The ongoing COVID-19 crisis has resulted in most Magnum photographers being restricted in their movements.

As part of a broader photographer-led response, a new series, Quarantine Conversations, will see Magnum photographers in frank, and unedited dialogues about work, current affairs, and everything in-between.

The pairings for these conversations will be made by lottery, and this second iteration sees Stuart Franklin asking three questions of Mark Power. The pair discuss restlessness, solitude, togetherness, having a wife as a doctor, a daughter with a canceled degree show, reading and upcoming books.

You can see the first conversation in the series, between Newsha Tavakolian and Rafal Milach, here.
