I believe in pure intention. And if your intentions are pure, you're going to create something of value that people will connect with. Andrew Zuckerman

The medium that he works in is almost secondary to the fact that he's a thinker and an intellectual first. David Meredith on Andrew Zuckerman

Today’s guest is Andrew Zuckerman, a celebrated filmmaker, photographer, author, podcaster, founder who has worked with the likes of Apple and Puma.

Andrew is best known for creating collections of hyper-real images against stark white backgrounds which he has then turned into well-loved books including Creature which featured endangered species of animals, Bird and Flower which are self-explanatory, and Music which included these same format-images of greats such as Iggy Pop, Lenny Kravitz, Chrissy Hinde, John Legend and many more and it included interviews with them too. There was also his Wisdom book where he spent a year travelling all over the world photographing and interviewing esteemed elders including Nelson Mandela, Clint Eastwood, Dame Judi Dench, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and many more!

As well as the photography and books, Andrew previously co-founded, co-created and co-hosted two podcasts with Spencer Bailey, Time Sensitive and At a Distance which I was a huge fan of.

If that wasn’t enough, Andrew has done creative work with many top name clients including Apple and Puma and is co-founder of Superflower a wallpaper and textile company that creates patterns from photographs of nature. 

I learned so much from this interview with Andrew and I am sure you will too.

Enjoy!
