Originally from Curitiba in Brazil and now based in Amsterdam, photographer Carol Sachs works with a range of clients, from the New York Times, Wallpaper, and Vice, to Hermés, Krug, and Airbnb, embracing the opportunity to travel whenever and wherever. On those journeys, she shoots everything from soaring landscapes to intimate portraits, exploring the warmth and personality that people imprint on the spaces they inhabit, and on the things they create. We interviewed her about her epic 15-month trip from Japan to Switzerland, sharing a tandem with her partner, carrying her camera on its handlebars, shipping film to her lab in London along the way, and learning that “the world is a much less scary place than we believed”.
