Think you can only sustain a creative career by compromise? Ivan Weiss doesn't agree. He's built his photography business by relentlessly following his own vision.
We talk about how two days with the right mentor helped crystallise his decision to take the leap and leave his corporate career, loving the tech and the gadgetry but focusing on feelings, and how as soon as you ask the question, "am I ready to do this full-time," you're ready.
Born with a camera pointed at him, Ivan grew up surrounded by photography. His interest in portraiture was influenced by 12 years living in Florence. By 2011 he began transitioning out of a corporate career in media into photography. He creates images that reflect a fascination with classical composition, a delight in the technical possibilities afforded by modern equipment and techniques, and a sensitivity for human emotion.
