There's no real publication dedicated to contemporary women photographers so we decided it needed to be done. We've made a curatorial selection from our long list of artists we've interviewed and was fortunate enough to meet gallery owner, Sasha Wolf, who approached us to collaborate in an exhibition to coincide with the book.
Our book is simply titled "Nymphoto: Conversations Volume I."
