Welcome to episode 215 of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen!
 
This week's guest is Camille Seaman.
 
Camille was born in 1969 to a Native American father and African American mother. Her photographs have been published in National Geographic Magazine and countless other publications. Her photographs have received many awards including: a National Geographic Award, 2006; and the Critical Mass Top Monograph Award, 2007. She is a TED Senior Fellow as well as a Stanford Knight Fellow. I was so fortunate to be able to get Camille onto the podcast to have a rich conversation.
 
Camille and I cover a wide range of topics this week, including:


  • How her unique upbringing as a Native American and African American influenced her photographic perspective.


  • What challenges and or benefits has her race and gender played in her photographic career.


  • How she became a photographer of the polar regions of planet earth.


  • What aspiring photographers should do to make stronger work.


  • Why the language we use that relates to photography is important.


  • How the industry can change the status-quo of white male dominance.


  • And lots more.
