Interviews
Darkrooms is a newsletter dedicated to the creation of photographs. The whole process fascinates me. Like I already wrote on the ‘About page’:
"Before light touches film or sensor, before chemicals swirl or pixels align, a photograph takes shape in the most essential darkroom: your mind. It is here where we first decide how to translate our world into a visual conversation."
I want to read about the process that other photographers go through. That’s why this newsletter will also have interviews of interesting people, from all over the world. Does a photographer from Japan handle a photo project the same way as a photographer from Italy? Or Scotland? Or Kenia? Well, you get the drill.
Have a compelling photographic journey to share? Submit your story for our popular interview series 'The Dark Rooms Of...' through our online form and join the conversation about the creative spaces where vision takes shape.
