"Everything I Do Is Personal" – Sara Messinger

In this episode of How I See, photographer Sara Messinger reflects on the experiences that shaped her approach to photography, from organising her family's photo archive as a child to creating long-term documentary projects around the world.
She discusses why photography remains a powerful tool for preserving memory, how shooting film encourages a more intentional and intuitive way of working, and why building genuine relationships with her subjects is essential to her process. Sara also shares stories from her travels in India, the influence of her upbringing, and how personal curiosity continues to guide the work she creates today.
