Magnum Photos held their 2014 AGM in New York City last week. The first day of proceedings was held at the International Center of Photography. New photographer members, associates and nominees announced are:
Moises Saman has been made a Member
Bieke Depoorter and Jérôme Sessini have been made Associates
Sohrab Hura has been made a Nominee
“This is an exciting time for Magnum. We have consolidated and increased our photographer base with a very talented group of people coming from diverse photographic and cultural backgrounds. We have launched several initiatives to engage further with the worlds of digital and social media, while at the same time strengthening our relationship with our estates. Finally, we have managed a leadership transition. Giorgio Psacharopulo arrived at Magnum in a difficult time and, through his efforts and dedication, put us on the right path. I am confident that David Kogan’s experience as a successful media executive and entrepreneur, and his sensitivity as an important collector of photographs, brings the right mix of competence and vision to open this new chapter of Magnum’s history.”
