## Resource

In this episode we sit down with acclaimed photojournalist Ed Kashi of VII Photo Agency to explore his 45 years journey through documentary photography, visual activism, and the art of “candid intimacy" in over 100 countries. Known for his deep commitment to social issues, Ed reflects on the ethical responsibilities of the photographer, the emotional power of the still image, and the evolution of his visual language. We dive into his sold-out book with Eyeshot, “Visual Riffs”—a limited edition book now available for pre-order. Ed discusses how photography becomes a form of therapy, storytelling, and resistance, and shares insights into his creative process, from personal obsessions to field experiences across the globe.
