Today's episode features guest Chris Hau (@thechrishau), photographer, Youtuber and automotive enthusiast. In this episode, Chris tells us his story of how he began shooting for Mercedes-Benz. It's essentially a case study filled with many useful concepts for listeners. He describes when providing photography for "free" or basically nothing makes sense when there's a long term play in mind. Chris gets into what it's like being married to another successful creator. More so, both the challenges and pluses involved in their unique relationship. We get the scoop on Chris's 2 year in the making project "Unblock" (see below), a deck of physical cards made up of prompts and affirmations designed to help spark your creativity as a photographer. Lastly, we ask Chris about his take on algorithmic changes at Instagram and how to best adapt to the new world of reels.
