Episode 74: Show Notes.

Fidel Amos lived in four different countries from the time he was born until he was 15 years old, and has since traveled to 18 others, capturing every moment of his journey. This jet-setting photographer, NFT artist, and university lecturer is today’s guest, and we are thrilled to learn of his impressive professional background. Fidel turned to NFTs during desperate financial times in 2021 and has never looked back since, and he explains how reading copies of his mother’s nature journals and magazines inspired him to pick up a camera. As is the case with many artists, Fidel worked multiple jobs to support his true passion for photography, and he was not afraid to get his hands dirty to survive. We learn why he considers himself to be a stubborn housecat while others think of him as a bear, why Italian food reigns supreme in his world, and why New York would be his home of choice if money was irrelevant. Fidel believes that the perfect society is one in which everyone is treated equally, and after Guy gives his assessment of the possible future of NFT photography, our guest lays out the exciting projects that he is currently working on.
