Creative Maintenance: Carter Howe

How often were told you told in school that you need to focus on one thing? If you were anything like me and my friends, I’d imagine it was a daily occurrence for you. There’s arguably some merit to why/how this was pushed onto us, but what about the people who say “f that”? That’s clearly been the case with our friend Carter Howe, a multi-disciplinary creative who’s exploring photography, modeling, and film production in quite some unique ways. At the core of Carter’s work is the exploration of identity, how it can be highlighted, personified, and a vehicle for storytelling. This has led him to working closely with acts like MUNA and Lucy Dacus, and brands like Nike and Levi’s, bringing his distinct style across those projects in a way that seems effortless.

But if you’ve been following this series, you know we’re interested in exploring how oftentimes things are anything but effortless. What is it like to pour yourself into so many projects while also traversing who you are professionally and personally? We chat about all of this while having some great laughs in the process.
