LOOK3 is a sadly over—time to go home. Waiting for my car to the airport to arrive, I’m sitting in the lobby of the Omni Charlottesville writing an article on Alex Webb. As luck would have it, Alex Webb is sitting right next to me, reading—nay, studying—the sports section of The New York Times. So, [...]

Donna Ferrato knows a lot about life. And during her INsight conversation she bestowed her hard-earned and penetrating wisdom on her captive audience. In that direct and gentle way that Donna has convinced hundreds of subjects to allow for her to photographer their most intimate moments, the audience also couldn’t help but obey and listen [...]

Brightness. A crowd of people. Canons. Nikons. Lowepros. Big Love. The room goes dark. To those of us familiar with the violently authentic illustrations of Stanley Greene’s world comes a sudden realization that we are about to witness an even darker moment. The air is quiet. And then Siri speaks. The stadium-size screen hovering over [...]

David Doubilet’s opening talk at the LOOK3 festival placed the bar high: very high. This advocate for ocean preservation—dubbed by festival curator, Vince Musi, as the underwater Henri Cartier-Bresson with influence beyond the pages of National Geographic—showed his riveting work and amused the crowd with his satirical charm. His beautiful tales from the Hopkins Islands, [...]

A final post before we at Corbis hand the blog back over to the kind folks at LOOK3. It was truly an honor! Thank you for letting us share a part of your world. As a preface to the final INsight Conversation on Saturday night, the Paramount was treated to a video from select truth’s [...]

We went to church these past 3 days at LOOK3, and concluded the service appropriately at the Works projections tonight. It wasn’t just the music though—every artist whose work was shown put themselves out there, courageously took a risk, and shared a precious piece of themselves. Tonight’s projects were personal and gave insight into the [...]

This year’s exhibitions present us with the work of masters, photographers who continue to document the world community, sometimes read about in the news or seen just outside our windows. In his exhibition Evidence, Stanley Greene gives us just a taste of some of the thousands of ravaged communities he has documented. Yet the exhibition [...]

Magnum photographer Bruce Gilden delivered his thoughts, memories, stories and witty commentary of his thousands of intimate moments with strangers. In New York’s Coney Island, he learned to make captivating and sometimes-offbeat images out of the most everyday of events, bringing attention to the absurdity that life can show us. His first trips to Haiti, [...]

LOOK3 has a way of connecting with the crowd. When Laura-Chase McGehee realized that the winning photograph from the Corbis-sponsored Instagram contest was the one that she had taken, she screamed from the balcony of the Paramount Theater. “THAT’S ME!! I TOOK THAT PICTURE!” McGehee, an UNC-Chapel Hill alumnus, had just recently left her job [...]

Taking her first steps on the frozen sea felt like Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon—but it was a fluke. After giving up her seat on a flight in California, she received a free round trip ticket on Alaska Airlines. This inadvertent trip to Alaska would change her life. It was there, walking towards [...]
