We chatted about skinny posing, the importance of lighting, and the ineffability of photography as an art. Jenny and David get technical about file formats and we have a philosophical conversation about whether cameras enhance or distract from our experience of the moment. Shout-outs to past guests Bentley Potter and our favorite baker Anrika Martin.
