Josie Lepe began as a lab tech at the San Jose Mercury News and went on to capture some of the iconic moments in San Francisco Bay Area Sports as a Sports Photographer. She discusses her journey into photojournalism, the challenges she faced as a woman in sports photojournalism, how her culture and background influenced how she approached her work and why she chose to pursue a Master’s in Fine Art photography after a twenty plus year career in photojournalism.
