Damien Bredberg On Multifaceted Photography

Damien is a multi-disciplinary photographer that has a very unique and highly conceptual way of looking through a lens. His work is theatrical, dynamic and almost surreal. Damien is renowned for his unique approach to the extraction of stories, character and emotion. We uncover some super fascinating aspects of Damien's process like how much storytelling and drawing from his own personal emotional experiences play a role in the success and impact of his photographs. During the episode we dive into the nitty gritty of the crew, production and compositing side of his work as well some of the more personal and relational side of doing business in a creative field. We talk about some of the things Damien has learned in his career including how valuable saying no can be and lessons on pricing, respecting yourself and valuing what you do. We zoom in and get into the specific details and ingredients that make up a powerful image, including some things you might expect like lighting and some things you might not expect.

I'm not photographing all day every day."   "We've forgotten how important business is."   "Story is the most powerful, hidden, subconscious thing you can add to a photograph."   "Start where you want to end up."   "You're brand is who you are when you are off-line."   -   Original Theme Music by Devin Luke - devinlukemusic.com   Stay In Touch onprocess.com @onprocesspodcast   If this episode helped you in any way, we would love your support.
