Jeremy Cowart on Curiosity, Creativity, and the Future of Photography
This is one of those episodes you may need to listen to twice.
In this conversation, Miles Witt Boyer and Jared Mark Fincher sit down with photographer, artist, and creative entrepreneur Jeremy Cowart. Jeremy is the founder of the Help Portrait movement, which has provided free portraits to hundreds of thousands of people around the world, and he has spent years pushing the boundaries of what photography can look like through experimentation, technology, and empathy.
But this episode is bigger than photography.
It is about curiosity.It is about courage.
It is about what happens when an artist refuses to stop learning.
Jeremy shares how he moves between photography, fine art, AI, augmented reality, humanitarian storytelling, and wildly experimental creative processes without losing his sense of purpose. He talks about why experimentation matters, why so many creatives stop learning too early, and how staying curious has opened unexpected doors in both commercial and personal work.
We also talk about his latest project, If You’re Breathing, a powerful concept built around using art and storytelling to help people in extreme financial need. It is one of the most honest and inspiring conversations we have had on the podcast.
If you are a photographer, artist, or creative entrepreneur trying to stay inspired in a changing industry, this episode will challenge the way you think about your work.
And in the Aftercast, Jeremy breaks down the process he uses to filter, test, and pursue new ideas.
