Today on the Creative + Moneywise podcast, how Crystaline Randazzo learned to embrace the business side of photography even as she moves every few years due to her husband’s job.

Crystal is an American storyteller, photographer and filmmaker. She studied commercial photography in graduate school and then managed shoots and photo archiving for an entertainment production company that owned the now-defunct Barnum & Bailey Circus. If someone needed a decades-old picture of a certain clown, she tracked it down. Crystal left that job to launch her freelance career for clients including UNICEF, Save the Children and the European Environmental Bureau.

Full disclosure: Crystal is my very good friend! We met several years ago when we both lived in Rwanda. Since then, we’ve worked on projects together and co-edited the website NGO Storytelling for over five years.
