"Exploring how we live on the planet”
Photographer Jason
Houston has spent over 20 years photographing community, culture, and how we
live on the planet for editorial and NGO clients and personal projects. His
engaged, long-term approach to complex issues captures informed, authentic
narratives that help educate the public and guide social and environmental
change. Recent projects include a global survey of conservation enterprises and
a campaign for the protection of 10 million hectares in the Amazon for
indigenous people in isolation and initial contact. He has lectured and
led workshops on cause-driven photography at Anderson Ranch, Telluride Photo
Festival, Harvard, Yale, Duke, Nevada Musuem of Art, San Francisco Art Institute,
Mountainfilm, and many more. Jason is a Senior Fellow in the International
League of Conservation Photographers, a Senior Fellow at Wake Forest
University’s Center for Energy, Environment, and Sustainability, and for 8
years also worked as photography editor for Orion magazine. Co-hosted by Art and MDOCS. Introduction by Bob ParkeHarrison (Art). www.jasonhouston.com
