episode 14: @AlenPalander | Pursuing Art Instead of Fame with Alen Palander
On this episode of The Darkroom Podcast we got the chance to speak with Alen Palander. After moving from Iraq as a boy, Alen lived in Canada where he started shooting as a form of passive income while in University. As a photographer and creative director, Alen has traveled the world building his personal portfolio and doing work for some of the most iconic brands like Mercedes. We talk through Alen’s perspective on photography in today’s mobile and ever changing world and how artists should be weary of trying to replicate a lifestyle they see online.
