This week I speak with a practicing Funeral Photographer in Australia. John Slaytor seeks out the humanity and tenderness found in times of mourning. This powerfully emotive genre helps us remember the times that too quickly pass in a blur and help us to remember the passing of a loved one and how they touched the people around them. We also get to chat a bit about his personal projects that he does on the side and what drives them.
Check out our conversation down below.
Nadya Kwandibens | Concrete Indians & Red Works
I get to chat with Nadya Kwandibens about a well known personal project of hers, Concrete Indians. We also chat about how her company Red Works has developed in the past 10 years to what it is now, the work she is doing centred on indigenous matters, and the very valuable lesson that photography has taught her over the years. I found this conversation to be educational and illuminating.

Liz Cooper | Portrait & Documentary Style Photography
Liz Cooper's work is full of emotion and the feeling of being in the moment. In addition to her family and wedding work, she keeps busy by collaborating with other artists on personal projects, workshops and somehow still leaves room for experimentation. Check out her work here.

Viara Mileva | Documentary Style Family Photography
I would describe Viara's work as crooked, imperfect, out of focus at times, and never posed. Don't get me wrong though, these are the very characteristics that make her work incredibly personal as she immerses you in the moment and reveals the quintessential elements, emotions & day to day moments that make her subjects who they are. Check out Viara's work here.
