Season Four Latest Episode
Ben Brody
In this episode of PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf, guest host Michael Chovan-Dalton continues his Chico Review series, this session featuring photographer Ben Brody. Ben joins Michael to discuss his two books, Attention Servicemember and 300m, both published by Mass Books—a venture he co-founded with Peter van Agtmael. The conversation delves into Ben’s tenure as an Army photographer during the Iraq War and his decision to work as a civilian freelance photographer in Afghanistan. They explore how both books serve as Ben’s personal reckoning with his role in generating propaganda. Additionally, they discuss his involvement with The GroundTruth Project, an organization committed to supporting local journalism in underrepresented communities.
