    What actually qualifies you as a photographer? S3 Ep10

    What actually qualifies you as a photographer? Is it a degree, a course, or awards — or is it something quieter than that?In this episode, Mitch reflects on what really makes someone a photographer. Not certificates or permission, but consistency, curiosity, and the willingness to keep showing up. From missed shots and slow progress to finding your own way of seeing, this is a calm, honest conversation about practice, patience, and trusting the process. A reflective episode about photography, creativity, and life — one frame at a time. #photographypodcast#photographyjourney#creativeprocess#slowphotography#mindfulphotography#visualjournal#findingyourstyle#mitchcaptureimagery
