Description: #327 Gerard Exupery is a New York street photographer that has been shooting since the mid 1970’s. In that time Gerard has captured a number of compelling and dynamic images of life in New York. After publishing his first book '“Subway”, Gerard is back again with his new book “Women Hold Up Half The Sky”. In this interview we talk about the process of finding a story, selecting images, imposter syndrome, and of course the power of print. Gerard recounts how his mother reacted to him wallpapering his room with photography magazines and how physical prints offers something that digital photos can't. He sees creating a book as a way to preserve his work for future generations.The Big Ideas:Preserve your work with a bookPhotography is personal explorationLife experience shapes creativityDocument life through photographyGrow through past relationshipsFollow your creative passionOrganize photos efficientlyShoot now, improve laterTime Stamps00:06:08 Preserve your work in a book.00:06:37 Photography is a personal journey.00:13:09 Life experience shapes art.00:19:37 Document life through photography.00:27:01 Grow through self-reflection.00:37:54 Organize for success.00:38:17 Organize, catalogue, and share.00:46:37 Shoot more, get better.Resources:Gerard Exupery’s websiteFollow Gerard on InstagramJoin The Beginner Photography Podcast Facebook CommunitySign up for your free CloudSpot account to deliver beautiful images galleries todayFree Lightroom Presets!Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.com Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond! Go from Confused to Confident behind the camera with The Ultimate Photography Education Bundle - https://beginnerphotopod.com/bundleJoin the free Beginner Photography Podcast Community at https://beginnerphotopod.com/groupGrab your free camera setting cheatsheet - https://perfectcamerasettings.com/Thanks for listening & keep shooting!
