Welcome to Projections | Projecting Photographers

THIS IS

PROJECTIONS

PROJECTIONS is a live platform for the presentation and critical discussion of photography. Over the past eight years, more than 400 photographers — from emerging voices to renowned photojournalists — have shared their work, ideas, and processes with engaged audiences.

More than a showcase, PROJECTIONS is a forum for dialogue: a space where images are interrogated, narratives unpacked, and photography’s role as witness, critique, and connective tissue is brought to the fore.

The work presented has included searing testimony from history’s front lines: evidence of war crimes in Ukraine, visual accounts of displacement and resistance, and intimate portrayals of besieged communities.

By foregrounding the voices of photographers themselves, PROJECTIONS bridges art and audience, cultivating not just appreciation but civic engagement. It affirms photography as both a creative medium and a critical instrument of empathy, inquiry, and justice in a fractured world.

SPECIAL

At critical junctures, certain events demand sustained attention. PROJECTIONS Special Edition responds with weeklong programs — 5 to 8 curated presentations devoted to a single urgent issue.

Through the perspectives of photojournalists, artists, and storytellers, these editions offer depth beyond headlines: from the war in Ukraine, where over 80 presentations have borne witness to atrocities and resilience, to explorations of reproductive rights, gun violence, and the global impact of COVID-19.

Past editions have also featured White House photographers, including Pulitzer Prize winners, providing rare insight into the visual record of power and history.

The Protests Wednesday, September 17th | 7:00 PM EST | PROJECTIONS via Zoom

“As a photojournalist my job is to document what occurs in front of me regardless of my feelings or opinions about the subject. The Constitution serves as protection for all in this country something that is quickly being eroded. Our job as photojournalists is to show this reality”. Jaime Carrero

Join us next week, Wednesday, September 17th at PROJECTIONS as we showcase the work of three photographers covering protests around the county: Mark Edward Harris, Michael Brochstein and Jaime Carrero.

Mark, is a photojournalist based in LA and travels the globe. On June 6, 2025, protests began in Los Angeles after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided several city locations to arrest individuals allegedly involved in illegal immigration to the United States. Less than a week later, on June 14, 2025, I covered a "No Kings" protest in LA that was part of a nationwide movement opposing the Trump administration's immigration policies and the use of the National Guard and federal troops.

Michael, is a photojournalist based in Washington, DC and New York City There have been a lot of demonstrations this year in Washington, D.C. In a thirty-one day period in February and March 2025 in Washington, D.C. Michael Brochstein photographed eleven demonstrations and saw a lot of protest signs. Michael loves well designed protest signs that clearly convey a message, especially those that do it cleverly and with some humor.

Jamie, is a photojournalist based in Austin, Texas. “These images are specifically of protests denouncing the Genocide currently being perpetrated on the Palestinian people in Gaza. At this time it is illegal to protest Israel's position publicly or risk arrest”.

This promises to a thoughtful night of photography and discussion. Feel free to invite your friends and family to this PROJECTIONS, we’re thrilled to have these folks present!

We present at 7:00 EST via Zoom: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/6692503751

PHOTOGRAPHERS

Our mission is to foster a vibrant community of photographers by advancing vision, dialogue, and critical engagement with the medium. From emerging artists to Pulitzer Prize–winning voices, the platform connects and elevates practitioners across disciplines and geographies.

Through global collaborations, we champion photography’s capacity to shape discourse, provoke action, and render the complexities of contemporary life — from conflict and displacement to the poetics of the everyday. In doing so, we honor the craft’s enduring role as both artistic expression and cultural record in a rapidly changing world.

FRANK MEO

For over three decades, I have championed photographers as curator, collector, and advocate — producing acclaimed campaigns, exhibitions, publications, and editorial projects.

Through mentorship and pragmatic guidance, I support emerging voices in navigating the complexities of a creative career. Collaborations with institutions such as Syracuse University, Parsons, the New School, ICP, and SVA reflect my commitment to sustaining a dynamic photographic community.

As a juror and nominator for honors including the Xposure Global Focus Project, the Lucies and Critical Mass I work to recognize and elevate photography’s most resonant voices, affirming its role as a vital instrument of culture, inquiry, and change.
