EP 149 – Through the Lens: Bruce Weber, Soul Behind the Frame
In this episode of the podcast, we explore the soulful artistry of legendary photographer and filmmaker Bruce Weber. Known for his iconic black-and-white fashion photography for Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, and Vanity Fair, Weber stood alongside greats like Peter Lindbergh and Herb Ritts—photographers who didn’t just capture style, but captured soul.
What set Bruce apart was his deep connection with his subjects. He created space, played the right music, and brought out something real—something beautiful. We reflect on how his soft-spoken approach translated into images that felt alive and intimate.
We also dive into one of Bruce’s most powerful works: the 1988 documentary Let’s Get Lost, a haunting, lyrical portrait of jazz legend Chet Baker. The film captures Chet’s brilliance, his battles with addiction, and the raw, poetic beauty of a life lived on the edge.
More than just a tribute to Bruce Weber, this episode is a meditation on presence, vulnerability, and artistic honesty—a reminder of what it means to truly see someone, and to capture not just the image, but the essence.
Enjoy.
It doesn’t get any better than this!
