"I just needed to get on with my life, and I saw people who I felt were going to look back at the Factory as the highlight of their lives and were going to live in that time, and that felt yucky to me. I needed to move on.”

“I had a creative hot streak in the ’40s, and since then, I’ve been pot-boiling.” And I thought, when I’m 85 that’s not how I want to look back at my life. A number of the very best photographers had relatively short productive periods. The people who had long productive periods tend to fall into two categories. The first are those who had an overwhelming and often documentary vision, like the Bechers, like Atget, maybe Sander. And then there are people who reinvent themselves in the best possible way, like Stieglitz, like Harry Callahan. I knew that, by temperament, I was in the latter category, and so that was on my mind.

James Freeman started Blue Bottle Coffee as a side hustle and the company has grown from a single espresso cart to 40 locations around the world today. In this interview, he discusses how he used negative space to create a signature design aesthetic, how Blue Bottle carved out its own space in a crowded industry, and how his previous career as a musician influenced his approach to business.

“How you take a breath influences how people interpret the emotional tone of what’s to come.”

It went against all he had been taught. But this image of Salerno harbour was a turning point for the great photographer, paving the way to his epic landscapes

Conventional Wisdom, a book by author-photographer Arthur Drooker, documents quirky conventions as expressions of community, culture, and connection.

Vigils for John Lennon, road trips with Annie Leibovitz, portraits of Dennis Hopper … Wim Wenders took thousands of Polaroids while making his classic films. He shares the stories behind them

“It’s not just the meaning of the image that has changed – the act of looking does not have the same meaning. Now, it’s about showing, sending and maybe remembering. It is no longer essentially about the image. The image for me was always linked to the idea of uniqueness, to a frame and to composition. You produced something that was, in itself, a singular moment. As such, it had a certain sacredness. That whole notion is gone.

He sighs and rubs his eyes. “The culture has changed. It has all gone. I really don’t know why we stick to the word photography any more. There should be a different term, but nobody cared about finding it.”

Dubbed “the greatest living photographer of America’s social and geographical landscape,” Alec Soth has been turning his lens to contemporary American realities for decades. Tender, intimate and often surprising, his photographs – which span portraiture, landscapes and still life to transcend the boundaries of traditional documentary-style photography – are arresting and engulfing in equal measure.

Have we been blind to the exploitation of children in the making and distribution of photos?
