This unique episode is a conversation w/ photographer + filmmaker Richard Louissaint. We explore the poetic symbolism of images, talk about the visual techniques that make our souls sing, and review a selection of images we created together. We discuss what we see and how we arrived there through the creative project. If you are (or aspire to be) a model, photographer, filmmaker, or visual artist you'll really enjoy this.
