Abstract or Description

The Writing with Light (WWL) curatorial-editorial collective currently includes Craig Campbell, Vivian Choi, Lee Douglas, Alejandro Manuel Flores Aguilar, Arjun Shankar, and Mark Westmoreland.

The WWL collective was created in 2016 to support the publication of photo essays for the website of the journal "Cultural Anthropology." The scope of the project is described in the Archive section of the WWL website (https://www.writingwithlight.org/from-the-archives), including links to the original fifteen photo essays we published.

We conceive our work as an expanded editorial-curatorial labor that supports and develops photo essays from ethnographers, photographers, and photographer-ethnographer collaborations.

In 2022, we launched an editorial initiative that further explores how anthropologists and image-makers produce knowledge through photography. "Writing with Light Magazine" considers the intersections between photography, ethnography, and design as a potent arena for communicating ideas and experiences about social life. Inspired by the emergence of picture-driven magazines, like LIFE and Vu, that circulated in the 20th Century, the magazine considers not only the potency of sequenced images, but also of how words and text are arranged on the page. This second iteration of our editorial project is published with the OA publisher Icer Press.
