Sen Floyd on Legacy, Photography + Cinema Journey, MMA, and Daily Spiritual Practices | #12

Senetchut Men Ab Nehti, best known as Sen M. Floyd, is a Brooklyn-born photographer/ cinematographer. Having picked up a small point-shoot camera in his early teen years as a means of creative expression, Senetchut transformed a hobby into a lifelong passion. Heavily influenced by New York City’s diverse culture, Sen’s raw approach towards his photography gives his work—motion and still —an organic characteristic. When he was fifteen Sen’s work was featured in museum galleries such as the Studio Museum of Harlem, and the Jewish Museum. He began his study of storytelling through photography at the Tisch School of the Arts. Later, Sen studied documentary filmmaking under the guidance of Albert Maysles at the Maysles Institute and Cinema. He continued his quest for expanded cinematography skills at the Film Connection Institute, and later for portraiture at the New York Institute of Photography.

In this episode Sen and I discuss 

  • How being raised by health conscious and spiritually aware parents impacted his upbringing
  • Finding a balance between working with both cinematography and stills
  • Being a documentarian of the current New York Hip-Hop scene and how Hip-Hop has influenced all of his work
  • The importance of legacy + longevity
  • MMA as a spiritual practice and discipline
  • Daily visualization + meditation practices
  • Mentorship
  • Advice for photographers regarding workflow + subject connection
  • And the definition of Sen's name, his influences, and future works
