Now known worldwide for his award winning portraits of Asher Keddie (his now wife), Julia Gillard and Heath Ledger, Vincent chats to Hugh, Ryan and Josh about the incredible father figures, role models and friends that he has connected with throughout his life, and the impact they have had on his sense of self. Vincent, this was a dream come true.</p> <p>To watch this video on YouTube (a picture paints a thousand words after all), follow this link - 🫖 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwH3A-jSd3U</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Other Imperfects episodes mentioned in this episode</p> <p>Billy Slater - Leading from the (Full)Back -&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/45ZZfQ6">https://bit.ly/45ZZfQ6</a></p> <p>🎨Things to check out</p> <p>Vincent&rsquo;s Gallery - <a href="https://bit.ly/4n4CyAr">https://bit.ly/4n4CyAr</a></p> <p>&lsquo;Heath&rsquo; Portrait - <a href="https://bit.ly/3Tp8amG">https://bit.ly/3Tp8amG</a></p> <p>&lsquo;Love Face&rsquo; Portrait -&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/4lcE4yQ">https://bit.ly/4lcE4yQ</a></p> <p>&lsquo;All that&rsquo;s good in me&rsquo; (self-portrait as son Luca) -&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/4kJF8u1">https://bit.ly/4kJF8u1</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>📖Things to read</p> <p>Unveiled by Vincent Fantauzzo -&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/4e3PsKO" data-token-index="1">https://bit.ly/4e3PsKO</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>🚨If you, or someone you know, is struggling with thoughts surrounding suicide, suicidal ideation or self-harm, please call 000 or Life Life on 13 11 14. 🩷To host your own Vulnerabilitea House, purchase the Vulnerabilitea House Cards here -&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/3Cx4tGP" data-token-index="1">https://bit.ly/3Cx4tGP</a>🩵To purchase our journal (or your novel)&nbsp;My Imperfect Life,&nbsp;click here -&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/3Cx4tGP" data-token-index="3">https://bit.ly/3Cx4tGP</a>🩵To join our patreon community, A Little More Imperfects, follow this link - <a href="http://patreon.com/theimperfects" data-token-index="3">patreon.com/theimperfects</a> 🩷 AND you can subscribe to A Little More Imperfects through Apple Podcasts too, here <a href="http://apple.co/theimperfects" data-token-index="3">apple.co/theimperfects</a> The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.
