Conflict and Compromise - Ben Lowy and Marvi Lacar

On today's episode of the B&H Photography Podcast, we continue our exploration of photographic collaboration with photojournalists Ben Lowy and Marvi Lacar. In addition to sharing a vocation, they also share two children and a life together.  Photojournalism is a decidedly independent, at times dangerous, career, certainly not one known for a routine home life, but when domestic responsibilities and children enter the picture, how does a couple balance craft and career with the need to earn a living and the time needed to nurture relationships? More so, when both people are working in the same field, how does bolstering one career cross the line into debilitating the other and how does a creative couple find ways to support each other's efforts? Lowy and Lacar bring an animated humor and a willingness to talk about the difficult moments from their lives and careers and explain how they have come to recognize their best personal and professional attributes and bring those strengths into a working relationship that continues to evolve.  -------------------- Gear discussed in this episode: Yongnuo YN686EX-RT Lithium TTL Speedlite for Canon Cameras Sony Alpha a9 Mirrorless Digital Camera Sony Alpha a7R II Mirrorless Digital Camera   -------------------- Guests: Marvi Lacar and Ben Lowy Photograph: Marvi Lacar
