Visual Q&A: Roger Ballen

Visual Q&A: Roger Ballen

Simply put, Roger Ballen is on another level.

“My purpose in taking photographs over the past forty years has ultimately been about defining myself. It has been fundamentally a psychological and existential journey,” says the internationally renowned photographer. With this in mind, we decided a visual interview with Roger Ballen would be the most powerful: we asked the questions, and he answered with his images. Brace yourself….
