PictureRoom Nº002 - Gardner Mounce
A chat with Memphis, TN photographer
This was my first attempt at hosting a podcast with another photographer while also juggling scene switches in OBS on the fly. Not sure what went sideways with Gardner's audio - podcast pleb mistake, clearly. But hey, trial and error, right? The next round will be better.
That said, I’ve been wanting to interview photographers I admire for a while, so I was stoked to finally sit down with Gardner and explore his work. His creative use of lasers and external flash really caught my eye. It’s not my typical style, but the way he executes it - with such taste and precision - is impressive. I think you’ll find his process just as fascinating as I did.
During our conversation, we covered a lot - music, cameras, and some funny stories. One of my favorites was the time he went to photograph a mobile home with a tree growing through it, only to realize someone was still living there.
We took a deep dive into his portfolio, unpacking the intricate details behind his images. Hearing the story straight from the photographer hits differently than just reading a blurb about the series. Learning why a photo was taken and how it came together feels way more compelling once you understand the person behind the lens.
You can catch the full episode now on my PictureRoom YouTube channel. Like and subscribe if you’re feeling generous - it helps the algo share it with more people. But hey, no pressure.
