In this episode of Princess Diaries, I sit down with Mark Lee, a director from Charleston, SC, who relocated to Atlanta over 10 years ago. Mark started as a videographer before transitioning into directing, working with artists like YFN Lucci, Benny the Butcher, Monaleo, and more. We also discuss his recently released coffee table book, Behind the Lens, which tells his creative journey through powerful photography. A must-listen for creatives finding their path.
