Chris reflects on moving from photography into documentary filmmaking, the lessons he learned from early projects, and why connecting with a subject matters more than the gear.\nThey also discuss photographing New York’s basketball and breakdancing scenes, using motion blur to capture energy, and why Chris believes every photograph is a kind of self-portrait. Chris shares the story of Ismael Ox, a taekwondo athlete with a goal of winning Olympic gold for the United States in 2028, and offers a thoughtful perspective on creative burnout, purpose, and embracing what makes you different.\nChris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whoschrischu\nChris' Website: https://www.chrischuphoto.com/\nChris' YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@whoschrischu","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/v92kR3FzCsM2iOvF4MZcwgzFhHiir76zDq_QY8OKquU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zZDM5/YWZkMThmYmNiOWQz/NWYxNjQzZTEzM2Ri/OWE0Ny5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
