In this episode, Matt Jacob talks about his artistic mission to capture different peoples and cultures across the world, how an illness in his youth focused his mind on life’s fragility, his journey towards becoming a professional photographer, some of the stories behind his series taken in often remote parts of the world, the technical equipment he uses to photograph his subjects, and about his MOOD Podcast in which he invites fellow photographers to ruminate on their profession.
