EP 065 of the Outspoken Artist Podcast features a powerhouse conversation with Sal Cincotta—entrepreneur, photographer, and founder of ShutterFest. Recorded on-location at ShutterFest 2025, this episode digs into the grit and guts it takes to build a truly original creative event.

We explore the origin story of ShutterFest, its iconic “Rent-a-Human” model program, and why a late-night, hands-on culture still matters. Sal opens up about his mother’s sacrifices, the discipline of military school, and what authenticity means in a brand-driven world. Plus, unexpected moments—like chocolate, cooking, and stories that go way beyond photography.
