Sophie Elgort on Portrait Mode, Creativity, and Building a Life Behind the Lens

Sophie Elgort is a photographer, director, and award-winning television host. For nearly two decades, Sophie has photographed some of the world's most recognizable artists, actors, musicians, designers, and leaders. As the creator and host of Portrait Mode with Sophie Elgort, she's built a career around capturing not just how people look, but who they are.In our conversation, we explore what it was like growing up in one of New York City's most creative families, how rejection became an unexpected teacher, and why the most successful careers are often built through curiosity, resilience, and a willingness to keep creating long before anyone is watching.We also discuss the intersection of art and entrepreneurship, the lessons motherhood has taught her about intention and time, and why understanding people is at the heart of every great portrait.Whether you're a creative, entrepreneur, or simply someone trying to build a life that's authentic to you, this conversation is a reminder that success rarely follows a straight line.Watch Portrait Mode hereSophie Elgort's WebsiteFollow Sophie on InstagramLink to purchase:FYLPxTracee Badway Merch CollaborationFYLPxWRDSMTH Merch Collaboration*suggestion is to size upDownload this episode of For Your Listening Pleasure wherever you get your podcasts!
