067: How Eric Cheng Created WetPixel The Leading Underwater Photography Community On The Web

Summary: Today I'm thrilled to have a Stanford classmate, Eric Cheng, on the podcast. Eric is an award-winning underwater photographer, aerial imager and publisher. His work has been featured in the Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum and he’s spoken internationally at events like TEDx, the Churchill Club, Good Morning America and more. He’s also well known for being the founder of Wetpixel.com, the most popular community website dedicated to underwater photography and videography. As part of this site, he leads underwater expeditions all over the world which is pretty damn cool. He’s also held leadership roles at Lytro, the first light field camera company and today, he’s the director of aerial imaging at DJI, a leading quad copter manufacturer. What I like about Eric is that he has used entrepreneurship to facilitate his lifestyle as an artist. In fact, I recommend that everyone head on over EChengPhoto.com and check out some of his work!
