Photographer. Bike Mechanic. Real Estate Agent. Scuba Instructor? Aaron Anderson has lived ten lives not stumbling into photography until he had chased a few other rabbits in his life. The one thing that hit me the hardest in this episode though was his intentionality. Over the last three years Aaron and his wife Joy have sold almost everything they owned, including their home and moved into an RV with their 3 kids to simply invest in time and experiences together as a family. Initially I asked Aaron to be on the show because of his keen sense of light and his remarkably creative eye but what come to the surface in this chat with him was how important the elements of his life that inform that creativity are to him. Aaron is a commercial freelance photographer currently living in an RV park outside of the Dallas, Texas area - but that's just been for the last few weeks or so. Before that it was in LA, and who knows before that. His family's deep desire to pursue experiences together and share in those experiences has clearly permeated into his work.

As a commercial shooter Aaron's photography is at the top of the industry. With a refined eye for retouching and finished product and a rolodex of big name clients and olympic athletes along side a formal sponsorship by Fujifilm this this an artist who has earned a little bit of ego and yet you'll hear in this episode he has absolutely none. Quick to defer success to the teams of people around him. Quick to see his role on set as a person who has the opportunity to show respect and love and appreciation to everybody else who is helping him do his job well. Quick to get home in time to tuck his kids in bed. Aaron jumped in this one interview from one of my personal favorite photographers to a man, a dad, and a husband I really look up to.
