Description

My guest on the podcast this week is a dynamic storyteller and beautiful soul, lauded portrait and editorial photographer Cheriss May. In our wide-ranging conversation, Cheriss and I speak about her transition from graphic design to photography as a profession, the role of her midwestern upbringing to her ethos as an artist, her experiences as a black female photo-journalist, her harrowing experience inside the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, and shooting iconic portraits of African American life.
