Magnum Quarantine Conversations: David Hurn Gregory Halpern

The ongoing COVID19 crisis has resulted in most Magnum photographers being restricted in their movements. As part of a broader photographerled response, a new series, Quarantine Conversations, will see Magnum photographers in frank, and unedited dialogues about work, current affairs, and everything inbetween. The pairings for these conversations will be made by lottery, and this latest installment sees David Hurn ask questions to Gregory Halpern. David and Gregory discuss their routes into Magnum, photographing human interactions, the need to hug, how a photo of a Russian buying a hat for his wife changed David s life and keeping a list of things to photograph.
