Life, Love, and Photography with Henry Tieu

This episode is in collaboration with WWU student Shannon Register.I recently had the privilege of interviewing renowned photographer and educator Henry Tieu as part of my field research for Western Washington University’s Entrepreneurship & Innovation program. We explored his journey from creative to entrepreneur, and the ways he’s built a business rooted in authenticity, connection, and sustainable passion. Our conversation covered everything from career pivots and personal mindset to client trust, energy management, and defining success on your own terms. As an aspiring photographer myself, this was deeply affirming and motivating. Thank you, Henry, for your honesty, insight, and encouragement!
