Ralls County Photographers Wanted for Mizzou Student

February 26, 2025

A photojournalism graduate student at Mizzou, Jacob Luebbert, is looking for participants from Ralls County for his graduate project. He needs 5-10 Ralls County residents to take pictures, using a disposable camera he will provide, for a week. Afterward, Jacob will conduct a short interview with the photographers about their experience.
The goal of this project is to become a photojournalist for a week. Photojournalism is a broad topic -- if you want to take photos of your daily life, around town, or an event coming up, that works. It doesn't have to be breaking news or a long-term investigative photo story. Jacob, who has worked in newsrooms as a photo editor and photographer, will be there to provide assistance if needed.
This project will culminate in a short photo book using your photos and interviews. If you have any questions or would like to participate in the project, please reach out to Jacob Luebbert at jacobluebbert@mail.missouri.edu or (816)-286-8820.
