Photographer/Director Rick Wenner joins the podcast to talk about how he went from growing up in Long Island and working as a graphic designer for his family's bread company, to shooting iconic portraits of some of the most well known actors, artists, and influencers in the world. During our conversation Rick tells me about falling in love with the art of photography during his stint in graphic design and how a presentation by the one and only Platon would solidify his desire to one day shoot impactful portraits. Fast forward to less than a month ago when Rick photographed Platon himself in his iconic studio, and his journey is starting to come full circle. We talk about that shoot, as well as his other ongoing personal projects, how he was able to get Christopher Walken to laugh for a photo and Cynthia Erivo to sing for another, what it was like trying to set up a shoot inside of Sing Sing Correctional Facility, how he learned to trust his creative voice, and the advice he gives to others on their own artistic journey.
