I’ve been enjoying Eamonn McCabe’s photos of writers’ rooms in the Guardian for several months now. So I was very pleased to find this audio slideshow, in which he discusses what he has learned from the process.

“I have always enjoyed photographing loners. When I was covering sport it was boxers in their gyms. Now I’m older, I enjoy photographing writers, poets and artists. The one thing they all have in common is that they work alone.”
