The Guardian has an article each week in its Saturday weekend supplement, featuring a well-known or otherwise "interesting" photograph, and an interview with one of the protagonists (but not the photographer) recalling the circumstances in which it was taken.
The photographs are sometimes snaps, sometimes press shots, sometimes by "famous" photographers.
This week's featured one by Paul Strand http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/may/20/south-uist-1950s-croft-john-maclellan-paul-strand
The whole series is here http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/series/thats-me-in-the-picture
For people who like to know "the story behind", it can be worth a read, and of course (as in this example) you get to hear what the person photographed thought of the experience (and sometimes the photographer)
