Episode 52 GREGORY HEISLER (Part 2) Legendary Portrait Photographer, Author, Educator Welcome back to part 2 of this beautiful interview with Greg, we hope you enjoyed Episode 51 where we heard how Greg got to where he is today. Greg has been so open about his thoughts and ideas and also his vision when he's photographing different subjects, which kind of makes us think about things a little deeper than just lights, camera, action. Let's get back into the episode where we dive deeper into Gregs mind and thought processes of shooting Portraiture that reveals your subject emotionally. Don't forget the Rapid Fire not so Rapid fire round - where we always have a giggle with some very random questions for our guests. Greg also shares why his White House privileges were revoked after photographing one particular president....How stories can be mis-interpreted by viewers... We discuss more of what it takes to reach a level of success to shoot 74 Covers for Time Magazine. Greg always shares his views on the business way back when and now, how they're so different but not really that different if you take the time to look at it with a modern changing approach. Greg is iconic in the portrait world and for good reason, he's certainly someone I looked up to throughout my career. A very humble and logical man with a great mind for a practical and creative approach. We just want to thank Greg for his time and honouring us with over 3 hours of amazing conversation for this podcast, an amazing iconic Photographer and a very genuine, warm and giving person. What a lovely chap!

Episode 50 RICK WENNER Award Winning Portrait & Editorial Photographer In today's Episode we're going to be taking a dive into the Editorial and advertising world of photography but more so concentrating on Portrait Photography, but not just your normal run of the mill portrait shots. How do you connect with a person to get that ultimate shot is one of the many topics of today. Welcome to Episode 50, and today we’re talking with Long Island, NY based Photographer & Director Rick Wenner, a man who’s translated inspirational messages and intriguing individuals into emotionally powerful portraiture. Rick likes to invoke a little humility and wit into his shoots which has made him realise that great portraits are born when casual conversations paint the true colours of momentarily guarded strangers. In the professional realm, Rick devotes much of his artistic energy towards editorial, corporate and advertising projects and his personal work is propelled by people that inspire, and simply chronicling the characteristics that distinguish a person from average to unique. Rick appreciates some of life’s little treasures like a nice hazy IPA or a good bourbon, and still has a thing for cool hot rods and low riders, well this episode is where we get down and low with the man himself.
