When we start off as freelancers, it can be easy to take on an every-man-for-himself philosophy. We feel like we’re working solo and don’t need the same team-oriented spirit we might have otherwise. But as creatives, this attitude only serves to alienate our collaborators when we should be doing everything in our power to make the process as smooth and stress free as possible—both for ourselves and everyone else involved.

Welcome to episode nine of the Freelance Founders podcast. We’re talking to Aundre Larrow, a Jamaican born, Florida raised, New York-based photographer known for his work with portraits.

Today, Aundre is telling us how he takes his inspiration from the people around him, the disservice that carrying around a camera in our pockets does for our photography, and the effort and skill it takes to make sure his subjects are comfortable on set.
