On this week\u2019s episode of the B&H Photography Podcast, we welcome editorial, fashion, art, and music photographer Olivia Bee. That\u2019s a lot of tags and she\u2019s earned them all in a relatively short time span. Her \u201corigin story\u201d is well-documented in photo circles, so we won\u2019t go into that much, but in a career now a decade old, we discuss where those early successes have brought her, what she enjoys about photography, and what she is working on now.\xa0 \xa0

With clients that include Hermes, Nike, L\u2019Oreal, Sony, and editorial assignments from Vice, Elle, the New York Times, and Complex Magazine, Bee has created a comprehensive body of commercial work while continuing to evolve the personal aesthetic that got her noticed in the first place.\xa0 She is also now directing music and other videos and beginning a narrative film effort.

We speak with Bee from her bucolic Oregon acreage and discuss a wide range of topics, from the evolution of her gear, including her current use of 8x10\u201d view cameras, to her self-portraiture techniques, to publishing her first book, Kids in Love, with Aperture. We also spend some time discussing her work with musicians, the different approaches to an editorial assignment with a musician, and working on album art or a portrait. Finally, Bee lets us in on her dream assignment and Allan promises to make that dream come true. Join us for this pleasant and informative conversation.
