On Photographing Dr. Fauci
In this week's episode, I sit down with New York City-based celebrity portrait photographer Jesse Dittmar. We discuss the psychology and mindset behind preparation and pre-visualization for high-profile jobs. We also discuss his experiences shooting controversial figures like Dr. Anthony Fauci and Roger Stone.

He humanizes our most renowned figures and photographs those who are not famous in an equalizing manner.
