The Raw Society’s Jorge Delgado-Ureña on Why Intention Matters

Several months ago, after an editorial meeting with Bob, which was packed with beautiful and meaningful projects, I admitted that I often feel like I don’t know what I want to say with my camera. I did not share this with Jorge Delgado-Ureña, photographer, writer, educator, and co-founder of The Raw Society, but it goes without saying that our conversation hit home for me personally. In this episode, Jorge and I talked, among other things, about intention in photography. Why it’s so hard to nail down, and why it matters more than we might like to admit. Jorge shares his perspective on storytelling, responsibility, and the difference between simply taking photos and actually saying something with them. Plus, you’ll hear about how The Raw Society came to be, what a fantastic community it’s turned into, and what’s in store for the upcoming inaugural Raw Photo Fest . I loved hearing about a festival that will showcase photography in a way that is accessible to anyone and everyone, including kids, locals, and non-photographers. “Raw Photo Fest is more than a festival. It is an invitation to slow down and connect — with photography, with stories, and with Menorca itself.” – Christelle Enquist , Co-founder of The Raw Society and Festival Director This episode has plenty of food for thought, and it might just challenge the way you’ve been shooting. I know it gave me a little something to wrestle with. Links from the show The Raw Society The Photographer’s Journal (Jorge’s Substack) Raw Photo Fest Watch this episode on YouTube
