Jonathan Willis on Passion Projects

Jonathan Willis is a globe-traveling photographer. His work has been featured by some of the biggest brands in the world, and he’s dedicated himself to becoming a true master of his craft. However, over the past few years he’s also engaged in a number of “passion projects” as a way to stoke his creative juices and to challenge himself.

Today’s episode features an informal conversation with Willis about these projects, why they matter, and what he’s learned from them. And, how every creative pro can benefit from a passion project.
