from Photography and Walking · host Philippe Guillaume. Produced by Productions 3655 Inc.
In this first episode of Photography and Walking, Philippe reflects on a photograph taken by Mary Ellen Mark in Bombay’s red-light district in 1978. Through the story of Lata — a young woman lying in a narrow, jade-green room — he considers how walking became Mark’s way of gaining access, trust, and understanding. The episode explores how documentary photography moves between empathy and exposure, and how each step a photographer takes shapes what the image can reveal — and what it cannot.Dans ce premier épisode de Photography and Walking, Philippe réfléchit à une photographie prise par Mary Ellen Mark à Bombay en 1978, au cœur du quartier des maisons closes. À travers l’image de Lata, il s’interroge sur la marche comme geste d’accès, de confiance et d’écoute, et sur la manière dont chaque pas du photographe façonne ce que l’image révèle — et ce qu’elle tait.— Music: Beat’em with Rhythm — Victor Natas (CC BY 4.0 / freesound.org)Produced by Productions 3655 Inc.
