Anastasia Taylor-Lind: “The Situation has Changed a Lot in Ukraine”

Photojournalist Anastasia Taylor-Lind has been traveling across Ukraine for more than ten years and paints a portrait of a country and a population whose daily life is punctuated by war. Her work, produced with her friend the Ukrainian journalist Alisa Sopova, and entitled “Ukraine: Photographs from the Frontline”, is exhibited at the Verdun Memorial (France), offering a sometimes disturbing echo with the images of the First World War. She tells Blind about her experience on the front and her vision of the profession.

“Lee Miller’s Camera Became a Weapon of Choice”

For the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Saint-Malo (France), the city is exhibiting the photos of Lee Miller, a fashion icon, a surrealist artist and war reporter who covered the siege of the French city of Saint-Malo (Brittany) as close as possible to the fighting. Blind met Antony Penrose, the son of Lee Miller and director of his mother’s archives.
