Leeroy Jason - Part II: The more honest you are as an artist the more people relate to that
Photographer: @popsviladela
ADVISORY: In this episode we talk about issues of domestic and sexual violence
Welcome back to the second and final part of my conversation with South African photographer Leeroy Jason. If you haven’t listened to part 1 yet it’s worth tuning in so you get a sense of Leeroy, his work, his values and how we ended up having our meandering conversation - meandering, not in the sense of being directionless more in the sense of the kind of conversations you have with someone when you go for a long walk, or at a long dinner when wine is flowing moving from subject to subject.
I’ve also shamelessly added my own music in this episode but I promise, there is a context to it! In part 1 I tried to get Leeroy to tell me the music he’s listening to, I did the same in this episode but to be honest I never did manage to pin him down!
