On this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, I sit down with Darell Peacock, a New York City native and portrait photographer now based in West Hollywood, California. Darell is known for capturing authentic portraits of strangers, creating images that reveal honesty, depth, and connection.

Our conversation explores the art of portrait photography and how Darell approaches his craft in a way that allows his subjects to feel at ease in front of the lens. We also discuss the intersection of creativity and mental health, and how photography can be both a form of expression and a tool for healing.

In this episode, Darell shares:

• His journey from New York City to West Hollywood

• How he captures authentic, unguarded portraits of strangers

• The techniques he uses to help subjects feel comfortable and seen

• Insights into creativity, resilience, and mental health

• Why portrait photography is ultimately about human connection

  
  

This conversation with Darell Peacock is a reminder of the power of photography to break barriers, tell stories, and celebrate the human spirit.
