We had a great conversation about travel and photography this week with our guest, Peter DeMarco.
Peter is an award-winning travel photographer. His passion for helping people transform their photography shows through in the expert advice he shares. His work has been featured in National Geographic Traveler, CNN, and Digital Photography School amongst others.
Here are some of the topics we covered during the interview:
- Why is Penang, Malaysia, such a great place to live for expats?
- Favorite Asian countries.
- Why is originality overrated?
- What is the Helsinki Bus Station and why it is important for photographers?
- What is the best photography project idea ever?
- Doing the sh*t you love.
- What would the Pete DeMarco of today tell his self of 10 or 20 years ago?
Duration 41m 41s.
