For three years, Andrea Star Reese, a former filmmaker, has been photographing homeless people living in West Harlem. Her first project, “The Urban Cave,” will be exhibited at Visa pour l’Image, the international festival of photojournalism held in Perpignan, France, beginning Aug. 28. James Estrin met with Ms. Reese, 58, in New York, where she lives. Their conversation has been edited and condensed for space.
