[Bonus] Photographing Taiwan – Interview with Chris Stowers

John chats with photographer Chris Stowers. In 1988, Chris sailed
a traditional Indonesian boat on an epic sea voyage (a trip
described alongside the three-part series on the Free China junk,
S3-Ep23-25). This led to his first story and photos being
published, and the beginning of his career in photography. He
came to Taiwan on a political photo shoot in 1991 and made it his
home base for covering Asia later that decade. Work and
wanderlust have taken Chris to over 70 countries, and his
pictures have appeared in numerous publications,
from Newsweek to the New York Times to
numerous guidebooks. In an interview full of practical
recommendations, Chris tells John about a recent book,
“Discovering Taipei on Foot,” gives insights on getting great
pictures of people, and shares his favorite temples, festivals,
and photo spots.
