Episode #218: Victoria Will / Photographer / Director

Celebrity portrait, editorial, commercial, and fashion photographer/director Victoria Will joins the podcast to talk about how she went from growing up in DC with an obsession for field hockey and a desire to pursue an athletic career, to studying at Princeton and falling in love with photography, to working at the New York Post, to finally heading out on her own and slowly creating the body of work she is known for today, with recognizable images of everyone from Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio, to working with fashion designers like Tom Ford, to shooting and directing ad campaigns for some of the biggest companies in the world.  During our conversation we talk about the struggle to find balance between work and her growing family of 3 young boys and her husband who is also a photographer, and how managing that balance has taught her to truly be present and to appreciate the beauty of her career and how she can split her love between family and art and find meaning and inspiration from both.  We also talk about how she has managed to drift between so many different genres of shooting and how that has helped her to constantly push her creative limits and to fight off burnout by always being able to draw inspiration from other forms of shooting and work.  Lastly, we talk about how our definitions of "success" have changed over the years, where she continues to draw the most creative inspiration, and the advice she gives to others trying to find their own creative path.
