Jens Assur
“How hungry can we get? We are hungry for larger servings, more gadgets and bigger cars. Meanwhile, large parts of the world’s population are suffering from a different kind of hunger.
The photographer Jens Assur wants to initiate a discussion. How are we and the planet to survive? How should the environment and the economy interact?
Jens Assur is one of Sweden’s most well-known press photographers. Since the 1990s, he has produced several acclaimed photo reportages and exhibitions. His pictures have a message that is often forcefully conveyed.”
Hunger, exhibition at Kulturhuset, Stockholm, 29 May – 26 September 2010

How did it come about that you achieved the status of successful, professional photographer? What steps were involved in reaching your level of success?
HW
I am not sure if I am successful professional photographer. If “successful professional” means I can live a good, somewhat luxurious, life by the profession, then I am certainly not. I am represented by well-established galleries in New York, Chicago, Santa Fe, Los Angeles, and others, and I sell decent number of work every month. But fine art photography requires a lot of money to produce. I spend a lot for films and prints and also traveling. I work full time 5 days a week and I don’t do anything else. My expenses are almost as high as my photography income and I have so little left at the end even when I am lucky. So, maybe I am not qualified to answer this question. Then why am I doing photography? I think it is a combination of passion and stupidity. For me, photography is intellectual, artistic, and curiosity fulfilling. I love making photographs.

Burn Magazine
Burn Magazine will start paying contributors :
“starting on July 1, 2010 Burn Magazine will start paying for every essay and single published online in our magazine….
we will have to start with a token payment of $500. per essay for one time use rights on work that comes to us through submissions…more for a first time exclusive….we are confident this number will rise significantly as we seek outside support….now we are doing this with your money….a big circle….the right thing to do in this nebulous time in the world of publishing…
Burn will not last forever…Burn will always be small….we only care about one thing at Burn and it matches the way i feel about everything i do…i just want Burn to set high standards and live by example…and in this case hopefully stimulate the “big guys” to follow suit…the large media companies , even with advertising for support , are thinking of every way possible to keep from paying photographers for online content, and we at Burn are thinking of every way possible to make sure the young photojournalists and artists of our time are compensated for their work….so, this is our brick in the wall…and oh yes, i am still working on assignments for Burn readers and icons as well…be patient, this is part of it…this is how it will happen….
photography has never been a professional choice either craft or art where people were expecting to become wealthy…photographers work from their deepest passions, either artistic or journalistic…yet, compensation so that they may continue their passion and yet feed their families seems to me to be fair enough….”
