In this episode I sit down with Lars Lindemann – curator, advisor, and former Director of Photography at GEO Magazine. We talk about the power of photography to truly move people, the shifting landscape of the industry, and why festivals and gatherings are more important than ever.

Lars opens up about how new ideas and connections spark at portfolio reviews, what it takes for an image or story to touch his heart, and why photography needs not just more creators, but stronger platforms and communities. From his years at GEO to his current role as a freelance curator, Lars shares an honest and inspiring perspective on trust, resilience, and the future of visual storytelling.
