Founded in 2022 by Executive Director Sasha Wolf, the PhotoWork Foundation emerged from her two decades of experience as a photography gallerist, educator, and advocate. Through lectures, reviews, symposia and her acclaimed book PhotoWork: Forty Photographers on Process and Practice (Aperture, 2019), Wolf has dedicated her career to mentoring both established and emerging photographers, sharing their insights with a broader audience while supporting their artistic growth.


Building on her book, Sasha launched the PhotoWork Podcast in early 2020, transforming informal conversations with photographer friends into a engaging learning platform. With producer Michael Chovan-Dalton, the podcast brings together photographers, curators, collectors, and artists to share their stories, processes, and practices—ultimately becoming the “Talky, Touchy, Feely” version of the book.


Now in its fifth season, the PhotoWork Podcast is a vital educational resource, offering free, insightful conversations with influential figures in photography. Engaging both professionals and amateurs, it fosters learning, artistic inspiration, and community beyond the commercial photography world.


Today, the PhotoWork Foundation continues Sasha’s mentoring legacy, supporting photographers across the U.S. through fellowships, individual grants, and educational resources like the PhotoWork Podcast. With a focus on those individuals without formal arts education or traditional career pathways, the Foundation fosters innovation in post-documentary photography through mentorship, peer support, and creative opportunities, enriching a diverse and engaged audience.
