Photographer and Visual and Performing Arts Professor Stephen DiRado fell in love with cameras at age 12 and remains infatuated five decades later.
“As a nervous kid, the camera had that same kind of heartbeat — that click, click, click, click, click — as opposed to the slow, methodical way of working with a paintbrush or with a pencil. It spoke to me on so many levels,” says DiRado.
On this episode of Challenge. Change., DiRado recalls some of the first images he captured and shares a glimpse into how he constructs a photograph from behind the lens.
