*Note from Producer - Hi all, I would like apologize for all of the uploads on this episode, I seemed to have replicated a bunch of audio level mistakes right before exporting and then I failed to catch them all in the previous releases. -Michael Chovan-Dalton / Real Photo Show
For the eighth installment of PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf, Sasha and artist, Dannielle Bowman, talk about Dannielle’s amazing trajectory, from almost giving up on making photographs, to being invited to work on the New York Times 1619 Project. Dannielle, who was awarded the Aperture Portfolio Prize this year, speaks at length about her work, and explains why and how she looks to create real ambiguity in her pictures. Dannielle discusses how shooting for the 1619 Project has had a lasting impact on her personally and on her work. The episode ends with a brief discussion of Dannielle’s experience at Yale in the MFA program and the strong bonds she formed there with her fellow students and professors.
