    33: Second Shooters and Soulmates?! Feat. The Slow Shutter Podcast

    This week on Creativitea, Sara Kane is joined by Jayde and Cami of the Slow Shutter Pod—two photographers, podcasters, and actual soulmates who somehow manage to do it all TOGETHER. They talk shop about the wild world of wedding and elopement photography, the highs and lows of working with clients, and the fine art of pretending you’re not panicking when the ceremony starts early. From their early origin stories of how it all begun to rapidly becoming full-blown business owners during the covid times, the duo shares how they’ve built careers rooted in community, creativity, and just enough sarcasm to survive. They don't hold back on hot takes and questions on pricing misconceptions, overdone trends that need to be retired (please), and the shift toward intentional content creation. This interview is full of knowledge for any photographer out there and relatable hilarity, so tune in!

    31: You were forced into becoming a high fashion model?! Feat. Model Austin O'Brien

    In this episode of Creativitea, host Sara Kane kicks things off with a listener email that’s not for the faint of heart—a photographer shares her “family photoshoot from hell” that might just give you PTSD if you’ve ever held a camera professionally. Expect kids screaming, parents fighting, and a surprise twist that left Sara (and probably you) speechless. Then, Sara sits down with model Austin O’Brien, whose unexpected entrance into the modeling industry all began with a chance encounter. Austin opens up about his journey from newcomer to established model, sharing the highs, lows, and all the weird in-betweens. He talks candidly about navigating a competitive field, the impact of AI on modeling jobs, and why knowing your worth and saying "no" can be just as important as saying "yes." In their engaging conversation, Austin reflects on horror stories with unprofessional photographers, the thrill of working with major brands, and the evolving role of social media and personal branding in a model’s career. He also highlights the importance of community and surrounding yourself with the right support system. As Austin prepares to take his career overseas, he offers grounded, insightful advice for aspiring models hoping to break into the industry with confidence and clarity. This is an episode filled with both laughter and lessons—don’t miss it!
