Photography with Purpose with Travis Patenaude - a podcast by Nicole Begley
from 2021-03-02T01:00
055 - Travis Patenaude's "why" is as clear and powerful as that of any pet photographer I've met.
You might know Travis from his striking studio portraits of Spanish Galgos, a hunting breed with a history of maltreatment. It's possible his award-winning image "Saying Goodbye" wrung some tears from your eyes.
This week, Travis shares not only what motivates his pet photography work, but also how he went from absolute beginner to masterful artist. Don't be fooled by the gruff Chicago accent; there’s a whole lotta love behind the Stink Eye brand! It's an inspiring episode, and I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.
