#486 To SEE and be SEEN
Manage episode 487133086 series 2385321
Today, I’m joined by world-renowned portrait photographer Platon. Known for capturing some of the most iconic faces in modern history, from world leaders to cultural figures,
Platon shares an insight into the emotional depth of portraiture, human connection, and the responsibility that comes with photographing power.
We explore how photography can give voice to the unheard, why vulnerability matters more than perfection, and what it really means to see someone.
From the mailbag, Mark Christensen shares the story of how his flash may have saved his life, Phil Ferris is looking behind the sofa for his mojo, Jade Lee’s filming snakes at her feet, and Allin Sorenson brings a poem to the path that ties beautifully to my chat with Platon. Plus we have a new assignment from portrait photographer and writer, Paul Hutson.
Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to Arthelper, who sponsor this show, plus our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week.
WHY: A Sketchbook of Life is available here.
