Abandoned Moments is a book, an approach, a tool and a philosophy. Kashi reconsiders his deep and expansive photographic archive shot in 100 countries over the past four decades to set them free of their original context. These fluid and engaging images vibrate with the chaos, wonder and complexity of the human experience.

In this conversation, Ed Kashi discusses, among other things:

Shooting from the hip

Visceral cues and animal instincts

Becoming one with a camera

Play being essential to practice

Active investigation of a concept

Stumbling into results

Listening to ‘talking’ negatives

The beauty of decontextualizing images

Changes of heart and mind

The intoxication of the medium of photography

A joyful and collaborative edit
