Jennifer McCord on capturing the power of intimacy (Bonus)

The New Exchange with Ken Grand-Pierre

It’s been a while since I’ve had a fellow photographer on the podcast, and it does bring a massive smile on my face to finally introduce you to my friend Jennifer McCord. This bonus chat with Jenny is essentially a part 2 of the Half Moon Run pod that dropped earlier this week. Jenny is a photographer primarily based in London that takes the kind of photos that makes us go “damn, I wish I took that.” She has a signature perspective and approach to her work, which is conveyed by how she captures people in stark moments of emotional intimacy. A Jennifer McCord photo is the kind of photo where you can see someone bare, but never weak. Where you can see a person conveying conviction without ever feeling forced or contrived. Throughout her career, Jenny’s toured with incredible musicians has photographed numerous celebrities in portraiture, and has become the photographer for our recent guests, Half Moon Run, where she beautifully provided creative direction for their Salt album. We chat about all that and more on this very special bonus episode of the podcast, enjoy.
