    Episode 66 - Mark Mann - Portrait Photographer
    Jul 1 2026
    Join show host Mitch Stringer as he welcomes renowned portrait photographer Mark Mann to the podcast.

    Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Mark decided that New York City was the place to make his career goals happen. He surely has reached those lofty goals over 30+ years creating compelling images of a "who's who" in the world of business and celebrity. Images of Robert Redford, Dave Chapelle, Kobe Bryant, Al Pacino, Slash, and multiple US Presidents barely scratches the surface of those he's photographed.

    Mark's signature style is distinct and really showcases his subjects in a way that is one of a kind. We had a great conversation about his early years, stories from the field, techniques and so much more. Mark is an amazing photographer with a wonderful sense of humor and a terrific guy in general.

    Jun 15 2026
    Join show host Mitch Stringer as he welcomes third generation photographer and visual storyteller Vincent Caruso to the show. Having known Vincent for a few years now I’ve always been impressed by his keen photographic eye and perspectives on the craft. We spoke about his upbringing around photography shaped by his father, legendary movie and television still photographer, Phil Caruso. Vincent has effectively carved out his own niche in street photography and creating music videos. A fun conversation for sure. You can check out his work on Instagram @Vincentkcaruso
