Episode #236: Emily Maye / Photographer / Director
Photographer/Director Emily Maye joins the podcast to talk about how her dream of becoming a professional ballet dancer not only gave her the discipline it takes to create an amazing career in photography and filmmaking, but a distinct eye for capturing the art of movement and a deep understanding of the sacrifice that athletes make in pursuit of their sport, which makes her visual storytelling stand out as authentic and beautiful. During our conversation we talk about several of Emily's new film projects, what's it like to have a 10+ year relationship with a client like Tracksmith and the creative freedom it gives her in the commercial sports space, what it was like to work on one of her dream projects with Nike showcasing the "Mamba Mentality", her early days of traveling with Trek capturing races like the Tour De France, the logistics behind a 17 minute opening shot in her recent running film "The Church of The Long Run", and the advice she gives to others chasing their own passions.
