A New Book Highlights How 40 of Today's Most Prolific Photographers Build and Sustain a Successful Body of Work

Art dealer, curator and lifelong photographer-advocate Sasha Wolf speaks with Humble Arts Foundation about Photowork: her new book of informative, career-changing interviews.

Regardless of how you define “success," being a successful artist is hard. From making a truly cohesive body of work or writing a statement that resonates and cuts through the clutter of art speak, to marketing your work and getting buyers, curators and publishers to care about your work, it’s daunting. And with the onslaught of digital and visual noise, the challenges are ever-evolving.

In response to so many of these challenges, Sasha Wolf recently published Photo-Work: 40 Photographers on Process and Practice with Aperture, a collection of short, sweet, direct interviews with forty photographers crystalizing their key challenges, how they overcame them, and how they continue to iterate and pivot to help enrich and advance their process, practice, and careers. While the book doesn’t offer a simple salve – it shouldn’t – it’s a refreshing and much-needed conversation.

A New Project Remakes Catherine Opie's Classic Dyke Deck With Photos of Contemporary Queerness

Photographer Naima Green and Photo Director Toby Kaufmann just launched a Kickstarter to support this timely project.

In 1995, photographer Catherine Opie created the now legendary "Dyke Deck,” a 52 card (plus jokers) deck of playing cards illustrated with photographic studio portraits of Opie’s friends, each representing different members of the lesbian community.

Today, more than two decades later, photographer Naima Green and award-winning, former Refinery 29 Photo Director Toby Kaufmann have joined forces to launch reinterpret the deck with a broader, intersectional understanding of contemporary queer identity. The new, more inclusive deck, called Pur·suit, also acknowledges issues impacting the transgender community in the United States, and is complemented by a continuously updating website with more than 100 portraits, video and audio files that tell the stories of each participant.

Inspiring as it is, Pur·suit coming to fruition will depend on the success of its Kickstarter campaign. It’s a project we believe in so we spent some time with creators Naima Green and Toby Kauffman to learn more.
