It's June 19th, 2011, and this is The Candid Frame. Welcome to another episode of the show.

Before we begin, I want to make a small correction.

In episode 114, I mispronounce my guest's name, which is a big no-no.

So my apologies to Rick Namais for that.

But I also want to take the time to thank him again for appearing on the show.

Now, today's guest may have a name that's simpler to pronounce, but his work is no less

exceptional.

Bill Wadman is an editorial photographer who specializes in portraiture,

though his original aspirations revolved around music. He instead found himself using the camera to make

beautiful and striking portraits of subjects for clients including Time magazine, Businessweek,

and The New York Times.

I met him during a photo walk led by my friends at Fated and Blurred,

and I'm grateful to them

for introducing me to Bill,

which has led to his appearance

on this show.

So sit back and enjoy

our conversation with Bill Wadman.

Well, Bill, welcome to the Candid Frame.

I'm really pleased to have a chance to talk to you.

I didn't have much of a chance to talk to you when I met you in Los Angeles a little while back.

So I've been looking forward to having a chance to sit down and talk with you.
