We also talk about some of her beautiful short films, her upcoming gallery show in upstate New York this summer, what it's been like being her own subject in so much of her work and how aging has helped her evolve into the next chapter of her career, and the advice she gives to others chasing their own creative dreams.

Episode #264: Harry Talbot / Photographer
Cycling photographer Harry Talbot joins the podcast straight off a stop on the world tour to talk about growing up in New Zealand with an early love of cycling and photography and how a conversation with a retired professional cycling photographer would give him the courage to travel all the way to Europe, sleep in his car for months, and slowly begin to create a portfolio of the best riders in the world at the most iconic venues that has quickly brought him recognition and work with the biggest brands in the industry. During our conversation Harry talks about what it's like shooting grand tours like the Tour de France and the countless exhausting days of chasing the action and trying to get the right shot, how he developed his style of shooting and his goal of telling a complete story of the race through the still image, what it's like standing on top of a world famous climb with thousands of fans waiting for a rider to come into frame, where he draws the most creative inspiration from, and the unique aesthetic beauty that only cycling can offer as a sports photographer.

Photographer/Director Rick Wenner joins the podcast to talk about how he went from growing up in Long Island and working as a graphic designer for his family's bread company, to shooting iconic portraits of some of the most well known actors, artists, and influencers in the world. During our conversation Rick tells me about falling in love with the art of photography during his stint in graphic design and how a presentation by the one and only Platon would solidify his desire to one day shoot impactful portraits. Fast forward to less than a month ago when Rick photographed Platon himself in his iconic studio, and his journey is starting to come full circle. We talk about that shoot, as well as his other ongoing personal projects, how he was able to get Christopher Walken to laugh for a photo and Cynthia Erivo to sing for another, what it was like trying to set up a shoot inside of Sing Sing Correctional Facility, how he learned to trust his creative voice, and the advice he gives to others on their own artistic journey.
