Kenza Barton Schlee | Five Years of Cyclocross Photography, Print, Painting & Process

A conversation with photographer and artist Kenza, reflecting on five years documenting cyclocross and the creative path that led him there. From early experiments and annual team launches to assembling a printed zine that looks back on the work, we talk about what it means to build something slowly, stay curious, and let a project evolve over time!The conversation moves beyond outcomes and into process—where ideas come from, how they shift, and what it takes to actually follow through. Kenza shares how painting, print, and working outside traditional cycling spaces have shaped his approach to photography, and why collaborating closely with athletes often leads to more honest, engaging work.At its core, this episode is about learning how to look. About slowing down enough to notice what catches your eye, understanding why it matters, and translating that feeling into something real. A reflection on creativity inside and outside of sport, and making work that feels alive rather than finished.READ THIS INTERVIEW KENZA SAFTY PIN STUDIOCYCLECROSS IS DEAD Follow us on ⁠Instagram ⁠WANDER SUBSTACK If you enjoyed the episode, leaving a quick Spotify review really helps small shows like ours grow :)!
