Featuring: Chris Whitaker ‪@whitaphoto‬ & Brian CrossEpisode 43 brings together two completely different worlds that somehow feel cut from the same cloth.First up is photographer and day trader Chris Whitaker, better known as Whitaphoto — a creative with a razor-sharp eye, a disciplined mindset, and a unique perspective shaped by both the markets and the lens. We dive into his evolution, his process, and the dual-life balance of making images and making plays.Joining him is my longtime friend Brian Cross, someone who shared the early grind with me back in New York City. We came up in the photo industry together — jumping city to city, taking jobs that sent us all over the world, learning the craft the hard way and loving every minute of it. In his early 30s, Brian took a turn most people never see coming: he joined the military and became a sniper.On my first night back in LA, we sit down and talk photography, precision, discipline, the mindset behind both trades, and the wild, unpredictable arcs life can take. It’s raw, honest, and full of stories you can’t make up.
