Episode 43 – Messay Shoakena




Staying In Focus Photography Podcast show

Summary: Trying to cure my election hangover, I sit down with freelance, editorial, and political photographer Messay Shoakena. I discover how he got picked up by the Washington Post, the Huffington Post, and posts and tons of posts. I learn about how he grew up in countries like Ethiopia, Madagascar, Kenya, and Cameroon, and he shares stories and from his street shoots. Meanwhile, I distract myself from the nerve-wracking election results by venting about FotoWeek DC.
