E43 Capturing Authenticity: A Conversation with Portrait Photographer, Filmmaker and Humanitarian Randy Bacon

In Our Town with Tom Carlson

Award-winning Springfield photographer Randy Bacon is driven by a simple but profound ideology when it comes to his work in portraiture, filmmaking and the nonprofit sphere: each and every person is a unique individual who deserves to have their story shared with the world. Never losing a sense of wonderment, he has used the culmination of four decades of experience to explore the stories of those who are often overlooked and misunderstood in our society.

Host Tom Carlson sits down with Bacon to discuss his beginnings in photography, the practices he uses to authentically capture his subjects and the evolution of his artistic practice as it has expanded into multiple ongoing projects and mediums over the years.
