Mark Johnson interviews Kevin Liles, a documentary and commercial photographer based in Atlanta, specializing in covering religion, politics, and sports in the South.

Kevin has covered hundreds of assignments throughout the Southeast for clients such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, Sports Illustrated, NPR, The Wall Street Journal, and The Players’ Tribune.

UGA’s Photojournalism program had its first Photo Night last night. This was all inspired by Billy Weeks, who has been doing this for five years in Chattanooga.

Each of the primary speakers brought just three photos to talk about.
Mark Johnson interviews Dorothy Kozlowski, a Double Dawg with degrees in landscape architecture and journalism. She is a photographer with UGA’s Marketing and Communications Division, and the main focus of her work is to showcase the academic side of the University for its print and digital publications, as well as for its central social media platforms while staying consistent with the University’s branding guidelines. Her position requires a mix of photojournalism and studio photography skills (and, in many situations, a visually seamless blend of the two). Ms. Kozlowski is an alum of Grady’s visual journalism program. She participated in several workshops, including the 2009 Motorsports Workshop at the Petit Le Mans, an international endurance sports car race in Georgia.
