I met Paula Pink, virtually, during an online workshop in 2021 led by Andrew Hall, hosted by The School of Light. The work she presented in class often wowed me. It is not surprising since her knowledge of analog photography and darkroom work dates back to childhood whenshe enjoyed learning from a photography teacher in her school in Edinburgh.

I began following Sonja Langford on Instagram when I saw her photographs of Southern churches. It is an interest we share, although our photographs and stories are quite different. Then I saw her series The Woman Who Wasn’t Drowning and Gynecological Instruments. I had never seen images quite like those. As I approached the large prints, framed without glass, in an exhibition, I experienced a deep connection to the work. I felt it again during this interview. Thank you, Sonja.

Today we are looking at a collaboration between David Armentor and Brandt Vicknair, Density, a photography magazine that looks and feels like an exquisite paperback book with a satin cover and thick matte pages. The design is minimalist, the photographs perfectly printed. Each section begins with breathing room–a spare grayscale page imprinted with the photographer’s name, a QR code, and nothing else.

I was introduced to Carolyn DeMeritt’s work by Pinky/MM Bass. I looked at her websiteand was intrigued by her projects, especially Traveling South, Mexico, Embodiment, and Infinite Grace. I began following her on Instagram and looked forward to her posts. The book, entwined, DeMeritt co-authored with Bass inspired me to look more closely at collaboration between photographers. It takes trust to hand your work over to another artist for intervention.
