Gregory Halpern - Episode 85

In this episode of PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf, Sasha has a warm and deeply personal conversation with photographer Gregory Halpern. They discuss his latest book, "King, Queen, Knave," published by MACK, and also revisit "ZZYZX," the 2016 monograph that significantly elevated Greg's career. Together, they emphasize the importance of knowing when to assume the roles of photographer and editor, and when to let the audience engage with the work on their own terms.
