One from the archives this week featuring my conversation with Legendary music photographer and Grammy nominated director . We talk about how he went from a kid growing up in a blue collar family in Toms River, NJ to falling in love with photography and music at an early age, to pursuing an education at the New England School of photography, to working with and assisting Annie Leibovitz, Steven Meisel, Mary Ellen Mark, Timothy White, and others, to finding his own voice as an artist and building an incredible career as one of most sought after photographers in the music business. During our conversation Danny also talks about his early days with Spin Magazine, shooting the record cover for Nas’s “Illmatic”, being on tour with Blind Melon, booking shoots for Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen on the same day, building long lasting relationships and friendships with some of the most well known musicians in the world that has given him a level of access all music fans dream about, and so much more. It’s a beautiful conversation on a life well lived.

Commercial photographer/director returns to the podcast to catch up on how life and business have changed since we last talked during Covid, how the industry is bouncing back and the changes that have come with it, how he approached some of his personal projects like “Dirt Football” that was recently published, how he manages to keep such a youthful vibe to his work as he gets older, what it’s like working with high school athletes for a commercial campaign, how having a son changed him as a photographer and a person, his feelings towards new gear and film photography, and how going through his old snowboard archive in preperation for a book has made him reflect on his own evolution as an artist. We also discuss his newest offering as a mentor and consultant, working closely with other photographers and directors in order to try and help them realize their own goals.

Scott Ballew ( ) joins the podcast to talk about his inspiring creative evolution. From his early days on the football fields of Texas that would ultimately lead to a Rose Bowl appearance, to working his way up from PA to Executive Producer on the commercial and film sets of LA, to returning to Austin to help create beautiful films for Yeti in his role as head of content, to directing his own documentaries and short films, to recording multiple albums and joining the amazing roster at La Honda records, and how all the life experience in between continues to help feed his desire to never stop creating. During our conversation we talk about his battle with drug and alcohol addiction and how sobriety and an amazing mentor in legendary musician Terry Allen would convince him to start putting his stories to music and, at the age of 37, become such a prolific songwriter that 3 albums would follow over the next 3 years on top of the whirlwind schedule of filmmaking that continues to this day. We also discuss our shared experience of trying to fill the spiritual void after getting clean from opiates, the daily practice of creation he learned from Terry and how he goes about trying to connect with “The Muse”, what he’s learned from years of pointing the camera at so many inspiring characters, and the advice he gives to others on their own creative journey.

Photographer has had the opportunity to point his camera at some of the most recognizable faces in the world, creating iconic portraits while working for editorial clients like The New York Times and Rolling Stone, as well as commercial work for companies ranging from Apple to Nike. But during our conversation we dive into the very personal world of his newest book “Bitter Sweet” and have an honest exploration of some of the ups and downs of Christaan’s career and how that culiminated into a deep dive into his own psyche that led to the realization that what others might deem as an “ugly photo” could have something more to say if given the chance. Throughout Christaan’s career he has self pulbished many personal projects, but we talk about the unique aspects of this one and how it came to be, what we can learn from taking time out to appreciate the mundane and even the uncomfortable, how we need make sure we continue to make work for ourselves later into our career, and the advice he gives to others chasing their own creative dreams.
