Interview with Cam Crosland

Interview with Jerome Lorieau
WHO? A wanderer. A traveller. A beer drinker. A music fan. A FC Nantes football fan. A humble photobook collector. A French man but most people believe I’m British till they hear my accent. A European. And I guess a photographer. Sometimes a street photographer. Sometimes a documentary photographer. And most of the times a bit of both at the same time.

Kristin Van den Eede in Conversation with the Women of UP
The way I approach photography has changed quite drastically over the past years. I started out rigorously adhering to all the rules of traditional street photography, but I ended up feeling too restricted by them. I do like candid moments and I will never do a lot of post-processing, though. I love the idea that a photo is a bit like a fingerprint of reality, and even though I have influenced it a certain way by selecting a particular moment, framing it a certain way, reacting to it, I still like the sense that it’s a slice of life that I cut from reality and stored in my camera.

Interview with Karen Zusman
WHO? My name is Karen Zusman, but I happily answer to KZ. I came to photography about 10 years ago when I was recording an audio story about a group of Burmese refugees who were being sold to human traffickers by Malaysian state officials. I was in the region as a Buddhist meditator and when I learned what was happening, I based myself in Kuala Lumpur in order to make this story.
Interview with Ranita Roy
WHO? I’m a person who didn’t always want to be a photographer. Although I do have an early memory of being given a camera by my mother to photograph a school outing, I can’t really remember using a camera for anything else until I was almost thirty years old. At that time a friend showed me the work of some well known photographers, and also introduced me to camera fundamentals and the darkroom.
