Josh Letchworth has worked with some of the biggest celebrities and brands out there, but before he broke into these other industries he was regarded as one of the best wakeboard photographers to pick up a camera. Josh got a later start than some other photographers, not really diving deep into photography until after college, where he began shooting live music. His journey progressed from live events into wakeboarding, where he built a career off of telling stories through his images. Gaining self confidence, negotiating retainers, having the lab mess up your photos on a shoot for Fox, working with Nike, breaking the rules, and what makes a photo “good”. Hear all that and much more in Episode 92 of the Grab Matters Podcast with Josh Letchworth!
