For the fifteenth episode of my How It’s Done Podcast I sat down with my long time friend and photographer turned wheel designer Chris Sempek. Chris and I met many years ago through Honda-Tech and have stayed closely in touch ever since.
He’s always had a love for cars that at first just involved working on cars and photography but then ultimately turned into designing wheels for a living. We of course spent some time talking about the present but we took a deep dive into the past and how Chris got to where he is today in both his career and personal life. From getting his degree in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) to working for companies such as Fortune Auto and D2Forged Wheels and then ultimately Allied Wheel/Raceline Wheels where he would be a huge part in the launch of Kansei Wheels. We touch on everything such as how Chris got into cars, his education, moving from New York to California, Sempek Wheels, Photography, traveling and much more! Give this a good listen.

For the sixth episode of my podcast, I flew out to Southern California for the weekend of January 13th and during my stay I got the chance to sit down with LA based fashion photographer Marcus Hyde. I met Marcus a few years ago when he was living in Richmond, VA and was putting on East Coast Honda Meet. Four years ago Marcus decided to take a leap of faith and move out to a city he had never been to before; Los Angeles, California.
Since the move his career in photography has sky rocketed. With shooting for artists like Chance the Rapper, Childish Gambino, Snoop Dogg Towkio, and Pusha T and companies like Complex Magazine, Adidas and PLAYBOY, it was only right to talk to Marcus about how he has gotten to where he is today. We talk about him first getting into taking photos and his time in college, traveling the world, his new camera bag in collaboration with Private Label, Yeezys, cars, censorship, his photography workshops, the industry and much more!
It has been very inspirational to see Marcus go from doing his own thing with cars to doing huge things with his art out in LA and all over the world. He has really made a big name for himself by changing the game of photography and its relationship with the media and I am excited to see where his career takes him from here. If you haven’t listened to one of my podcasts before this would be an amazing one to make your first!
