These issues demand deeper human-centered context, as displacement, political instability, and environmental pressure increasingly define daily life for millions.To Experience “Substitute Mother” DOWNLOAD TOTIM APPIn episode 017 of Exposures, documentary photographer Greta Rico speaks with Sofía Aldinio about the personal and investigative foundations of her long-term project Substitute Mother. Rico explains how the work began after the murder of her cousin, which revealed a largely overlooked consequence of femicide in Mexico: the children left behind and the women who step in to raise them. Through years of close documentation, Rico examines the social, emotional, and economic realities faced by these families while reflecting on the ethical responsibilities and psychological toll of photographing trauma within one’s own community. The conversation also touches on Rico’s broader approach to documentary practice and the working methods that shape her projects. She discusses how curiosity and research often guide the beginning of her work, as well as the importance of building long-term relationships with the communities she photographs. Rico also reflects on the emotional realities of documentary storytelling and the need for photographers to acknowledge and care for their own psychological well-being while working on difficult subjects.

We begin 2026 with a six-part series centered around themes of place, movement, and conflict. These issues demand deeper human-centered context, as displacement, political instability, and environmental pressure increasingly define daily life for millions.In Episode 15 of Exposures, Zambian photographer Chona Mwemba turns his attention to a force so constant it often disappears from view: everyday motion. Not migration as crisis but the quiet, continuous circulation of people, labor, culture and influence that binds Zambia together.Developed over several years and across extensive travel throughout the country, Movement observes how people traverse rivers, roads, islands, and rural corridors—and how those movements quietly transmit values, traditions, politics and mutual understanding. Mwemba frames movement not simply as a physical act, but as a mechanism for cultural continuity and social stability.In this conversation, Mwemba reflects on his own path into photography, his instinct to photograph from distance and without spectacle, and his belief that movement shapes how information spreads and how empathy forms. The images resist urgency, instead asking the viewer to slow down and recognize the labor, endurance and dignity embedded in daily transit despite the structural realities.This episode offers a deeper look at Movement as both a photographic series and a social inquiry rooted in observation, restraint and a profound respect for the lived rhythms of Zambian life.To Experience “Movement” DOWNLOAD TOTIM APPAbout Chona MwembaChona Mwemba is a self-taught Zambian photographer with a deep love for capturing everyday life moments that cannot be replicated.

These issues demand deeper human-centered context, as displacement, political instability, and environmental pressure increasingly define daily life for millions.In Episode 014 of Exposures DJ Clark speaks with Alex Gist about A Conspiracy of Guileless Humanity, Gist’s recent body of work developed in northern Bali. The conversation traces the project’s origins, from an initial workshop encounter to a sustained period of immersion inside a small, locally rooted restaurant that quietly resists the norms of contemporary culinary culture.Gist reflects on his path into documentary photography—shaped by years of long-distance bicycle travel, wilderness work, and academic study in religion—and how those experiences inform his interest in ways of living that remain closely tied to land, ritual, and community. The discussion moves through process and ethics: staying long enough for trust to form, the role of writing and voice alongside images, and the distinction between simply documenting a place and embedding oneself within it.The episode also considers the broader conditions facing emerging documentary photographers today, including sustainability, funding, and the value of slow, human-centered work in an increasingly automated media environment.
