A&T Talks — Practical advice and insight for your creative journey.

:: BREAKDOWN
In this A&T Talks episode, award-winning photographer & artist Warwick Saint, world-renowned for his masterfully lit iconic portraits, joins us to share the pivotal moments of his career as editorial photographer and painter. He speaks about the importance of preparing for photographic opportunities, developing personal work, and having the courage to reinvent yourself as an artist.

In his work, Saint has uniquely captured the celebrities and visionaries of our time, working with icons such as Oprah, Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett, Beyonce, LeBron James, Lady Gaga, and more.

After first breaking into fashion with his legendary 'Elephant Boy' series based on his South African roots, Saint proceeded to lead worldwide photographic campaigns for the Olympic Games, BMW, Nike and World Cup Soccer. He has also collaborated with musicians and performers, creating some of the most iconic album covers of the last 20 years.

Today, Saint's work has moved beyond traditional photography and transitioned into the fine art world, using his celebrity portraits as the canvas for experimenting with acrylics, otherwise known as "Lumadynamic Decomposition."
