Through The Lens | S08E2 - @MICHAELCHRISTOPHERBROWN

TTL is a look at the evolving aesthetic of photography seen through this generation's creator class. For the second episode of season 8, we are featuring Michael Christopher Brown, an American photojournalist and artist whose post-photography AI project, 90 Miles, explores historical events and the realities of Cuban life that have motivated Cubans to cross the 90 miles of ocean separating Havana from Florida. The photo-realistic series was entirely generated by Midjourney, which sparked our interest for this episode. Tune in to hear more.

'Through The Lens' is a web docu-series presented by ADORAMA.

Michael Christopher Brown (MCB) was raised in the Skagit Valley, a farming community in Washington State. He became known for his documentation of the 2011 Libyan Civil War and the resulting monograph, Libyan Sugar (Twin Palms Publishers, 2016). In 2018, Damiani published his book Yo Soy Fidel, a week-long journey documenting the cortège of Fidel Castro. In 2022, Twin Palms will publish A Free Country, his work on the Cuban electronic music scene. With over 500k Instagram followers, MCB has exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum, The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the Musee De L’Homme, and others.

He has been a photographer at National Geographic since 2005, is a former associate photographer at Magnum Photos, and was the main character in the Michael Mann directed HBO documentary series Witness: Libya. MCB has over 20 years of experience working editorially, for publications including The New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, Time, ESPN, and Vogue, with NGO’s, including Conservation International, Amnesty International, and Save the Children, and commercially, photographing and directing for clients including Land Rover, Chopard, Nike, U.S. Army, Sony, and Hyperice.
