On this episode of How I See, photographer Jason Siegel shares the unexpected path that took him from running a college music blog to photographing artists including GRiZ and Illenium—and eventually to documenting remote cultures and landscapes around the world.
Jason discusses developing his visual style with Leica, balancing music, adventure, and hospitality photography, and building a creative career around curiosity and variety. He also recounts his journey through Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan in search of eagle hunters, the hospitality he encountered along the way, and the unforgettable images that came from the trip.
Later, Jason talks about documenting the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally for the South Dakota Tourism Board, photographing 500,000 motorcycles, and turning a dream project into a personal visual story.
