Steve Stroud is the now retired deputy director of photography for the Los Angeles Times with specific responsibility for national and foreign photography.

During that time he directed the paper’s photo coverage of the aftermath of the Tiananmen Square massacre and the territory’s return to China. He also established, and was for two years president of, the Hong Kong Press Photographers Association that advocated rights for photographers in Hong Kong and China.The show will be up through December 18, 2015 at the second floor lobby of the west wing in the Annenberg School for Communication.
