What makes a great photograph? In 2019, Stephen Sackur spoke to
one of the pioneers of photojournalism, Marilyn Stafford. She was
born in the United States but moved to Paris in the 1950s, where
she became the protégé of the French photographer Henri
Cartier-Bresson. Like him, Stafford loved to capture intimate
portraits of ordinary people. She photographed everything from
refugees fleeing war to models on the fashion catwalks. Later in
life, her work was discovered and admired by a new generation.

This is another chance to listen to the interview with Marilyn
Stafford after her recent death aged 97. The interview was
updated on 13th January 2023.
