Amy Feitelberg, Photo Creative Lead at Square, is a great interview for so many reasons. I love that she's had her feet in both the branding and magazine worlds. Brands like Apple, HBO, as well as Square, are hiring people with editorial experience. She’s produced great work for magazines, while Photo Director of Outside and Los Angeles magazines — and now at Square’s in-house mag, The Reader. Plus, she’s founding Curator of Images For Humanity — a photo charity supporting Ukraine that involves an amazing list of photographers. This is Part 1 of our discussion: I recommend starting on this episode first, and then listen to Part 2. It’ll make more sense that way.
