In 2002 the British photographer and photo editor Peter Howe was on a book tour for "Shooting Under Fire: The World of the War Photographer." Howe began his career as a fashion photographer then he documented violent conflicts as a war photographer. He was also well known as a photo editor and this collection of war photos became his best known work.
He came out to our studios and we had a lively discussion about some very powerful and challenging photographs. I had never listened to this interview until recently and I was thrilled to hear it. I think it came out rather well.
Peter Howe died in 2020.
