Interview with Damian Chrobak
WHO? My name is Damian Chrobak, I was born in 1977 in Jastzrebie Zdroj, Poland. I got my first camera when I was 24 years old and started taking pictures immediately in the streets of Warsaw. Photography became my passion and I decided to develop and study it further. That is when I started learning more about it at the Academy of Photography in Warsaw. I didn’t know many people in Warsaw at that time and I would spend most of my days observing everything through a viewfinder.

Interview with Paul Kessel
WHO? I began photography late in life. One day with little forethought, I wandered into the International Center of Photography in New York City and registered for the most basic photography course for beginners. I would turn 70 years old in a month and had been at a loss about how to spend my time after I stopped working as a psychologist and professor, coupled with my daughter now having her own apartment and no longer living with me. I had always owned a camera but, except for a few brief spurts of interest, rarely pursued photography.

WHO? I am Annu Esko from Finland. When I was eight years old, I won some money from the lottery. With that money, my parents bought a camera for me. Since that moment a camera has been my friend. I did my career as a dentist but kept photography always with me as a beloved hobby. Now, as I’m already free from work I’ve decided to dedicate myself to photography.
Interview with Chanda Hall
WHO? I am Chanda Hall, and I live in Montclair, New Jersey, just outside of New York City. Growing up in a family of artists and studying filmmaking in college, making things has always been a part of my life. After moving to Brooklyn and working in the film and television business, I decided to stay at home to raise my kids but found myself struggling to make any kind of art. Digital photography gave me an easy, quick, no-pressure way to do something creative every day. After years of photographing my kids, friends, performances, and school and community events, I gradually found myself sneaking photos of people on the street when I was out and about with my family.
Interview with Kirsty Greenland
wHO? I’m a teacher and photographer living in Perth, Australia. I am originally from Melbourne but have spent a lot of my life living in different places overseas – I think trying to understand the places I was living in was what prompted me to start exploring street photography.
