    Wesley Verhoeve - Taking Action & Committing To The Process

    We're back! It's been a while. Check out the last episode if you missed it as I went in-depth with an update—talking about where I've been, and what's in store for the future.  With that being said, I wanted to kick things off with this interview that I did with Wesley Verhoeve. We actually recorded this last year, and I feel terrible that it's taken this long for me to post it up, but I didn't want it to launch in the middle of the break I took from the show.  So, here it is, and I'm excited to share it.  If you're not familiar with Wesley, he's a very talented photographer and curator, who has just released his first monograph titled 'Notice'. In this interview, we talk about his early career in the music industry, how he discovered photography, and then we spend the majority of time talking about how his latest book project came to be.  This is a really interesting one as Wesley first started this work while he was in lockdown in Vancouver during the early stages of the pandemic. Things we touch on include: The importance of taking action and small steps forward Why printed work is so important Making things happen rather than waiting for them to come to you And many more!     Definitely take some time to check out Wesley's work. I put links below to his website, and Instagram, as well as a link to his book 'Notice'. He still has some copies available if you're interested in ordering!  Thanks for listening! ————————- Wesley's IG  Wesley's Website  Check out his book 'Notice'

    The importance of being Patient with your Photography

    Hey everyone, for today's solo episode, I wanted to talk about what I think is one of the most important skills you can have as a photographer—that is patience. Nowadays, more than ever, it can be easy to feel the need to constantly be creating and sharing work, but in doing so, you can easily miss out on ideas and opportunities that present themselves when you take a slower approach. Recently, I spent the last month making a bunch of duds... basically creating images that either didn't live up to my expectations or were just plain out bad. But those 'outtakes' are important, and they're often where you find little hints that lead you in new directions. It was a great reminder to me about how important it is to stay curious, and not beat yourself up if you're not always creating 'winners'. I figured it'd be a great topic to discuss for today's episode. I hope you enjoy it and that it gets some ideas rolling. Also, if you're interested in signing up for my 'Field Notes'—which is a bi-weekly email series that touches on more topics like this one—you can do that here: http://eepurl.com/hfQ9jz.  As always, I'd love to hear from you, so shoot me some feedback or suggestions for episodes moving forward.  Cheers!  --------------------------------  Find out more at www.contactsheetpodcast.com Follow the show on Instagram: @contactsheetpodcast  Follow Kyle on Instagram: span style="color: rgb(10,19,22);background-color: rgb(255,255,255);font-size: 16px;font-family: Geomanist, sans-
