, more engaged process than a lot of the photojournalism created in the earthquake’s immediate aftermath.
The Haiti webinar is not posted yet, but a growing archive of OPEN-i webinars is available at its Vimeo channel.
