PALM SPRINGS PHOTO FESTIVAL PODCAST #27: Steve McCurry
In our 27th podcast, 48th conversation we chat with photographer Steve McCurry - world famous author of 27 books and recipient of countless prestigious awards. Steve and host Jeff Dunas talk about what it's like to work in the streets with very little gear and only one translator or driver to rock his immediately identifiable images. He talks about how he started, being smuggled into Afghanistan early in his career, Magnum, how to avoid smiles, his teen years fascinated by cars, drugs and girls and most surprising of all, his big, outsized McCurry-esque plans for his work after he takes his last walk down an exotic street somewhere with his camera. Come hang with us.

PALM SPRINGS PHOTO FESTIVAL PODCAST #26: Howard Schatz
For a serious photographer, listening to Howard Schatz is like reading a good book you can’t put down. He’s truly a one-off, one-of-a-kind, unique and inspiring individual. Listening to him is like a textbook in how to channel your passion into excellence, be productive, find motivation to create important work and get it out into the world. Intensely curious, knowledgeable and gifted to be sure. In this podcast he demystifies how he arrived at his decision to go from highly respected ophthalmologic surgeon in his early fifties to become one of the most widely published & admired fine art and commercial photographers working over the past 30 years. With close to 25 books of photography to his credit and still counting, sometimes as many as two per year, he is a force to be reckoned with. “Photography is a life of Play.”

PALM SPRINGS PHOTO FESTIVAL PODCAST #25: Gregory Heisler
Greg Heisler, one of the top commercial portrait photographers in the United States for over 35 years, has made over 70 covers for Time Magazine. In a very entertaining conversation, Greg talks about working for the one & only Arnold Newman as his second assistant job and how naivety and persistence, plus his one suit and tie got him the job; photographing both Mayor Guiliani (standing on the edge of a sky-scraper) and Mayor Bloomberg, standing in a tree); his keen observations about looking forward (analog) and backward (digital); a famous deli in NYC, his advice for keeping it real and how a framework is essential for editorial portraiture. A must listen.
