For a serious photographer, listening to Howard Schatz is like reading a good book you can't put down. He's truly a one-off, one-of-a-kind, unique and inspiring individual. Listening to him is like a textbook in how to channel your passion into excellence, be productive, find motivation to create important work and get it out into the world. Intensely curious, knowledgeable and gifted to be sure. In this podcast he demystifies how he arrived at his decision to go from highly respected ophthalmologic surgeon in his early fifties to become one of the most widely published & admired fine art and commercial photographers working over the past 30 years. With close to 25 books of photography to his credit and still counting, sometimes as many as two per year, he is a force to be reckoned with. "Photography is a life of Play."
Greg Heisler, one of the top commercial portrait photographers in the United States for over 35 years, has made over 70 covers for Time Magazine.
