What Makes a Photograph Influential? | Kira Pollack | TEDxNashville

Kira Pollack, the Director of Photography and Visual Enterprise at TIME Magazine, makes a profound case for how influential photographs still have the power to change the world, even though over a trillion pictures are being made each year. She describes her landmark project taking us through some of the most influential photos of all time that she curated and produced for TIME, and quantifies the influence of powerful and innovative photographs.

Kira Pollack is the Director of Photography and Visual Enterprise at TIME. In October 2011, she was named the photo editor of the year at the Lucie Awards. Since Pollack joined TIME in October 2009, the brand’s photography has been recognized with many prestigious awards including the World Press photo of the Year, and the Visa D’Or award at Visa Pour l’Image. Pollack spearheaded TIME’s Beyond 9/11 project, which was awarded an Emmy in October of 2012. In March 2011, she established TIME’s photography site LightBox, and in August, 2013, she established TIME's new documentary film unit, Red Border Films. Previously, Pollack was the Deputy photo editor at The New York Times Magazine.
