How did the series begin?
Hannah Price:I grew up in Fort Collins, Colo., and never experienced men publicly expressing their sexual interest in me till I moved to Philadelphia. At the time it was an unusual experience and threw me off guard.
TMN:Describe the moment when you turn your camera on the guy.
HP:Once a guy catcalls me, depending on the situation, I would either candidly take their photograph or walk up to them and ask if I can take their photograph. They usually agree and we talk about our lives as I make their portrait.
TMN:You do a lot of portrait work. How much of yourself is in each shot?
HP:I always make sure the lighting and composition is as beautiful as possible and try and capture what is interesting about the person.
TMN:Editing a series like this, do you detach yourself?
HP:No.
TMN:What’s your favorite camera at the moment?
HP:Mamiya 7 and Panasonic AVCHD 40 video camera.
TMN:What do you think of shooting with your cell phone?
HP:Camera phones take great pictures! I personally won’t use them for professional use, but don’t mind if others do!
TMN:When was the last time you were made uncomfortable by someone else’s artwork?
HP:A Clifford Owens performance last year.
TMN:Can you elaborate on that?
HP:I’d prefer not to.
