Celebrity photographer Mark Seliger always has interesting and eclectic guests on his YouTube show CAPTURE, and this week's episode is no exception. On the show (embedded below), Seliger interviews Russian dance legend Mikhail "Misha" Baryshnikov, who's also a photographer.

Baryshnikov discusses what it's like to make the transition from being in front of the camera, showing off his famous dance moves, to being behind the lens and capturing other dancers in motion.

Also interviewed on the show is Benjamin Lowy, a professional photographer who pioneered using the Hipstamatic app on his iPhone to capture dramatic images of war in Iraq and Libya.
