Talking Pictures—an extensive online collection of interviews with photographers by Alasdair Foster—recently published an in-depth conversation with our photographer Michelle Sank.

In the interview, Michelle Sank sheds light on the themes that unite her large body of work: adolescence, rites of passage, body image and physical beauty. In all of Sank’s series, captivating environmental portraits address the staging of self and the search for one’s identity in an intimate and subtle way.
