Raul Gonzo stopped by for Episode 182. A Conceptual Fashion Photographer and Music Video Director, Gonzo directed videos for Tayla Parx, I Don’t Know How But They Found Me, Vicky-T, and many others. In the past few years, he began to develop an interest in fashion photography, which blossomed into a passion.
In this episode of the show Johnny chats with Raul Gonzo about taking to photography as a child after Gonzo’s dad gave him a camera; why he jumped from photography to film making; how the Red One leveled the field for people making films; about the process for pitching and directing music videos for bands; why he has stayed in Sacramento instead of moving to Los Angeles (and how that didn’t hinder his career); how staying connected to the music scene lead to having more freedom and creative control over the videos he directed; and how a book of photography opened his eyes and heart for fashion photography.
Thank you for listening, Listeners, to my conversation with Raul Gonzo.
