  1. The One Photography Skill That Changes Everything

    The One Photography Skill That Changes Everything

    In this week’s episode of The Light Between, I explore a question I’m asked all the time:How do you truly improve as a photographer? My answer has very little to do with your camera and everything to do with your capacity to observe, to feel, to be present, and to let the world around you shape your inner world. I share how photography becomes a meditation when we slow down enough to actually see: the way light sculpts a scene, the subtle details we usually rush past, the quiet wisdom found in stillness. From a golden beam of sunlight breaking through the clouds on a rainy walk to a tiny sparrow, these moments remind us that beauty is always happening around us, waiting to be witnessed. Photography is not just about framing a subject. It’s about becoming an active participant in the world. When we tune into the light, the layers, the movement, and the emotional weather within us, we begin to create from a deeper, more grounded place. This is an invitation to slow down and come back to the basics of observation and presence. I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for listening!

  2. Getting It Right In Camera

    Getting It Right In Camera

    I hope you are well! In this episode of The Light Between, we explore the idea of “getting it right in camera,” both in photography and in life. I chat about what you should ideally “get right” in camera and why. Also, I reflect on how photography teaches us to meet the moment as it is, to trust our instincts, and to find beauty in imperfection, even when things don’t go as planned. From exposure and composition to light and shadow, every element —both in our images and in our lives —plays a role in shaping the bigger picture. In the end, it’s not about getting it perfect, but about learning to see with patience, presence, and heart. Thanks for listening!

  3. Presence, Patience, & Photographing The Ordinary

    Presence, Patience, & Photographing The Ordinary

    In this episode of The Light Between, I explore what it means to find inspiration in the ordinary—the everyday light, moments, and details that often go unnoticed—and how patience and presence are key to photography. We’ll chat about those seasons when photography feels flat or routine and how, instead of chasing new destinations or dramatic scenes, we can reignite our vision by slowing down, observing patiently, and connecting deeply with what’s right in front of us. Through stories, gentle exercises, and practical tips, I’ll share how light, movement, and repetition can help you rediscover beauty in your familiar surroundings, train your eye to observe, and bring more presence and soul into your work. This episode is an invitation to see your world and yourself with fresh eyes. Thanks for listening!

  4. Finding Freedom In Your Visual Voice

    Finding Freedom In Your Visual Voice

    In this episode, we’ll discuss the pressure to niche and what happens when we let that pressure shape our creative voice too soon. So many photographers feel torn between what sells and what feels true, but sometimes the real challenge is in allowing yourself to explore without a label. I share thoughts on how your style and subject matter can evolve naturally when you stop trying to fit into a box and start paying attention to what genuinely lights you up. This conversation is an invitation to trust the season you’re in and remember that your work doesn’t need to be one thing to be meaningful. I also share lessons I’ve learned from shooting across different genres and how you can define your photography truths to stay aligned with your visual voice. Thanks for listening!

    Be Your Own Lighthouse

    In this episode of The Light Between, we explore what it truly means to be your own lighthouse, to navigate uncertainty, trust your intuition, and create from your center. We’ll explore how to let go of the need for validation, reconnect with your creative voice, and create for yourself rather than for approval. This episode is an invitation to return to your own inner compass, nurture your creative energy, and remember that what’s meant for you will always find its way when you stay grounded in your own light.

  6. Redefining What A "Good" Photo Is

    Redefining What A "Good" Photo Is

    This episode of The Light Between explores the question every photographer faces: “Is this photo actually any good?” We’ll explore how to move beyond self-doubt and the need for external validation, encouraging a mindset shift from judgment to curiosity. The episode dives into what really makes a photograph “good,” not just technical perfection, but the story, emotion, and authenticity it conveys. Listeners are guided to ask reflective questions about their work, focusing on what resonates with them personally instead of merely adhering to photographic rules. This episode empowers photographers to define their own standards of “good,” balancing traditional principles with intuition and personal expression. It’s time to take your creative power back. Define what “good” is to you and your visual voice.

    The Power Of Visual Storytelling

    In this episode, we’re exploring the art of visual storytelling in photography. I’ll discuss how to move beyond merely taking pictures to creating photographs that connect, evoke emotion, and transport the viewer. We’ll dive into my framework for building a visual story, the importance of presence and intuition, and how asking “who, what, where, and when” can shape your narrative. I’ll also share why not every photo needs a story, how beauty alone can be powerful, and why a sequence of images, much like pages in a book, can tell a deeper, more layered story. Whether you’re shooting for yourself or a client, this episode is an invitation to slow down, look closer, and see your work as part of something larger, a story only you can tell.

    When Photography Feels Hard: Returning To Flow

    When photography starts to feel hard, frustrating, or stuck, it’s easy to question your path. In this episode, I share ways to reconnect with your creative flow, shifting from struggle into a place of ease, presence, and possibility. It’s about softening the pressure, honoring the hard moments, and remembering why you picked up the camera in the first place. I hope you enjoy it!

    Finding Your Photography Style: An Open Exploration

    In the very first episode of The Light Between, I dive into one of the most common (and most complicated) questions photographers ask: “What is my style?” I share why your photography style is really about how you see the world and why it naturally evolves as you grow. I also unpack the difference between style and aesthetic, why it’s okay for your style to shift, and how to hold your creative identity lightly so it can grow with you. If you’re the messy middle of finding your style and defining your visual voice, I hope this helps. Alanna’s Substack is a reader-supported publication.
