In this episode of PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf, host Sasha sits down with photographer and publisher Matthew Genitempo to discuss his latest book, "Dogbreath," published by Trespasser. Together, they explore how "Dogbreath" marks a departure from his earlier work, "Jasper," particularly in terms of personal narrative and photographic language. Matthew also shares insights about a pivotal critique session when he was in graduate school that significantly influenced his working methods and mindset.
