CatchLight
CatchLight is a visual-first media organization that leverages the power of visual storytelling to inform, connect, and transform communities. We bring resources and organizations together to discover, develop, and amplify visual storytellers at all levels.
The organization invests in the future of visual storytelling through its programs: The CatchLight Local Visual Journalism Initiative seeks to establish the sustainability of visual journalism by providing inclusive, accurate, and locally contextualized information to the public through the Visual Desk, offering editorial support, training, and strategic partnerships. The CatchLight Global Fellowship annually provides grants to three visionaries to develop long-form storytelling projects, engage audiences, and continue their work as innovators and leaders defining the future of the field. CatchLight’s public programs, including the Visual Storytelling Summit, Night of Photojournalism, and the Focal Point conversation series, highlight the impact of visual storytelling, and expand public access, understanding, and support for the field.
Dysturb
Dysturb is a creative agency and media organization that harnesses the power of storytelling and authenticity to create impactful campaigns in public spaces, schools, and on social media, promoting a fairer and more sustainable society.
With a background in covering conflicts and humanitarian crises for over 15 years, photojournalists Pierre Terdjman and Benjamin Petit founded Dysturb to raise awareness, foster meaningful discussions, and challenge stereotypes.
PhotoSaintGermain
The PhotoSaintGermain festival carries out each year a historical and prospective work, making room for emerging talents as well as for the most recognized artists of the history of photography. Organized in the heart of Paris, PhotoSaintGermain is anchored in a particular geography, rich in history and in culture, in the area of Saint-Germain-des-Prés; and seeks to gather and associate all the actors who constitute this particular topography.
PhotoSaintGermain proposes a free and open access exhibition tour in a selection of museums, cultural centers, galleries and bookstores on the left bank, presenting a rich and eclectic program proposed by the associated galleries; as well as several original exhibitions and new projects conceived and produced by the festival.
