Episode Details

I sat down with commercial product photographer, Jason Langheine, to talk about the journey from high school darkrooms to freelance studio work, the state of creative industries in an age of algorithms and AI, and why the best photograph of Miles Davis is not of his face.

Jason runs two separate photography brands: jasonlangheine.com for portrait and branding work, and Semaphore Labs for commercial product photography.
