Ep. 014 : Vivardy Boursiquot

Image
I have to admit two things right off the bat in the interest of full transparency: 1 - I'm ashamed that it took me so long to get this interview down the pipeline. You often take into account the privilege to count some of the photographers you brush shoulders with not just as your peers but as your very real friends. So, in that sense, I really should have made a bigger effort to make this exchange happen wayyyy sooner. But hey, as you'll come to realize by the personality of my gracious guest, he doesn't hold a grudge - at least not as far as I can tell. 2 - I'm super jealous. No, really. If I have to sum it up...this phottographer has been producing some truly impressive and resounding work. And I don't say this lightly. A steady and focused(oh my, what a horrible pun!) creator of some remarkable work, I had to tip my humble hat for I have seen his work evolve and progress into something that I truly can say is both impactful and genuine in its own righ

Ep. 013 : Your photography sucks, here's why (Roundtable)

Image
When a WhatsApp conversation turns into an impromptu recording, what you get is an interestingly fresh and unapologetic twist - as it shows in this recent episode. Unfiltered, unpolished but indeed, still Safe For Work, it's definitely the most creative and enthused I've felt about a recording - especially after such a long hiatus. For this conversation, our third photography roundtable,  Vivardy Boursiquot ,  Dimitri Rousseau  and I will take a candid and sincere look at some the many and honest "reasons" why one's photography and overall body of work can and eventually will ...suck. We're not saying we're not guilty of these, just that we're honest enough to admit it. A fun talk which I hope you'll enjoy as much as we did. #StayAwesome If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element Direct link to downloading the  audio version available here (Do a 'Right-Click' - then sele

Ep. 012 : Chef Alain Lemaire

Image
I'm very excited about this one. Just to be clear right off the bat - this will NOT be a photography conversation. I've you've kept in touch as of late, you'll have noticed that I've followed through on my intent to take the podcast in a more authentic direction that was not entirely centered around my photographic interests. Still keeping in line with my core values of "Photography. Motivation. Life Lessons", the guests I want to sit down with will not only be from a photographic background but as diverse and colorful as their awesome personalities can be. That's what drives me. That's what I want to tap into and that I hope to be able to bring to you over the next few months. That said, on this episode, I welcome the very inspiring and ever-so talented Chef Alain Lemaire , Co-Owner & Executive Chef at Sensory Delights LLC. Chef Lemaire is based out of Fort Lauderdale, FL but originally hails from my native homela

Ep. 011 : Social Circle (Photography Roundtable)

Image
On this episode, I welcome back my awesome gang of creative misfits. On the roundtable's docket this time around : Social Media and its ever reaching impact on our mindset, norms and overall practices.  How are we coping with the millennial expectations of the "Want It Now/Need It Yesterday/Already Gone"? This is not an endorsement of the obvious and various platforms we choose to publish our content on.  I feel that's been done already. It's an obviously extensive topic and we've certainly got our fair share of ground to cover. A very active and enlightened conversation full of amazing opinions and anecdotes. I'm thankful to my guests Koralie Deetjen-Woodward ,  Dimitri Rousseau &  Vivardy Boursiquot for their insight as we dive into this exciting discussion - and to you, for tuning in. Hope you'll enjoy.

Image
On this episode, I welcome a very delightful array of fellow photographers ( Koralie Deetjen-Woodward ​​​​​​, Dimitri Rousseau ​​​​​​ & Vivardy Boursiquot ​​​​​)​ as we discuss the recent uproar/grudge match caused by photographer Jason Sheldon's scathing letter to Taylor Swift following her criticism of Apple Music and its policies . Yet another instance where we, as creatives and artists have to define where the line is drawn in regards to how we choose to be compensated for our work. Sure promises to be an insightful discussion which I hope you'll enjoy.

Ep. 008 : Interview w. Eric Lafalaise

Image
On this episode, a very laid-back but no less exciting exchange with filmmaker, screenwriter, critic and social observer Eric Lafalaise . Eric's personal and singular insight on creativity and authenticity have either left me shocked or perplexed, but have nonetheless never failed to stand out as thought-provoking. I do hope you'll enjoy this delightful conversation with a dear friend and fellow Defender of Awesomeness through whose passion and sensibility will definitely show you what I mean. .  [...] Full story here If you cannot see the audio controls, your browser does not support the audio element Direct link to downloading the  audio version available here (Do a 'Right-Click' - then select  "Save Link/Target As...')
