About
In the past five years, Chad A. Stevens has been a faculty member in the photojournalism program at Western Kentucky University and the International Center of Photography, a master’s degree candidate in the School of Visual Communication at Ohio University, a nomadic photographer and multimedia producer in Africa, a multimedia producer at MediaStorm, and is now a faculty member at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill while working on a documentary about energy in Appalachia.
Stevens has won awards in the Pictures of the Year International and NPPA Best of Photojournalism competitions, an Emmy nomination in 2008, a 2009 Webby Award, and is currently nominated for an Emmy in the 2009 Awards for News & Documentary. While teaching at Western Kentucky University, Stevens created an annual documentary photography workshop, the Appalachian Cultural Project, and won the University Faculty Award for Public Service in 2006.
While in Africa, he produced multimedia projects for Save the Children, AIDchild, Literacy and Basic Education and the Global Food for Education Initiative. When not working his time was spent wandering through Uganda, climbing a volcano, tracking chimpanzees, swimming in the deepest lake in Africa and teaching children to juggle. Prior to this journey, Stevens worked at the Kalalmazoo Gazette as a staff photographer and page designer.
He is a graduate of Western Kentucky University and Ohio University, and he interned at National Geographic, The Hartford Courant, the Muskegon Chronicle and the Jackson Hole Guide. During his time at Western, he traveled to Palestine and other Middle East countries, followed by some blind wandering of the Mediterranean coast of Spain. He was named 1997 College Photographer of the Year.
So as I was saying
or continuing the quote-ing:
‘boldness has genius and power…’
And that’s just so much, and a growing space of billowing:
That one would be so vulnerably sharing, and creating a space to share…
To do this Love,
together…
and understand a hope,
and will and way
and wonder…
Life.

Here’s to strength in your song.
Wow! what great work! I hope to someday experience things that you have and be able to so clearly show them to others!
My name is Tiffany Wilson and I am a photojournalism student at the University of Montana doing a senior paper on Multimedia Journalism. I would love to interview you about this still somewhat new medium to tell stories through. If you have time to talk, your experience, expertise, and opinion would be a great asset to me! Thanks alot!
