Special guest on The Paris Chong Show, Brandon Ralph, drops in to share with us about his work in the photography and marketing spaces. From his Mental Health Awareness project with LifeStance to his own creative endeavors, we touch on what inspires us, as well as our own personal battles with mental health.
Brandon Ralph is a talented photographer who initially pursued fashion and fine art in school but dropped out. He was drawn to photography due to the simplicity of the tool, viewing it as a button that could capture moments and connect with the world. Ralph's work often involves candid shots that make viewers feel like they are part of the scene.
Brandon Ralph is currently working on the second incarnation of the American Experiment project. We get very deep in this episode and welcome everyone to join us!
