Fred Ritchin & the Post-Photographic Challenge

Dean Emeritus of the International Center of Photography (ICP) School Fred Ritchin has been portending the challenges and opportunities of the digital media revolution and its consequences on the photojournalism landscape since the mid-1980s. From the biggest photo-manipulation scandals of the 1980s and 90s that contributed to the normalization of misrepresentation of the image from a literal to a contextual perspective—Ritchin has been scrutinizing the role of technology and its ethical standards, issues, and opportunities with the hope to course-correct years of sequential ethical missteps.

Joan Liftin, photographer and photo editor

"Both as a photographer and as an editor, the photobook has been the thing that has involved me the most in photography and has aroused my greatest interest, because it is the clearest, and perhaps the only, means to express a personal vision about living and seeing. How you pair and sequence a stack of pictures in a book is what gives them meaning."—Joan Liftin
