How Can I Create a Consistent Photography Feeling Through Genres ? | Your Photographer Mom Episode 026 with Guest: Darcy Graf
Y’all! I am so excited for our episode of Your Photographer Mom with Darcy Graf!
I feel like we recorded this ages ago – currently waffling back and forth on whether I want to start moving the podcast into all interviews or change the posting schedule a bit! – and I am just absolutely pumped to share my conversation with Darcy. I’ve known Darcy + her work for years and it’s been amazing to seem her images blossom and become so absolutely rad over the years. Her work is phenomenal and her heart is, too! So today! We’re talking about one of my very favorite photographs subjects:
HOW CAN I CREATE A CONSISTENT PHOTOGRAPHY FEELING THROUGH GENRES?
Buckle up! This one’s a fun one!
Here’s What We’re Chatting About Today!
Darcy’s Photography Background
Trying Different Types of Photography To See What You Love
How to Create Consistent Work Through Genres
Texture + Light in Photographs
Creating Beautiful Photos During Difficult Shoots
And yes! Yes it does take us (okay me, lol) to get about fifteen minutes on topic but, y’all, this episode is full of so much gold! We talk about everything under the sun from new camera jitters to how the pandemic impacted our businesses in wildly different ways, to style, to just a million different topics. I’m so excited to share this fun photography podcast with you!
Note: The audio on my end of this is a little rough! My microphone was being weird so I opted for headphones which was not the best decision of my life, haha. Sorry y’all! I’m still learning how to podcast but promise I’ll do better next week!
