In this fourth episode of Social Effects, Edward spoke with Maurice Li, the Vancouver-based co-founder of Stay & Wander. Maurice left behind a successful career in venture capital to pursue his life-long passion for travel and photography. Shortly thereafter, he noticed a void in the market—commercial photography and videography—simply was not keeping up with the voracious appetite and unique demands of the social media age. As a response, in 2013 he co-founded Stay & Wander, one of the first digital content agencies to specialize in social-first yet commercially versatile visuals and influencer-led advertising campaigns.

In this second episode of Social Effects, Edward spoke with London based photographer, filmmaker, all-around visual content creator and storyteller extraordinaire, Holly-Marie Cato. The two talk through how Holly got started in photography by being at arguably the wrong place at the right time (the 2011 Tottenham riots in England with a point and shoot) and has reached a point where she can make powerful choices as to when is the right time for her to bring her camera to the right place.
