Jason Gardner joins us on this episode of Firebuilders LIVE. He is a professional photographer who's 'Visual Anthropology' work has appeared in publications like The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Photo District News, New York Magazine, NPR.org, and SPIN Magazine.
Today, Jason is going to show us how to harness the passion and energy we feel for a topic and craft it into a photographic book.
I feel like Jason and I have very similar viewpoints on life...where the interesting parts lie in the "under layers." It's just that HE'S figured out how to take all those interesting pieces and put them together into fascinating, well-crafted book projects.
His first project was shooting Carnaval in Brazil, and he's currently developing the project “Carnaval: Rituals, Roots and Rebels.” That means he's traveling the world photographing little-known Carnaval celebrations in places like Bulgaria, Slovenia, Poland, Basque country, Spain, Dunkerque, France, Guinea-Bissau, Sardinia, the Tyrol mountains of Italy and Austria, Trinidad, Bahamas, New Orleans, and Cajun country in Louisiana.
Just to name a few.
The photographs are amazing...and the stories? The stories are unique invitations into worlds seldom seen.
We've ALL got interests, but few of us know how to capture that excitement into a medium you can distribute and share. Follow Jason's advice however? You'll be well on your way to helping others feel the same passion that you do through a beautiful photography book.
