About this Event
Every day, SF Chronicle staff photographers are tasked with documenting San Francisco.
Cameras in hand, they venture out to cover breaking news, illuminate the hidden corners of our metropolis and explore the people and issues that define our city in all its beauty, desperation and resilience.
Over the past several years, Chronicle photojournalists have depicted the ravages of the fentanyl crisis, covered the realities of climate change and captured the wisdom of Black elders.
Now, they’re sharing how they do the work.
On June 22nd at 6 p.m., join The San Francisco Chronicle Photo Team and Director of Visuals Nicole Frugé for a presentation and conversation about the ethics, practice and practicalities of photojournalism today.
In our next Chronicle Live at Manny’s, Chronicle photographers will share the stories behind some of their favorite images and take you inside the process of making them, from finding unique angles to earning subjects’ trust.
