The correct term is pamphlet sewing.  Support the showI use buzzsprout.com for podcast hosting and love it!

Replay: Storytelling (with Ted Vieira), originally released on Nov 5 2020
This is a replay of one of my early episodes. I have been listening back to many of my early interviews, and have been fortunate to talk to many great photographic artists. One of the conversations I really enjoyed and that I'd like to replay for you was my discussion with Ted Vieira.  Below is the original episode information:  #8. In this episode of CREATE. PHOTOGRAPHY,  Daniel will discuss storytelling in photography with Ted Vieira. (Originally published on November 5 2020).Ted Vieira is a Las Vegas based photographer, focusing on portrait photography. He really appreciates seeing a photo that tells a story. Ted says that [the story] is the thing that makes someone keep coming back to look at the photo again.I have been following Ted's work for a while, and love his photography and his style. He also has one of the coolest voices on YouTube or the podcasting world! We had a great time discussing story telling and related topics around the creative process.You can find Ted here: https://tavphotography.com/Ted's books can be found here. By the way, he encourages other photographers to create similar books as he did (see YouTube and podcast links below): https://tavphotography.com/books-available-from-ted-vieira/Ted's YouTube channelTed's podcast Photography Matters can be found here: https://photographymatterspodcast.com/Support the showI use buzzsprout.com for podcast hosting and love it!
