Amelia and Jez sit down with renowned photo editor and visual storyteller Kira Pollack to explore how photographs shape what (and who) we see. From her years at TIME Magazine to her role as Creative Director at Vanity Fair, she lifts the lid on the often‑invisible role of the photo editor: commissioning photographers, advocating for their work, and navigating the creative and ethical decisions behind some of the world’s most recognisable and powerful images. Through her fellowship at Harvard, she’s exploring how technology and oral histories might help us preserve visual history while protecting authorship and trust, turning her role of advocating for photographers shot by shot into a longer‑term project to build archives where images are remembered not just as files, but as evidence of what they saw, and the stories, risks, and relationships behind each frame.
