Show Notes
Have you ever felt stifled by the exactness and predictability of your chosen career? Today's guest spent years studying science, such as molecular biology and organic chemistry, all the while his creative side was calling.. Eventually, he transitioned to photojournalism and found that he was really good at it, and more importantly, it fed his soul.
Andrè Maier of Andrè Maier Photography has a special gift for photographing subjects and events so that they look as natural as they do in person. It's not an easy aesthetic to create, because looking natural is as much about what you don't see, as what you do see. Andrè tells a story with his photography - much the way a journalist would.
