Jörg Colberg | 05.06.2016

Jörg M. Colberg is a writer, photographer, and educator based in Northampton, Massachusetts. Since its inception in 2002, his website Conscientious (cphmag.com) has become one of the most widely read and influential blogs dedicated to contemporary fine-art photography. In 2006, American Photo included Jörg on its list of the year’s “photography innovators.” In 2011, Life.com picked Conscientious for one of their photo blog awards, writing, “There’s not an ounce of fluff here, which is why Conscientious is rightly seen and lauded as one of the very few essential photography destinations on the Web.”

 

In addition to publishing writing online, Jörg’s essays have been published in photography and design magazines across the world (British Journal of Photography, Creative Review, Chinese Photography Magazine, FOAM Magazine, and more) and in photographers’ monographs.

 

In 2010, Jörg joined the faculty of the newly formed International Limited-Residency Photography MFA Program at Hartford Art School/University of Hartford, while also teaching at Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt) and Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). In 2012, he became a visiting assistant professor of photography at Hartford Art School/University of Hartford.

 

Jörg’s first book, Understanding Photobooks: The Form and Content of the Photographic Book, will be released by Focal Press in early 2017.
