On this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, I sit down with Betina La Plante, an independent portrait photographer who divides her time between Los Angeles, Europe, and Argentina.

Betina’s work has been featured in numerous international fashion, editorial, and fine art publications, and her career reflects both technical mastery and a deep sensitivity to the people she photographs.

In our conversation, we talk about her incredible experience having the legendary Elliott Erwitt as a personal friend and mentor, what it’s like to work with celebrities, and her exciting plans to pursue unit stills work in film. We also dive into why building strong community in the artistic space is so vital for creative growth and resilience.

In this episode, Betina shares:

• Her journey as an international portrait photographer

• Stories about her friendship and mentorship with Elliott Erwitt

• Insights into working with celebrities in photography

• Her vision for expanding into unit stills work

• The importance of artistic community and collaboration

  
  

This episode with Betina La Plante is a thoughtful exploration of artistry, mentorship, and the power of connection in the creative world.
