#58 Gordon Szeto- Pandemic Days and Nights

“I like to see myself as a storyteller.  Photography happens to be the way I tell stories.  I see the world in a certain way and try to create visual images to take viewers on a journey.   I gravitate towards emotional, ethereal and dream-like imagery and I use cameras like pinholes and lenses like the Aero Ektar 178mm as tools to create the look and feel I strive for”.   Gordon’s links http://www.gordonszetophotography.com/   https://www.instagram.com/bokchoyboy/       Things we chatted about on the show:   Photographers who have had an influence on Gordon’s work or who he has admired……or maybe random links from Erik.   Gordon has made some wonderful night work, so has another photographer.
