Documentary Matters

Documentary Matters began in 2016 as an in-person meeting in Belmont, Massachusetts (a suburb of of Boston) with photographers and the public interested in documentary photography. Since its founding, our co-sponsor has been Digital Silver Imaging of Belmont, Mass.

Documentary Matters went virtual in 2020 at the start of the pandemic and then in 2024 we began in-person meetings, often at the Leica Gallery Boston. Our meetings now reach a global audience and draw on a photographers from all parts of the world to present their work and foster discussion. Presenters have included internationally renowned photographers such as Ed Kashi, Susan Meiselas, Rania Matar, and Barbara Davidson as well as photographers local to the Boston area.
