Conversation: Are you talking for me?
As a photographer, how do you ensure the story you tell is the subject's point of view? Is the story that the photographer is trying to project or the issues?
Is it the photographer's story or the story of the subject?
This Head On Conversation will discuss how to choose topics, places and pictorial conversations and ensure they represent the voice of the subject.
