050 - A Life Devoted to Photography - Torin Halsey Interview

In this episode I sit down with Mr. Torin Halsey. A man who has devoted the past 35+ years of his life to photography. Torin is currently the Chief Photographer at the Wichita Falls Times Record News, a regional newspaper in North Texas. In addition "day job" with the newspaper, he also has grown a strong side business, where he shoots as well.

A few years ago, when I started getting serious about photography and was running into some big roadblocks, it was Torin who I reached out to and asked for help. He's a great man with a strong portfolio that spans decades.

Key takeaways:

Before photography, Torin was a butcher.

Failure is natural, and it happens to us all.

Most photojournalists have two cameras on assignment - one with a medium / wide lens and one with a telephoto lens.

Photojournalism is powerful - you're able to capture such a wide spectrum of subject matter - from concerts to fashion to car wrecks to architecture to NFL / MLB games and much more.

Passion projects are essential, and can be the saving grace to prevent burnout and ensure a long career.

Come along with me...
