Lensflare (w/David DuChemin): Make Your Work Real

I first interviewed photographer and author David duChemin in 2013 as one of a series of conversations I hosted for Faded & Blurred, a website and photo community that I helped build while I was teaching Photoshop at a photography school in Southern California. What followed over the next decade-plus was something I couldn’t have scripted — a friendship, a creative partnership, and more conversations than either of us can probably count. This podcast is included in the archive as part of that record, with David’s permission.Across 13 episodes, David and I explore photography, photographers, and the creative process. We talk about making more meaningful photographs, developing a personal vision, creating more cohesive bodies of work, editing for narrative, balancing creative life with everyday life, and occasionally even gear. It was a rewarding series to make with a collaborator and friend whose work and perspective I’ve long admired.CONNECT WITH DAVIDWebsite: davidduchemin.comInstagram: @davidducheminCONNECT WITH MEWebsite: jefferysaddoris.comInstagram: @jefferysaddoris
