"Whether it's through an Instagram post or documentary film, the heart of the mission is constant: our job is to tell a story. I'm eager to see what other avenues open up to tell those stories."
"At the end of the day, we're probably not changing the world with most of the images we're making. Instead, I think the main opportunity to contribute to the greater good is through the relational aspect of what we do as artists. We meet and interact with people form all over the world, all the time. The ability to go beyond the creation of images and to develop a camaraderie with people ... is important. Those relationships will likely last longer than the typical lifespan of an image."
"I know the next decade will bring some wild changes—both personally and industry-wide—as the vehicles with which we consume content keep changing. That directly informs what I do for a living, and my hope is not just to keep up, but to really engage with new channels, mediums, and people."
"More than ever I see still and moving images becoming one and the same. Having experience and vision in both mediums will be crucial for most people over the coming years."
"People say, 'I just want to see the facts.' And I say, 'well, I'll send an email.' If you're going to tell a story in visual terms, it should be exciting. And I don't think anybody should have to apologize for that."
"A good story is a good story. If what I'm writing reaches you, then it reaches you no matter what title is stuck on it."
