This week, Alex sits down with NYC photographer, actor, and singer Shani Hadjian. Shani and Alex reminisce about going to musical theater school together and how that experience shaped them, open up about their eating disorder histories, and confess all of the tax mistakes they’ve learned from over the years as creatives. Shani shares what led up to becoming one of the MOST booked headshot photographers in NYC, some expert tips for getting the best photo of yourself, the behind-the-scenes experience of working on a network TV set, and the coming out journey that led her to meeting her amazing wife Emily.
