About this episode
I’m pleased to share my recent chat with Daniel Sakheim. Dan is a television director and producer known for his work on shows like “True Detective,” “The Americans,” and “Better Call Saul” and he is also a very talented street photographer. I’ve been trying to get Dan on the podcast for a while, and I’m glad it finally worked out. We had a great conversation about his journey into photography, how his directing work influences his photographic vision, and his project, “City Unseen.”
Key Takeaways
Dan talked about how LA isn’t really recognized as a street photography hot spot like New York or London. But there’s a vibrant community there, especially within Julia Dean’s collective, which Dan co-directs. It’s inspiring to see artists driven by passion, documenting their city without much financial incentive. He mentioned LA is like a collection of cities, each with its own distinct vibe, offering endless opportunities for unique street shots.
