In this episode of the Alpha Universe podcast, Christopher Robinson, editor of AlphaUniverse.com speaks with fine art photographer and Sony Artisan of Imagery Brooke Shaden about her new book, Reflection.  Brooke Shaden is one of the most inspiring artists working with a camera today. To call her work simply self portraits barely scratches the surface and only hints at the layers with each image. She is a Sony Artisan of Imagery for whom the photographs she takes with camera and lens just mark the beginnings of her process. In her book, Reflection, Brooke has assembled a collection of her work and organized it thematically. We spoke about the book, how it came about and her interest in exploring dark themes.
