Michael Howard, professional photographer, entrepreneur, and founder of MUSEA, brings over 15 years of experience to his latest venture: the Foto App. With a background in fine art photography and a passion for supporting creative communities, Michael shares the story behind building a platform designed for photographers frustrated with algorithm-driven social media.

In this conversation, Michael explains how Foto emphasizes simplicity, authenticity, and meaningful photographic engagement. From chronological feeds to user portfolios, the app strips away distractions and prioritizes the image itself. He also outlines its ad-free, subscription-based financial model, ensuring photographers remain at the center of the experience rather than being commodified for clicks.

The discussion explores broader topics including the role of AI in photography, the importance of image trustworthiness, and how photographers can adapt to a rapidly changing digital landscape. Michael also offers a glimpse into future developments for Foto, such as collections and a browser version, that promise to further enhance the way photographers share and connect.

This episode is a deep dive into how technology, creativity, and community intersect, offering inspiration for anyone passionate about photography’s evolving role in our culture.

I hope you enjoy the show!
