Capturing Creatives

Julian Race, visual artist and photographer out of Dallas, TX is joining us this week on Capturing Creatives. Without any formal training in painting or photography he has managed to bring a rare combination of emotion, vulnerability, and artistry to his work. In our conversation we talks about the craft, the informal training, the business and the process of making impactful images.

Jarrad Henderson, 2-time Emmy Nominated photojournalist and current USA Today Multimedia Producer sits down with us to discuss his career in photography and visual journalism. As a fellow child of military parent it is always intriguing to see the adaptations that are taken in response to constantly relocate. It gives us an ability see the world individually, in which Jarrad has harnessed into his craft behind the camera.

Jarrad gives a perspective on creativity from a unique dimension of storytelling. What are the elements that make a story great? How do you distill large concepts into relatable parts? What makes a compelling story? Would would he consider his superpowers to be? Are the tools essential to the process?

Also, Jarrad shares details about his personal project Beyond this Place, a visual documentation of African American Fraternities and Sororities. Documentary Photographer, Filmmaker, Photojournalist)

This episode of the podcast features Amon Focus. (@amonfocus) He is the creator of the platform New York Said, photography series and podcast. (@newyorksaid)

In this wide ranging conversation we explore:

How he found his way into creativity -

Being present

Shooting your shot

Not being held back by your gear.

In this episode we are sitting down for a conversation with Elliott Ashby. Elliott is a creative with the ability to express his voice in varied domains. Life has taken him across the planet and now as a New Yorker it's all coming together.

In this episode, we sit down with Demarcus McGaughey. As a professional creative Demarcus pulls back the curtain on his story and his process. As mild-mannered that he comes across on the surface there is a combustion of ideas and creativity igniting on the inside.

In our first interview we sit down with Trokon Nagbe. Trokon, a Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist explore the nature of his art and relationship with creativity.

In capturing the essence of a creatives process we habitually tell the stories of the culturally successful creatives and become enchanted in the rewards and acclamation from their contribution without ever peeling back the curtain on the processes that brought them into form.  Capturing Creatives is essentially the platform to curate the stories, processes, ideas and approaches that creatives utilize which allows their imagination to seep into the world of things and form.
