    #18 Albert Roig Collell | The truth behind the photography industry

    Today's guest is Albert Roig Collell, the Founder and CEO of Carmencita Film Lab, one of Europe's premier indie film labs located in Barcelona, Spain. This honest conversation is all about the unspoken struggle and reality behind doing photography or anything else that comes from a place of passion. Albert challenges the status quo on many levels and brings to the surface truths that are uncomfortable yet necessary for the entire community. In a world where social media exists, and everyone tries to be a role model, it is easy to think that you can copy other people's journeys and make a living out of your craft. In reality, things are far more complex and full of ups and downs. Tune in!

    #16 Lauren Chambers | Authenticity is a buzzword. How to stay true to your values

    #16 Lauren Chambers | Authenticity is a buzzword. How to stay true to your values

    Today’s guest is the wonderful wedding photographer and educator Lauren Chambers. Even though Lauren started doing photography over three years ago, her rhythm and integrity significantly accelerated her growth. She knows her values inside-out and stays true to them. This level of clarity allows her to save time and energy in order to focus on things that matter and make a difference. In this interview, Lauren comes with a fresh perspective on the known buzzword "authenticity" and what it actually means to be authentic. She thinks that wedding photography is not about the art, but about providing a good service to your clients, and those who want to create art should choose a different niche. Tune in on this insightful conversation and let us know if you agree.

    #15 James Simmons | Sustainable success — how to stay relevant & inspired

    #15 James Simmons | Sustainable success — how to stay relevant & inspired

    Our podcast host, the talented Oli Sansom, chats with James Simmons, a brilliant wedding photographer from Australia, about ways photographers can stay inspired and relevant in the long run. A lot of photography jobs require you to do the same thing over and over again, this can put you on autopilot. Several things happen in this state: 1) your creativity and your courage to start new things, suffer. 2) you start wondering why do you do what you do. And on top of that, as new photographers enter the market every single day — everything becomes even more challenging. During the pandemic, James took the opportunity to rethink his journey, and identify whether he’s still on the right track. It was a turning point, and an excellent chance to change his mindset.

    #13 Annie Poe | Photographing weddings while going through heartbreak

    In today's interview, we tackle a delicate topic inside the wedding world, yet one that needs more attention. Dealing with heartbreak while also showing up to photograph someone else’s most important and romantic day of their life. The wedding industry is packed into a shiny mantra of good vibes only, making it difficult for people to dare to make their voice heard. But it doesn't automatically imply that it has not affect on photographers' emotional balance and overall health; quite the contrary. If you are going through a period of grief while having to document the 'happiest day' of other people's lives, we hope this honest conversation between our guest Annie Poe, and our host Nadia Meli, will make you feel seen and less alone.
