In this video, I sit down to talk with Fernando Marmolejo about photography. Specifically his journey to becoming a wold travelling photographer, how Instagram has shifted the concept of real photography, and how someone can start getting clients.

This is a conversation that transformed the way I look at photography and I believe that it's a video you won't want to skip!

I would love to know your thoughts about this controversial subjects in the comments!
