Ed Kashi Studio

Ed Kashi is a photojournalist, filmmaker and educator dedicated to documenting the social and political issues that define our times. A sensitive eye and an intimate relationship to his subjects are the signatures of his work. Kashi’s complex imagery has been recognized for its compelling rendering of the human condition.

His innovative approach to photography and filmmaking produced the Iraqi Kurdistan Flipbook which used stills in a moving image format. Also, an eight-year personal project completed in 2003, Aging in America: The Years Ahead, created a traveling exhibition, an award-winning documentary film, a website and a book of the same name.

Along with numerous awards, Kashi’s editorial assignments and personal projects have generated five books. In 2008, his latest book was published; Curse of the Black Gold: 50 Years of Oil in the Niger Delta.

In 2002, Kashi and his wife, writer / filmmaker Julie Winokur, founded Talking Eyes Media. The non-profit company has produced numerous short films and multimedia pieces that explore significant social issues.

In 2009 Kashi will publish his next book THREE, based on a series triptychs culled from more than 20 years of image making.
