    Ep 64: How to Tell an Impactful Story Through Your Images

    Photographs have the ability to tell stories, and our guests today, Kirsten Lewis and Tyler Wirken, have got their photography storytelling techniques down to a fine (or not-so-fine) art. The special bond between these two blossomed out of a mentorship program, and has changed their lives for the better, both personally and professionally. Tyler and Kirsten open up about the clarity that has come with age, why less is more when it comes to storytelling through photos, and the benefits of relinquishing control when you are shooting. Kirsten and Tyler both feel that their career paths are not set in stone, but they know that their ultimate goal is for their work to have a meaningful impact on society as a whole. A big focus area for both guests is “day in the life” sessions and they explain, in a very heartfelt way, why they feel there is so much value in doing shoots of this nature and why they always take photos that speak from their own hearts and personal perspectives. This episode will leave you itching to grab your camera and tell a story with it!
