Photojournalism Now: Friday Round Up - 7th April, 2017

This week on Photojournalism Now: Friday Round Up - the Photographic Emotion festival is on in France until 30 April plus some great weekend reading. Next week I'm taking a break for the Easter holiday, so there won't be an edition of Friday Round Up, but I'll see you back here on 21st April.

Festival:
Photographic Emotion - Angouleme, France


I always enjoy featuring lesser known festivals, especially those from Europe where there seems to be such a vibrant photographic community. This week it's the Photographic Emotion festival held in the south-western French commune of Angouleme and the surrounding area of the Charente. Angouleme is not far from Bordeaux, a lovely part of France for which I have fond memories, not just of the great red wine!

This year the festival features three guest photographers: Warren Saré, Jean-Daniel Guillou and Jean-Michel Leligny who have been selected to represent a facet of the theme ‘History and Short Stories’. Plus 21 photographers have been chosen to exhibit from the open call: Bruno Mercier, Michel Claverie, Paul-Emile Objar, Brigitte Manoukian, Christophe Hargoues, Jean-Charles Dehedin, Anne-Lore Mesnages, Arnaud Hubas, Louis Oke Agbo, Arnaud Makalou, Baudouin Mouanda, Cushmok, Nicolas Auvray, Amaral and Barthes, Irina Sovkine, JL Aubert, Anna Bambou, Jean-Michel Delage, Emilie Masson and Sébastien Pageot.
