Season 05 of Perceived Value is all about transitions and begins with host Sarah Rachel Brown in conversation with artist and photographer Helen Maurene Cooper. Sarah and Cooper connected at a time when both women were (and still are) navigating transitions in their professional lives and working towards financial autonomy.

The two Philadelphia-based artists sat down in Cooper’s 19th century inspired Fishtown Studio to discuss her experience formalizing her commercial and commissioned work under the name Vanity Tintype to begin her own business. Their conversation delves into understanding the value of one’s time and properly charging for it, what exactly a tintype is, the pleasure of being a choosy business owner, and Cooper fills Sarah in on what a blue chip artist is.
