Outtakes is back with a brand new episode! We recently caught up with professional pooch photographer Alex Hopes and got a first-hand account of his journey to social media stardom, dog photography, and business ownership. In 2012, Alex moved to Austin, Texas with his dog, Sid. He had never visited Austin before, didn't have a job lined up and didn't know anyone in the city but would eventually go on to create the wildly popular Instagram account, and thriving business model, ZilkerBark. Since that time, Alex and Sid have been featured in Tribeza Magazine, Huff Post, The Austin-American Statesmen, Austin Fit Magazine, Buzzfeed, and The Austin Chronicle. To see more of Alex's work, check out his websites at www.zilkerbark.com and www.alexhopes.com. You can also follow him on Instagram @zilkerbark and @alexhopes. His Instagram-famous dog Sid can be found eating pizza and other various snacks @myregalbeagle.
On our next episode of Outtakes, we catch up with Austin-based photographer Liz Moskowitz to learn about her life as a full-time freelancer and her passion for documentary storytelling. Liz has a degree in photojournalism from The University of Texas at Austin and has been crafting stunning portraiture and impactful visual content for over a decade. Her work has been featured in national publications such as Oxford American and The New York Times Style Magazine, and was a Judge's Choice Winner from the SXSW Faces of Austin Film Premiere for her video work.
On our first episode, we chat with our very own photo recruiter, Thomas Allison, about his experience as a former GoDaddy freelancer shooting local businesses around Austin, TX. We also go into detail about a cycling trip (and forthcoming documentary series) from Alaska to Argentina that he participated in over the course of 2 years.
