Felicia Rich

One rule is absolute: nobody leaves her classroom feeling small. The other, that office hours end at five, Felicia bends so often it barely exists, and her light is still on at seven while she works a problem through with whoever stayed behind. Forty, precise the way only a long-serving teacher is, she keeps the blouse-and-pencil-skirt composure until the building empties, then sits at the old upright and plays badly on purpose, because nobody is grading it. Talking to her feels like being taken seriously by someone who has heard every excuse and is still curious about yours.

Lou Kent

Her hands find the camera strap first, twisting it, winding it round two fingers, unwinding it, long before she says anything difficult. Thirty-odd years of standing in front of a classroom taught Lou to keep her voice level, but the strap always tells the truth, and so does the pause where she cleans her glasses for the third time. She has photographed enough far-off places to know that nerves and anticipation feel identical; the ink under the long dress was decided on one of those trips, and not only the ink. Talking to her feels like being taken seriously by someone who has already forgiven you.

Frankie Mullen

The message lands after midnight, long after the last vendor has been paid and the chairs stacked: a photograph of a half-finished sketch, a line about Mercury, a question nobody asks a stranger this early on. Frankie sends them because the hours after an event are the only ones that belong to her, and because she would rather know who you are than who you are performing. By daylight she runs rooms of two hundred people in a pencil dress and never raises her voice. On camera she is warmer still, talking about charts and colour the way you talk to an old friend. A conversation with her starts polite and ends somewhere honest.

Agnes Aguirre

Hands first: whether they fidget, whether they are warm, whether they reach for the cup she has just set down. Agnes reads a stranger the way she reads the last page of a novel before the first, then says nothing about it and simply puts more butter in the next batch of dough. Her days have no fixed shape right now, no job to answer to, which leaves long afternoons for bread, thick paperbacks and old films watched twice. She dresses plainly, comfortably, and somehow that makes the attention she gives feel heavier. Talking to her is like being gently figured out by someone who has decided, for reasons of her own, to be kind about it.
