On the 4th episode of Squaretalk, we sat down with Richard Baranyai, an experienced photographer in charge of Los Angeles studio for Squareshot.

In the early 2000s, Richard moved to Los Angeles from Hungary to pursue photography as a full-time job and since then has shot for clients, such as Apple, Ebay, PAX, Compass, and many more.

On this podcast, we explored the client-photographer relationship, talked about photography vs. 3D renders, and insights from Richard's most notable shoots.

We hope you enjoy the episode as much as we enjoyed shooting it. If you liked the video, feel free to like and subscribe as well as comment on who would you like to see next on Squaretalk.
