Show Notes

Ed Cunicelli’s remarkable career spans over two decades, beginning with a profound project photographing life on the White Mountain Apache reservation in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins Center for Indian Health. Since then, his journey has taken him far and wide—from capturing the intimate moments of Native American and rural communities to documenting the intensity and humanity on the front lines of Covid-19 treatment in a bustling urban hospital.

What sets Ed apart is his unwavering focus on capturing not just images, but stories of joy, strength, and resilience. Through his lens, he reveals the dignity and courage of the people he photographs, transforming his work into a powerful testament to social justice and a catalyst for meaningful change.

In this episode, Ed shares the inspiring experiences and deep connections that have shaped his vision as a photojournalist. Listen as he reflects on how photography can shine a light on marginalized communities, amplify unheard voices, and become a force for empathy, awareness, and action.
