Jason Siegel: From Music Photography to Eagle Hunters
On this episode of How I See, photographer Jason Siegel shares the unexpected path that took him from running a college music blog to photographing artists including GRiZ and Illenium—and eventually to documenting remote cultures and landscapes around the world.
Jason discusses developing his visual style with Leica, balancing music, adventure, and hospitality photography, and building a creative career around curiosity and variety. He also recounts his journey through Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan in search of eagle hunters, the hospitality he encountered along the way, and the unforgettable images that came from the trip.
Later, Jason talks about documenting the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally for the South Dakota Tourism Board, photographing 500,000 motorcycles, and turning a dream project into a personal visual story.

Emily Garthwaite on Consent, Conflict and the Stories We Don’t See
How does a photographer earn trust in places shaped by conflict, faith and history?
In this episode of How I See: The Leica Podcast, Louise Goldstone speaks with photographer Emily Garthwaite about curiosity, walking and the human connections behind her work.
Emily recounts how she first began photographing people as a teenager, her journey to Iraq during the Arbaeen pilgrimage, and the thousands of kilometres she walked through the Zagros Mountains. She discusses working with Yazidi communities, documenting faith and memory, and travelling with Sister Macrina through the landscapes of Sinjar.
The conversation also explores ethical photography, informed consent, women’s access to private spaces, and why some of the most important photographs are the ones you choose not to take. Emily shares her Leica approach—one camera, one lens—and explains why restriction, patience and returning to the same communities are central to her practice.
She also reflects on rejection, teamwork, photojournalism and her move into long-form documentary filmmaking.
