Award winning cinematographer Steve Cosens joins the podcast to talk about shooting HBO's new original series “Station Eleven” and what it was like trying to create a visually stunning post apocalyptic story that revolves around a pandemic, in the midst of an actual global pandemic, as well as how the story intertwines the message of hope, art, and community. During our conversation Steve talks about growing up in the plains of Alberta and finding his artistic voice in an art class in school, how he went on to study filmmaking at the prestigious Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, how his early job of creating karaoke videos ended up being a great learning experience for working on the fly, and how he created the career and body of work he is known for today.

New York based commercial/editorial fashion and lifestyle photographer Jacob Pritchard joins the podcast to talk about how he went from a kid growing up in Denver, CO with a love for the mountains and an early interest in photography, to working as an intern for pulitzer winning newspapers, to attending the Eddie Adams workshop, to moving to New York and sleeping on a stranger's couch, to finally finding his place in the ever growing world of professional photographers and building the body of work he is known for today. During our conversation Jacob talks about his recent project working with Acme Brooklyn on a shoot for Harpers Bazaar Vietnam, how personal work continues to drive most of his commissioned work, how he feels about the current pace of photography and how we both feel about slowing down and shooting for the meditational practice of it, and the advice he gives to others chasing their own photography dreams.

Artist Tim Biskup joins the podcast for a beautiful conversation about art and the life he's created around it. You might know Tim's work from features in Juxtapoz Magazine, or from gallery shows he's done around the world, or from his own experiential gallery and book store Face Guts. But on this episode we talk about Tim's early creative inspirations from skateboarding and punk rock to cartoons and monster movies, and how that led to a disillusionment with the world of fine art and how he would set about finding himself as an artist and his own place in the business that surrounded it. During our conversation Tim and I talk about how to find the muse and the resistance that can sometimes come in the search, we discuss our shared love of architecture and our feelings around how our spaces are an extension of our creative selves, what meditation and hiking brings to his art practice, and the advice he gives to others trying to find their own voice in the world of art.

We also talk about trying to keep a beginners state of mind, how running helps us to stay motivated in other struggles in our lives and careers, some of the expectations that social media platforms have introduced into the commercial shot list, the discipline of shooting what's in front of you, and what he's looking forward to shooting as he moves forward with his career.
