Listen here

On this week's episode, Sam and Teresa interview Sydney Holmes over a cup of watermelon juice. Originally from Atlanta, Ga, photographer Sydney Holmes aims to tell visual stories through her work that feel emotive and dignified, whether she uses her camera and creative eye to foreground stories that already exist, or to create space for ones that yet don't. She is a soon to be graduate of Yale University with a major in Art/Photography. Sydney is incredibly adept at carefully executing any artistic vision, whether as creative director, or as a collaborator, and has a wide variety of experience photographing for large institutions like Yale and the International African American Museum, celebrities such as Jidena and Playboi Carti, and a host of smaller organizations. Sydney talks to Teresa and Sam about stories she hopes to tell through photography, photography as an academic discipline, and her inspirations.
