This episode marks the start of Season Two of Viewfinders. With the new season comes a tweak in the format. While the new season will still include interviews with industry creatives as it did in Season One, it will also include “shoot diaries” where Nick Fancher gives you insight into his creative process on a particular shoot.

This episode will take you behind the scenes on Fancher’s two shoots with Grammy award-winning metal band, Korn. The first shoot was Fancher’s visual contribution to The Nothing, the bands 13th album, and the second was an editorial shoot for Revolver Magazine.

Aside from discussing how he concepted and executed his signature techniques in the shoot, Fancher spends a significant portion of the episode talking about how he has been coming to terms with past trauma in his life and allowing it to inform how creative process.
