Interview with Jonathan Jasberg
WHO? I’m a minimalist vagabond, propelled by photography.

Interview with Manu Thomas
WHO? I am from Kerala, India. I work as a game programmer. I’d been drawing and painting from a very young age. Did it close to 15 years before dropping it completely one day when engineering appeared to be more lucrative than the prospects of pursuing art. A few years later, the guilt of abandoning painting started gnawing at me and every attempt at picking it back up failed miserably. During this period, around 2008, I got curious about photography, street photography in particular.
Interview with Hiroshi Tabata
WHO? My name is Hiroshi Tabata. I’m originally from Japan, but I have lived in the U.K. for almost half of my life now. I used to travel a lot, and photography was a big part of it. As the priorities in life change, I had been away from traveling and then photography as well. However, it was around the end of 2015 when I started shooting on the streets as a routine.
Interview with Albin Brassart
WHO? My name is Albin Brassart, I am 46 years old and I live in Paris, but not for much longer. The mountains, the Alps, and another life is calling me, my wife and my two daughters. I discovered photography because my father was a still life photographer. I spent a lot of time in his studio, but never learned anything until he gave me his Nikkormat and a 35mm lens—which was gathering dust—for my 16th birthday. From then on, I started buying all kinds of cameras, completely possessed and obsessed with photography.

Interview with Sonia Goydenko
WHO? I moved to the United States from Ukraine in 1991 and grew up in the NY/NJ area.

I remember looking at it and realizing that I had captured an essence of him that I had never before seen photographed.
