Listen Later

On this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, I sit down with Nate, a New York City based photographer and videographer whose work reflects both the energy of the city and the deeper connections between creativity and community.


Our conversation goes beyond images and film to dive into the current state of photography, the challenges and opportunities facing creatives today, and why community is more essential than ever. Nate also opens up about the relationship between creativity and mental health, and how artistic practice can serve as both expression and healing.


With exciting upcoming projects on the horizon, Nate shares his insights on navigating the modern creative world while staying grounded in purpose, connection, and resilience.


In this episode, we discuss:

  • Nate’s journey as a photographer and videographer in New York City

  • Thoughts on the current state of photography and where it’s headed

  • The relationship between creativity and mental health

  • Why community-building is vital for artists and storytellers

  • A look at Nate’s upcoming projects and future direction


This conversation with Nate is an honest look at creativity, resilience, and why supporting each other matters in today’s creative landscape.
