Detroit Free Press
Visual storytelling from emerging talent in the city.
That’s what the community-based photojournalism initiative Documenting Detroit is all about. And it’s why the Freep Film Festival is partnering with the organization on a series of three virtual events all free that will showcase the work of 15 Documenting Detroit fellows.
Documenting Detroit is a fellowship that works with up-and-coming photographers, with the aim of telling stories that are rarely seen in news media coverage.
The latest cohort of fellows spent four months building their stories. They were mentored by editors, curators and media professionals along the way. The completed projects blend photos and audio into mini documentaries.
