It took two years for Vanessa Heins and I to make this interview happen.

There was a global pandemic, a cross-province change of address, loss, healing, work, and LIFE.

Many times I wanted to leave her alone and stop pursuing the interview, but Vanessa always kept the door open and promised that when the time was right, she’d reach out.

And she did…

Her photographic work is everywhere; capturing some of the world’s most prolific artists, and though I’d love to name drop her list of major muses…I won’t, because I know that’s something Vanessa would never do.

She is still, kind, collected, honest, and can capture a perfect moment with apparent ease, as she is herself, an artist.

At the time of this episode going live, Vanessa will be on tour across Canada with City and Colour.

I dropped a name…

Enjoy.
