How'd they get so good so quick?! Photojournalist Robert Stothard

In this deep dive interview, I chat with Robert Stothard, a talented photojournalist whose journey from student photographer to documenting historic global events is nothing short of inspiring. We discuss his incredible early work covering the democratic elections in Cairo during the Arab Spring and his fearless coverage of the Euromaidan uprising in Ukraine, just a month after he graduated from university! Rob’s extraordinary eye for composition and ability to tell powerful stories through his images set him apart, even as a student. With a background in mathematics, his unique approach to framing and structure brings a distinct perspective to his photography that you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re interested in photojournalism, street photography, or the challenges of covering political conflict, this interview dives into the mindset, techniques, and experiences of a photographer who captured history in the making.
