As the world’s most famous photographic agency, Magnum Photos has been the benchmark of photographic excellence and innovation for over 60 years. Magnum photographers participate in a variety of cultural and educational events that promote photographic authorship and offer a unique perspective to the world around us. Because of the breadth of activities that Magnum photographers participate in, Magnum Photos is pleased to announce the official launch of the Magnum Photos Events webpage. By offering a complete schedule and listing of Magnum events across the globe, the Magnum Photos Event page is driven by the desire to reach out to the photographic community. As a dynamic site, the events page will serve as a hub of engagement for the photographic and arts community at large.

Access To Life
In Access To Life, eight Magnum photographers document people in nine countries around the world before and four months after they began antiretroviral treatment for AIDS. Here are faces, voices, and stories representing those millions of people who by now would be dead if not for access to free antiretroviral drugs. These are people who are living with HIV, working, caring for their children, and experiencing the joys and struggles of being alive.
Magnum In Motion
Founded in New York, in 2004, Magnum In Motion is the multimedia digital studio of Magnum Photos. In Motion assembles visual narratives for online and offline platforms, including screenings in museums, festivals, and workshops, and soon, a DVD collection.
Longsight helped Magnum migrate away from a proprietary content management system to Drupal. A number of multimedia modules are in place to allow for dynamic image resizing, podcast uploading, and valid iTunes podcast feeds.
Access To Life
Longsight recently helped Magnum Photos and The Global Fund launch a new Drupal-powered focus site: Access To Life.
