In this episode of The Long Roll, we sit down with Baltimore-based freelance photographer Wesley Lapointe, whose journey from the woods of rural Maine to the pages of The New York Times is rooted in a deep connection to place and people. Wesley shares how growing up surrounded by nature shaped his storytelling instincts, and how that early spark still drives his work today—documenting the threads that tie history, environment, and community together.
With past internships at The L.A. Times, Statesman Journal, and Willamette Week, and a portfolio that includes contributions to The Washington Post, NPR, Vice, and more, Wesley talks about the evolving role of photojournalism, the ethics of representation, and finding meaning in local stories that often go unseen.
Whether you're a fellow creative or just curious about the power of visual storytelling, this one’s for you.
