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.

Please join us next Wednesday, June 24th at PROJECTIONS

For a thoughtful evening of photography as we showcase the work of award-winning photographers, Ron Levine and Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist Renee Byer.

Levine will share with us his Prisoners of Age and After/Life: Second Chances Beyond a Life Sentence work. Beginning in 1996 with unprecedented access to the world's first geriatric prison in Alabama, the work explores the human realities of aging behind bars and the challenges of re-entering society after decades of incarceration.

Byer for more than four decades has used photography to document defining moments in people's lives—and she continues that work today. Through stories of loss and resilience, struggle and hope, injustice and triumph, her reporting has focused on the human experience behind the headlines. Her Pulitzer Prize -winning project, A Mother's Journey to ongoing coverage of homelessness, domestic violence, health care inequities, environmental change, immigrant communities and women preparing for military deployment, she has sought to illuminate issues that shape lives and communities.

This promises to be a provocative night of photography.

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.
