Listen now
Description
Celebrity portrait photographer Jesse Dittmar joins the podcast from his New York studio to talk about his beautiful new coffee table book "Overexposed" (link in the show notes below), and how he went from a kid obsessing over photo books in Barnes and Noble, to assisting some of the most famous photographers in the world, to creating his own sought after aesthetic, and having the opportunity to focus his camera on some very recognizable faces.  During our conversation Jesse talks about what it was like growing up in the shadows of New York City as the son of a music agent that gave him a peak behind the curtain of celebrity, his early passion for music that would propel him towards a dream of one day becoming a musician himself, when he fell in love with photography, how he ended up assisting photographers like Annie Leibovitz and Martin Schoeller, and the gamble he took on himself to venture out on his own and find his voice in one of the most competitive niches that exists in photography today.  We also talk about what goes into creating a book like "Overexposed", how he's remained so in love with the process of photography, what he thinks the trick to longevity is, and the advice he gives to others chasing their own creative dreams.   To Learn More About Jesse Dittmar Visit: https://jessedittmar.com/ And Follow Him On Instagram At: https://www.instagram.com/jessedittmar/ To Buy His New Book "Overexposed" Visit: https://overexposedthebook.com/ To Learn More About Visual Revolutionary Visit: https://www.visualrevolutionary.com/ And Follow On Instagram At: https://www.instagram.com/visualrevolutionary/
