Ep 026: Caroline Tompkins

A SHOT podcast speaks with photographer Caroline Tompkins about a photo she made of three leeches feeding on a man’s torso. In the conversation, Caroline examines her newfound need to make moments happen rather than wait for them to occur; considers how embracing fear can be the ultimate motivator; and confronts the challenge of what it means to create photos purely for yourself, especially when you rely on commissioned work to earn a living.
