An Interview with Koudelka

Published by:

A very nice interview of an iconic photographer, Josef Koudelka. Besides his work on the Prague Spring, which propelled him amongst the best known photographer of his times, he also devoted lots of attention to Rroma. He produced a beautiful album based on his work, dark and sometimes gloomy, but with great sensitivity.
