Senior Style Guide’s Real Talk series brings you face-to-face with other photographers and creatives who are going through exactly the same things you are. It’s about going beyond the technical parts of photography and diving deep into what struggles have they faced, how they got to be where they are today and what they learned along the way. Hosted by Sean Brown, join us as we sit down and have conversations with photographers whose stories you’ll want to hear.
