Crafting Powerful Photography

Kathy Ryan was the longtime director of photography at the New York Times Magazine. For nearly four decades, Ryan shaped the way we witnessed history: January 6th, wars abroad and the impacts of COVID-19 and 9/11 We’ll talk with Ryan about storytelling through images. And we’ll discuss what makes a good photograph when we’re inundated by them, now that so many of us carry a camera in our pockets. We want to hear from you: What’s a photograph that stands out in your mind?

Guests:

Kathy Ryan, former director of photography, The New York Times Magazine; keynote speaker and co-curator of the 2025 Catchlight Visual Storytelling Summit
