This week, Matt (@mattdoddphoto) is joined by Kansas City photographer and model Rue (@ruesdisposable) for a fascinating conversation about what it’s like to be on both sides of the camera. From capturing the perfect shot to striking the perfect pose, Rue brings a unique perspective to the world of photography and modeling.

They also dive into some hot takes about the photo and modeling world, share stories about searching for bears in Yosemite National Park, and discuss a surprising fact about the surprisingly short lifespan of raccoons. (You’ll never look at them the same way again!)
