Photographer Christopher Morris says you need a love of the craft to make real money in photography. On episode 47 of Photography is Nothing, @Courtney & I talk with Christopher Morris, a documentary photographer who has covered war, politics, and fashion since 1981. Morris also discusses topics like being mistaken for a CIA agent, living with the consequences of witnessing atrocities firsthand, working to make sure his vast archive lives on, and more. Christopher Morris got his start with the Black Star agency covering conflicts in the Philippines, Panama, the Persian Gulf War, Yugoslavia, Chechnya, Yemen, Iraq, and more. Largely leaving war photography behind in the early 2000s, Morris covered the Bush and Obama administrations for Time Magazine. He left Black Star in 2001 and was one of the founding members of VII Photo Agency. In recent years, Morris has photographed for fashion magazines & brands, worked as the personal photographer for Princess Charlene of Monaco, and continued to take breaking news & editorial assignments around the world. #photography #documentaryphotography #photojournalism #photographyisnothing #photographypodcast
