Jason Lee - Documenting The Landscape
Listen now
Description
This week on the show we’re talking with Jason Lee! I’m sure almost all of you are familiar with Jason and his work not only as a photographer but also as an actor and a professional skateboarder. Jason is known for his role in the hit TV show, ‘My Name Is Earl’, as well as a handful of Kevin Smith films. He’s also the co-founder of Stereo Skateboards. I first discovered Jason’s photography roughly three years ago when I got back into film. I was immediately attracted to his images and his love for the road. His series ‘A Plain View’, released in 2017, documents rural Texas and to this day is still one of my favourite photo books. I love Jason’s commitment to his craft and also the creative approach that he employs. A big stand out for me with ‘A Plain View’ was his decision to shoot the entire project on an old Crown Graphic 4x5 camera with the original lens and expired film—highlighting the fact that creative decisions extend beyond the just image itself. In this episode, we talk about his discovery of photography, how his vision developed, road-tripping and working on projects, as well as the creative decisions made throughout. Definitely make sure to check out Jason’s work on his website (listed below). At the moment, I believe he’s taking a break from IG, but the photo community he created called ‘Film Photographic’ is still very active, so make sure you go give that a follow as well. Enjoy! ————————- Jason’s Website: www.jasonleefilm.comFilm Photographic: www.instagram.com/filmphotographic

Hey everyone, for today's solo episode, I want to focus on something that was inspired by a recent Q&A that I did on my Instagram—and that is talking about extremes. One of the most common answers, when I asked people what their biggest challenge is with their photography, was that they...
