On today’s podcast I speak with photographer Thea Traff. Thea has worked with clients such as The New York Times, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic. Before becoming a working photographer Thea spent several years working as a photo editor for The New Yorker and Time Magazine where she got to assign and collaborate with some of the best photographers in the world. In this interview I speak to Thea about her experience working as a photo editor and how it has informed her career working as a photographer. I also speak to Thea about her love of B&W photography as well as some recent assignment work. I was excited to speak with Thea so I hope you enjoy and thanks for listening.
