Great news! We are so thrilled to post this link to our fantastic archive of audio interviews with great photographers from around world. We’ve been recording these conversations for more than five years now, and our hardworking staff at Lens Culture Towers finally got around to pulling them together into one accessible place!

So – click here to scan the list (a virtual who's who of contemporary photography), and listen to photographers’ personal stories of epic journeys around the world; learn their strategies for new approaches to photography; explore along with them the contradictions of photojournalism and fine art; experience the shutter-click of decisive moments; share their thoughts on processes and equipment – and much, much more.

We recommend listening to these interviews while you click through each photographer’s work (or while watching their slideshows) – the insights are often amazing, delightful and surprising. Enjoy!

Special thanks to Zoë, Kara, and Millie for listening to hours and hours of interviews, and transcribing cool excerpts, and compiling this archive together into one neat location!
