Finding Authentic Style with Sean Tucker
In this episode, I sit down with a photographer and filmmaker Sean Tucker, who is particularly known for his incredibly beautiful and sincere educational YouTube videos, watched by hundreds of thousands of people every day. Sean calls himself a visual storyteller and that naturally drove my attention to his work, ideas, and points of view on photography in general. We discuss things like being authentic in your art, finding your style, and searching for the stories you want to tell with your work! Enjoy!
