Jens Krauer - becoming a photographer, street and documentary photography to reach people and cultures

In this dialogue, Jens talks about his relation to photography. On how from the switch to becoming a professional, to the underlying values and reasons, this conversation is a small glimpse of how he uses his art to relay emotion and empathy.

It is the occasion to hear about his opinion on AI, on the importance of the tools he uses, and on how teaching and mentoring has an importance both for the transmission of the art, but also of the memories of our world.

Saerun Noren - photos as a magical mean to meet new souls and the unknown, to tell the tales

In this dialogue Saerun opens her world and the origins of her photography where she will often focus on the essentials both graphically and in her approach. 

She talks about some of her early photo experiences and how the act of taking pictures can be that magical moment that lets you discover world or people you wouldn’t have otherwise.

She shares a glimpse on how her Icelandic origins might also have inflected her ways of understanding tales and how she likes to share her art.
