64 – From Doctor to World Renowned Photographer

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE!!! Let Drs. Nii & Renee know what you think about the show!

How are you all handling this August heat?!?

Everyone who wants to reach out, make sure you show some love to the “Ask me a Question” button on the right of the website. I thinks its more personal and efficient to ask a question or just leave some feedback!

Today’s episode is 2 years in the making. On this episode, I’m chopping it up with Dr. Zun Lee who is a world-renowned photographer and self-described visual story teller. We chatted about his transition from the clinical physician world, to corporate healthcare management, to now as full-time photographer.

He’s a heavy hitter. His work has been featured in Forbes, The New York Times, Huffington Post,  and Wall Street Journal. In 2014 he put out a groundbreaking book called Father Figure: Exploring Alternate Notions of Black Fatherhood, and it has won several international awards.

On a side note, I recorded this with Dr. Zun Lee almost 2 years ago. This interview goes through so many different layers and I wasn’t sure how it would’ve been received when the show first started. I think that was a mistake for not being confident how you the audience would receive a podcast episode that talks about these issues. I apologize to Dr. Lee and to you – the amazing audience.

 

Things you’ll learn in this episode:

• Difference of patient care in United States vs Germany (where he trained)
• How he handled going from being a “scrub” to a “suit”
• How he found his love for photography after being forced to by a co-worker
• Why vulnerability helps him relate to his subjects in photography
• What his photos say about him
• How he answers #imnotjustadoc
