    In episode three of our ongoing YouTube series, World Class, Vistek video producer Dale Sood Skypes with American Editorial Photographer Lauren Withrow.

    Lauren Withrow is a highly acclaimed American editorial photographer. She’s been featured in Flickr’s 20 under 20, and Photoboite’s 2015 30 women under 30. Her work is cinematic, vulnerable, and memorable. She shares with us how she gets such intimate photographs in what are often completely improvised settings. Her work is both very personal but is also a commercial success.

    Over the course of the hour-long interview, Dale and Lauren discuss a multitude of topics, including how Lauren often improvises her shoots by allowing the emotion of the moment lead her shooting style.
