Just because you didn’t get to go to that awesome photography conference doesn’t mean that you can’t learn something from the pros! Occasionally, we’ll be featuring a recommended photography lecture or interview on Phototuts+.

Arlene Gottfried is a New York icon. Her photography has been featured in New York Magazine, The Village Voice, The San Francisco Examiner and more. Her unique style and personality bleed into her work. This interview was conducted by Eric Kim, who has interview dozens of photographers on his YouTube channel.
