Process The Podcast
Renowned Australian photographer Georges Antoni on what Australian brands need more of, his family first mindset, and a very insightful look into his client relationships.
One of the most in-demand Australian photographers Georges Antoni joins me in this episode. We unpack more than I could have ever asked. He takes us back to his unconventional career journey to where he is today and the way he assembles his teams. We dived into his really important perspectives into commercial and artistic brand stories and how down under, we approach things a lot differently to the international brands, mostly due to our upbringing and the Australian way. It’s a way of thinking about things that I haven't really intellectualised before, but I’m really excited and privileged that George did so with me.
