The Conversations Captured via Photography
Welcome to Latinx in Power, a podcast aiming to help demystify tech. We do that by interviewing Latinx leaders from all over the world to hear their perspectives and insights. In this episode, we talked with Carl-Phillipe Juste (he/him), a photojournalist and art space operator with 30+ years of experience. He is the co-founder/owner of Iris PhotoCollective, IPC Visual Lab, IPC ArtSpace, and IPC ArtStage. Carl specializes in visual storytelling, focusing on human interest, entertainment, science, politics, sports, and documentary photography. During our conversation, we discussed Carl Juste’s artistic journey and delved into his approach to visual storytelling. We explored how he balances the integrity of photojournalism with his unique perspective as an artist of color.Well, if you consider French and Spanish to be Romance languages, then I am Latin. I’m a francophone. My mother was born in Cuba, so she was fluent in Spanish, as is my father. My sister also speaks Spanish. However, we share a common culture. Therefore, I can navigate and switch between identifying as Caribbean and as Latin. The possibility of being both at the same time is not something that’s impossible. So, I consider myself with one foot in each place, but it’s a part of my identity because I cannot completely divorce myself from it. My mother was Cuban, so I consider myself both Latin and a francophone.
