    If  you  could  chose  anybody  to  photograph  w ho  would   it  be?   So  I’m  allowed  to  choose  somebody  to  photograph?   Yes  anybody  alive  or  dead,  famous  or  not  famous.   There  isn’t  anybody  really  because  it’s  a  kind  of   fictional  character  which  is  a  character  whose   expression  represents  us  all  which  is  a  bit  of  a  tall   order.  Somehow  some  people  have  an  expression  that   gives  you  a  real  insight  into  their  kind  of  emotional   mind-­‐set  and  they  are  the  people  I’m  interested  in  so  if   there  was  one  individual  that  could  generate  that  kind   of  face.  But  I  think  if  I  were  to  choose  somebody  from   history  to  photograph  given  carte  blanche  it  would  be   Hitler.  Because  it  would  b e  good  to  make  the   photograph  that  somehow  hints  at  the  truth  of  his   hideousness  or  maybe  represents  him  in  a  way  that   might  h ave  been  just  a  little  bit  more  alarming.   If  you  could  choose  any  photographer  to   work  w ith,  who  would  it  be?   Ah  right,  any  photographer  to  work  with.  I   think  it  would  b e....  That’s  a  tall  order....  I   have  to  think  about  this  carefully  there’s   so  many,  so  many.  Rodchenko.  That’s   because  he  was  kind  of  multi-­‐disciplined   he  was  an  exceptionally  good   photographer  in  the  way  that  he  recorded   the  world  b ut  he  was  also  an  exceptionally   brilliant  creator  who  saw  the   photographic  image  as  just  an  opportunity   to  make  something  else  with  it  so  his   montage  work  and  all  that  kind  of  collage   stuff  that  he  did  was  just  quite  incredible.   I  think  to  have  just  had  the  experience  of   working  with  or  learning  something  from   him  would  have  b een  quite  something.   Chloe  Jones
