Inside Street Photography
by Joe DiMeo
Behind every capture, there is an often-untold story. The world of street photography is one of the most challenging yet rewarding forms of photographic expression. While we focus on getting the shot, what interests me the most is what goes on inside our heads before and after the shutter is released. This is a new podcast, and it will develop and evolve in time, I am hopeful that the topics, ideas, and interviews that are covered will be of interest to you. If you have any suggestions, please reach out to me at [email protected] or leave a voice message via Spotify!
