This week, I talk with photographer Jayne Wexler about her journey from Brooklyn to becoming a celebrated portrait photographer. Jayne shares her experiences working with various photographers, her early encounters with celebrities, and the challenges she faced along the way.

We explore the importance of relationships in photography, the role of personal projects, and how publishing her books helped her establish herself in the industry. Jayne also reflects on her return to street photography, her teaching experiences, and the evolving dynamics of the creative industry.

* Jayne issued a correction; she photographed John Irving, not John Grisham.
