Just a Good Conversation: David McLain

As a photographer and filmmaker, David McLain specialize in exploring big questions across a range of subjects by telling intimate stories about real people. He has shot seven feature stories for National Geographic Magazine, photographed the NYT best-selling cookbook Blue Zones Kitchen, shot for major brands like Sony and Apple, and was Director of Photography for the feature documentary Bounce, which premiered at SXSW. His primary tools are curiosity, an ability to listen, and deep empathy for people who inhabit different realities than his. Attentiveness to others, to his craft, and to his clients are at the core of everything he does.
