BARBARA STAUSS, a photo-editor
EDITING PHOTOGRAPHIC NARRATIVES – Berlin, 21st August 2015
This one day workshop will focus on visual storytelling. It combines a theoretical lecture with room for discussions and the chance to present a project for review.
Barbara Stauss works as a photo editor providing image research and visual concept development for editorial, NGO and corporate clients. She curates and plans photographic exhibitions for cultural organizations and museums: from project management through artist relations to catalogue design and publication.
BIOGRAPHY
Born and raised in Switzerland, Barbara Stauss moved to Berlin to study Russian and later photography and visual communication.
In 1996 she was a founding member of MARE – Die Zeitschrift der Meere, a magazine dedicated to photo reportage and picture essays. Since then she has been Mare’s image director, responsible for its photographic concepts and visual narratives.
In 2010 Stauss organized the relaunch of the German edition of Reporters without Borders’ annual photo book, receiving the Kress Award the same year.
In addition to these editorial activities, she curates photographic exhibitions and teaches photo editing seminars. She has been a master for World Press Photo 2006, 2007 and 2008 Joop Swart Masterclasses and a member of the 2013 WPPH contest Nature jury. www.barbarastauss.com
