Bouwe Brouwer in Conversation with Blake Andrews
BA: How’s your day going? BB: Pretty good. Pretty intense couple of weeks at work, but also preparing a small exhibition. But also interesting and fun. And the UP thing was definitely the cherry on top. Nice to have you onboard. What’s the exhibition? I have been shooting in my old hometown, where I lived […]
Julia Baier in Conversation with Blake Andrews
Blake Andrews: Where did you grow up?
Julia Baier: I grew up in the south of Germany, in Bavaria in a small town, Passau, next to three rivers.
Blake Andrews: How did you first get interested in photography?
Julia Baier: My interest in photography first started when it was clear that I would leave the town to go study elsewhere. So it was the classical aspect of photography to archive and to hold on things to keep it better in memory. I went to buy my first camera, a Minolta X300. And I also did my first internship in a small photo shop in Passau — this was the best I could do. The person working in the photo lab introduced me to b/w photography, so I fell completely in love with darkroom work.
Jack Simpson in Conversation with Blake Andrews
Blake Andrews: Where are you from and how did you first get into photography?
Jack Simpson: Well I was born in Michigan and grew up in North Carolina. I moved out to San Francisco in 2010 and have been in the San Francisco Bay area ever since. When I first moved to San Francisco all I could afford was a studio apartment in the notorious Tenderloin district. I began documenting the things I would see in my neighborhood and on my way to work with an iPhone 3 or whatever was available, an old Nikon…Fights, crime scenes, crazy characters— you name it, the place was begging to be photographed.
Melissa O’Shaughnessy in Conversation with Blake Andrews
Blake Andrews: Where are you from?
Melissa O’Shaughnessy: I grew up in Minneapolis, but have been living in the New York City area since 1991.
Blake Andrews: Can you trace your interest in photography back to your roots?
Melissa O’Shaughnessy:
I really came to photography quite late—when my children were in high school. But my father was an avid amateur photographer so there may be a genetic influence.
Alison McCauley in Conversation with Blake Andrews
Blake Andrews: Can you tell me a bit about your journey? Where are you from? What were your early artistic influences?
Alison McCauley: I was born in the UK to British parents but spent my life moving from country to country. My dad was a hydroelectric engineer. My earliest influences were painters: Rothko, Basquiat, Miro, Tàpies, among others. Then as I got into photography, it was Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank to start with, probably because they were the first I came across. I do still love RF’s work just as much though.
