Interview with Karen Marshall

“I started to realize that there was a language that women share with each other and oftentimes it’s really hard to describe. And so I thought, well, if it’s so hard to describe, then maybe photographs will really articulate it.”

Interview with Pablo Inirio

—Patrick Zachmann (Eyes in Progress)

—Alain de Botton (TEDxAmsterdam)

Interview with Emily Kinni
