Donna Ferrato on Photographing Domestic Abuse

Donna Ferrato on Photographing Domestic Abuse

on Nov 11th 2012 with 3 comments

Just because you didn’t get to go to that awesome photography conference doesn’t mean that you can’t learn something from the pros! Occasionally, we’ll be featuring a recommended photography lecture or interview on Phototuts+.

Donna Ferrato is a legendary documentary photography who stands with the likes of James Nachtwey, W. Eugene Smith and I’d even say Henri Cartier-Bresson. She has spent over 30 years documenting domestic violence against women. In this interview with Aperture, she talks about her work. The best part, she’s still alive and working.

You can see more of Ferrato’s work at donnaferrato.com.

I was raised in the suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio. After high school, I left for Western Kentucky University where I obtained degrees in photojournalism and cultural anthropology. I am currently employed by CityBeat, an arts and entertainment weekly in Cincinnati. The work I am doing here is very rewarding and I suspect it will continue to be. I am available for freelance work in all areas of photography.
