Check it out...Donna Ferrato has a fabulous new website live and ready for your viewing! Having briefly interned with Donna almost a year ago, I know firsthand what a labor of love (and trial!) this baby was, and I have to say I'm really impressed.
The site, donnaferrato.com, totally speaks to who Donna is as a photographer, a woman, a documentarian, an observer. It highlights her humor, her grittiness, her love of the raunchy and the beautiful.
I'll be eager to hear more about her Ironbound Workshop in Newark with Philip Jones Griffiths. The two will be living and photographing with their students for the week, 17 - 21 October, out of Donna's warehouse loft in the neighborhood of Newark, a working class neighborhood featured in the New York Times in 2004.
Donna Ferrato has spent the past 30+ years showing us close-encounters with domestic violence, love, sex and intimate views few other photographers have captured. Her books include: Living with the Enemy; Love and Lust; Amore; and Honeymoon Killers. Donna's books are available through many bookstores, as well as at Amazon.com
Philip Jones Griffiths has been a member the Magnum photo agency since 1966, where he was also President for five. Griffiths is best known for his images of Vietnam, images that showed the trauma of war experienced by the Vietnamese - a perspective overlooked by many photojournalists and, certainly, publications during and immediately after the war.
