This week, we are excited to explore the profound insights of renowned photographer Lyle Owerko, who takes us on a journey through the theme of "Retrograde Motion: Process and Practice in the Creative Journey." In a captivating conversation with FYI Chief Growth Officer Julie Pilat, Lyle discusses the art of observation in photography, emphasizing the importance of listening, intuition, and curiosity in capturing moments that resonate deeply.
Lyle shares personal anecdotes from his experiences, including his time working with the UN in Africa and his perspective on capturing the tragic events of September 11th. He reflects on how sound often guides his photographic instincts, revealing a unique approach to storytelling through images. With a focus on the humanity behind his subjects, Lyle illustrates how playfulness and connection shape his creative process, even in the most serious contexts.
