What’s it like to work with Aperture’s community of editors, writers, educators, and photographers, all invested in the value of thinking about images? In 2016, Aperture invited photographer and teacher Elle Pérez to present a portfolio of work in the “On Feminism” issue of Aperture magazine, and subsequently featured them in Tilda Swinton's “Orlando” magazine issue. Elle has now established roots in the art photography world. Hear how the experience of working with Aperture, as both an artist and a teacher, has been transformative for their work and career. In honor of #GivingTuesday, help start the journey for more emerging photographers gift at any level to Aperture.
