Episode #178: Mark Elzey / Photographer

Visual Revolutionary

Fashion and portrait photographer Mark Elzey joins the podcast to talk about how a kid from Bogalusa, Louisiana with an early love of art and music ended up in New York shooting for some of the most respected publications in the world. During our conversation Mark talks about falling in love with photography the moment he held a friend's camera in high school, making the move to San Fransisco at an early age to study photography and how that shaped the way he would pursue his career, how he was able to overcome his shyness and approach strangers on the street to take their portrait, and the way he set about creating a name for himself at New York Fashion Week. We also talk about where he draws the most creative inspiration from, the challenges that people of color can sometimes face in the photography and fashion industry, and the advice he gives to others coming up.
