010: Chris Lopez

Welcome to the Idle Hands Society Podcast - where we hope to discuss and learn more about the effective creative process.

In this episode, Dan and Paul talk with music and film photographer, Chris Lopez.

Chris shares how he’s been keeping busy during the pandemic, talks through his career so far, his travels across the globe in the early 90’s, reveals how he started an eight-year job as the last in-house photographer at a major music label, seeking the inner-soul, constantly experimenting to spark new ideas, you kit becomes what you shoot, having an increasingly minimalist approach to gear.
