Conversation #053: Renowned photographer Beowulf Sheehan

Conversation #053: Photographer Beowulf Sheehan
When I spoke with renowned photographer Beowulf Sheehan back in December 2021, the socio-political contexts that have developed over these past few days lingered only in debate and discussion. Now of course things are different. The world is different.
By coincidence only, the timing of this released conversation holds more
weight, more potency, and a deeper metaphorical meaning than I could ever have imagined when I hit record that December afternoon.

Known not only for his beautiful portraits of the upper echelon of literary culture, but also political figures such as current US president Joe Biden, Beowulf has compiled his impressive portfolio into his 2018 book “Author: The Portraits of Beowulf Sheehan” including a foreword written by Salman Rushdie. For which I highly Recommend to image lovers of all sorts.

In conversation #053, we go deep into the construction and importance of visual storytelling, how Beowulf kicked off his impressive journey, and wrap with a personal anecdote of capturing Ukrainian filmmaker, writer, and activist Oleg Sentsov after his release from forced Russian imprisonment in 2019.
Please enjoy this dialogue, as it is my privilege to continue to engage in
free and open discourse about ideas, culture, and contemporary times.

An editorial note: a small segment of this conversation has been edited out
due to sensitive information.
