441: Casey Fatchett - The Nerdy Photographer on Creating Timeless Images

In this episode of "F-Stop Collaborate and Listen," host Matt Payne sits down with photographer Casey Fatchett, who shares insights from his 25-year career capturing weddings, portraits, and events. Casey reveals how his background in acting and stand-up comedy has influenced his approach to connecting authentically with clients and disarming tense situations, especially as an introvert. He emphasizes the importance of emotional content, authenticity, and staying true to one's unique photographic voice rather than chasing trends or external validation. The episode also touches on the challenges of curating timeless images, the value of constructive feedback, and building a personal style rooted in genuine human connection. Casey also discusses his own podcast, "The Nerdy Photographer," which dives into the thought processes behind great photography.
