THE PORTRAIT SYSTEM PODCAST - With host Nikki Closser ()

My guest this week on the Portrait System podcast is David Lehr () and I can’t tell you what an honor it was to chat with him. David is a photographer and videographer for a famous musician and he goes on tour creating the most amazing videos and stills from the concerts. It was so interesting to hear about what it’s like not only to live the tour lifestyle, but to be shooting fast moving subjects candidly with so many elements to deal with and with light that is constantly changing and is often very low light.

David talks about the technical side of things, but he also covers how to break into the music scene or performing arts as a photographer AND about finding joy in what you do and how that can help you in your career and what he shares is pure gold.

David taught so much during this episode and I’m so happy I get to introduce him to you.

Enjoy the conversation!
Nikki
