Mission

The primary mission of Fotovision was to support photographers in creating, editing, funding and distributing a body of work. To accomplish this, it worked with an international network of photographers, editors, printers, publishers and arts administrators to offer workshops for photographers of all skill levels. As of 2011 Fotovision and its assets were donated to UC Berkeley where the University continues an annual artist talk in its name.

Workshops

Fotovision provided a range of one day, weekend immersion and 5-week courses. Classes were offered in digital documentary, studio lighting, book publication, multimedia for documentary photographers, long-term documentary project and marketing. Workshop leaders included Sebastião Salgado, Antonin Kratochvil, James Nachtwey, Gene Richards, Ken Light, Joel Meyerowitz, Kim Komenich, Alan Rapp, Erika Gentry, Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb.

Events and exhibitions

In collaboration with the Berkeley School of Journalism, Fotovision hosted lectures by photographers, film screenings and book signings. In addition, Fotovision exhibited members' work in exhibitions such as Aperture PhotoSF. The largest event held was with Sebatião Salgado in San Francisco where over 1,000 people attended a paid conversation and showing of Salgado's Genesis exhibition. Under Melanie Light's direction, Fotovision published books by Larry Fink and Stephen Goldblatt's Beatles project, with editions sold as fundraisers for the non-profit.

Partners

Fotovision partnered with Aperture Foundation, Pictures of the Year International (POYi), Fastback Creative Books and Workshop Asia, Digital Vision Network.

Sponsors

Fotovision was sponsored by Looking Glass Photo, Orange Exposure and Pictopia and private donors in the Bay Area community.

gollark: I doubt they could just fake clinical trials somehow and get all the regulators to go along with it.
gollark: The reason I think the assumption isn't great is that people see each other in multiple gatherings and so one person being infected means others are more likely to be and vice versa
gollark: It replicates what <@215706991748841473>'s code does. Also, I'm not sure exactly what you're saying.
gollark: (the code makes the same simplifying assumption anyway)
gollark: I'm pretty sure that (assuming the probability of each person at the gathering having COVID-19 is independent and just equal to the fraction of the population which us infected, which is not true but important to simplify) the number of people at the gathering who have it follows the binomial distribution.
