    241 - Agnieszka Sosnowska
    2024/10/09
    Agnieszka Sosnowska was born in Warsaw, Poland and was raised in Boston, Massachusetts. She earned a BFA from Massachusetts College of Art and a MFA from Boston University. She is currently an elementary school teacher. She lives on farmin East Iceland. She is recognised for her self portraits that span 30 years. Currently she is working on series that embodies her life as an immigrant in Iceland. She uses the camera to take inspiration from a land that is otherworldly.“I grew up in Boston and traveled to Iceland 25 years ago on a whim”, says Agnieszka. “I fell in love and remained. With my Icelandic husband I chose to live in nature, not visit it. This decision has not been without tests. Together we have made a life that I feel we are only beginning. Everyday, I search for corners of quiet. When there, I stop and listen for a long time. These places exist around our farm, with friends, and the students I teach. These places are my everyday. They are my everything.”Agnieszka has been the recipient of a number of grants, including a Fulbright Scholars Fellowship to Poland and an American Scandinavian Fellowship to Iceland. She was awarded the Hjálmar R. Bárðarson Photography Grant by the National Museum of Iceland. Her series was awarded the Director’s Choice by the Center awards in 2017 and she has been in the Top 50 of Critical Mass on three occasions. Her work has been exhibited in the National Museum of Iceland and the Reykjavik Museum of Photography. She is represented exclusively by Vision Neil Folberg Gallery in Jerusalem.Earlier this year, Agnieszka released her debut photobook, För, published by Trespasser Books and already sold out.Her collaboration with Icelandic poet Ingunn Snædal, entitled RASK, is currently being exhibited at the Reykjavik Museum of Photography until Decembet 2024.In episode 241, Agnieszka discusses, among other things:Early years travelling to Communist PolandWanting to assimilate into the USA as an immigrantEarly education in photography at Mass. ArtHer early interest in self-portraitureNot having a plan… but being a hard workerThe trip to Iceland that changed her life……and her decision to move thereA description of where she livesThe hardest thing to adapt to being the WintersThe first things she started to photograph thereSelf-portaiture and the suckiness of documenting ageingThe freedom of realising that you don’t have to work on distinct ‘projects’‘Myth of a Woman’ - her attempt at exploring the experience of womanhoodCollaborating with her students on portrait sessionsThe last picture in the bookHer collaboration with Icelandic poet Ingunn Snædal, RASK, currently an exhibition at the Reykjavik Museum of PhotographyReferenced:Cindy ShermanMargaret JohnsonLaura McFeeIngunn SnædalBarbara BosworthWebsite | Instagram“I wanted to grow. I just didn’t know how. And I think the only way you grow is not by thinking about it but by doing it and making the mistakes. And I made a lot of mistakes. And thank God I did because in doing the mistakes I started to get more to having the self-portraits be more real. And that’s really hard to do. Especially I think as me having done it for so long, and also getting older in front of a camera, as a woman, it’s hard.” VOTE HERE FOR ALETHEIA CASEY TO HAVE A SOLO SHOW AT PARIS PHOTO!!Become a full tier 1 member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of previous episodes for £5 per month.For the tier 2 archive-only membership, to access the full library of past episodes for £3 per month, go here.Subscribe to my weekly newsletter here for everything A Small Voice related and much more besides.Follow me on Instagram here.Build Yourself a Squarespace Website video course here.

    240 - Robbie Lawrence
    2024/09/25
    Robbie Lawrence is a London based Scottish photographer and director represented by Webber Represents. Robbie is acutely attentive to the way images tell a story. Working with a painterly softness and sensitivity to his subjects, he deals in detail and nuance. From portraiture, travel and documentary to editorial work, he places the human experience front and centre to create thoughtful, abstract images, with an emphasis on narrative.Recent books include Blackwater River and A Voice Above The Linn published by Stanley/Barker. Stills gallery in Edinburgh hosted the first UK institutional solo exhibition by Robbie in 2022, bringing together a snapshot of life post-Brexit across Scotland’s cities, rural locations and coastal towns.Robbie’s new book, Long Walk Home, was just released (September 2024) by Stanley/Barker.Clients Include: UN, Apple, Nike, Hermes, Gucci, The New Yorker, Du Monde, The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic, I-D and many others. In episode 240, Robbie discusses, among other things:His recent assignment at The OlympicsHis internship in Paris and his time in New YorkHis relationship to painting and writingBuilding a career to encompass commercial and personal workHow working commercially can be a ‘relief’.His ‘macrojournalistic approach’His first book project, Blackwater RiverHis second book, A Voice Above The LinnCollaboration with poet John BurnsideHis new book about the Highland Games, Long Walk Home.Why he threw away three years worth of work and began againWorking digitally with ‘manual’ lensesThe difference between myth and historyA reading from John Burnside’s essay in the bookReferenced:The Tokyo Olympiad, Kon IchikawaThe French, William KleinJohn BurnsideRenton’s rant on why it’s ‘shite being Scottish’ from the movie Trainspotting Website | Instagram“I like the variety […] I like being on set. You become more like a director. As a photographer you’re almost the emotional heartbeat of a set. It’s interesting because at school and university I really found exams hellish from an expectation point of view. Like, I would put myself under a lot of pressure. And I would describe some of those more pressurised commercial jobs almost like a school exam where you expected to produce something of quality under a very tight time constraint. As a physical experience it can feel similar, and I suppose maybe it’s just experience that I can now recall moments where I’ve overcome those kind of stresses. So I like the shift.” VOTE HERE FOR ALETHEIA CASEY TO HAVE A SOLO SHOW AT PARIS PHOTO!!Become a full tier 1 member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of previous episodes for £5 per month.For the tier 2 archive-only membership, to access the full library of past episodes for £3 per month, go here.Subscribe to my weekly newsletter here for everything A Small Voice related and much more besides.Follow me on Instagram here.Build Yourself a Squarespace Website video course here.
