How to Find New & Exciting Things to Shoot Locally
The Photographer Mindset
06/10/22 • 44 min
In this episode we tackle a question and topic from a listener of the show regarding how get excited and motivated to get out and shoot subjects in your local that may not be as thrilling as places like Yellowstone or Iceland. We dive into the importance of creating a photograph rather than simply using a gorgeous scene as a crutch. Lastly, we talk about the amount of genres of photography available to try and experiment with in places where location doesn't hinder your ability to capture content.
Big shoutout to this week's #TPMartwork feature @likelytowander with her awesome shot of a red Summer Tanager chowing on a dragonfly! This is a photo where her patience allowed her to catch the animal performing an interesting act. The animal's behaviour makes the photo, not the subject itself. If you're listening on Spotify you're able to see her image. Be sure to check out more of her work and keep submitting to the hashtag for your chance to have your image featured and talked about on a future episode!

Avoiding the Social Media Game! Photography as a Means to Achieving Happiness with @lyndonswildphotos
The Photographer Mindset
06/17/24 • 67 min
Lyndon Norman (@lyndonswildphotos) is a wildlife and nature photographer from Alberta, Canada. She has a genuine passion for ethical wildlife and nature photography, and prioritizes unique perspectives and the safety of animals.
Social media, we all know, is a mess. Anxiety, harmful comparison, grinding until we burnout, feeling like we need to feed the machine. Sometimes we may find ourselves wondering why we started our photography journey in the first place. Thankfully in this episode with Lyndon, we talk about practicing photography simply in the pursuit of happiness rather than achievement. We also describe ways to fulfill our need to create art without worrying about content metrics, insights, and performance constantly.
Expect to learn how to get back to your "why" for photography, how to realize that "more" isn't always better than "enough", why you shouldn't be glued to your social media insights, and how to ensure you're making photos that you love and not what just feeds the algorithm.

A Learning Experience from a Client Shoot
The Photographer Mindset
06/17/22 • 53 min
After ten days away in Spain I'm back with Aaron to catch up, talk about a bit of my trip and see what Aaron has been up to.
Aaron breaks down his most recent experience shooting for a travelling van company and his recap of the event is filled with useful information and lessons that we want listeners to use when working on commercial gigs. It's always better to learn from other people's mistakes than your own.
Big shoutout to this week's #TPMartwork feature @johnnardacci with this beautiful "flowy" waterfall shot in Mass, USA! Getting the greens right in a photo is tricky and John nailed it. If you're listening on Spotify you're able to see his image. Because we have the Instagram launched, you can now also view all TPM features on our profile under the "TPMartwork" highlight icon. Be sure to check out more of John's work and keep submitting to the hashtag for your chance to have your image featured and talked about on a future episode!

Recognizing Opportunity & How Seeking Discomfort Creates Breakthroughs with Jarrad Seng
The Photographer Mindset
10/13/23 • 61 min
Today's episode features a discussion with Jarrad Seng (@jarradseng), an acclaimed Australian photographer and filmmaker. With a unique blend of music and travel photography, Jarrad has established himself as a sought-after visual storyteller, capturing moments that evoke emotions and transport viewers to new worlds.
Jarrad is also a Canon Australia Ambassador. His portfolio boasts collaborations with renowned artists such as Passenger, Matt Corby, Ed Sheeran, and Matchbox Twenty. Jarrad has held multiple exhibitions for his work, was a contestant on Australian Survivor, and recently completed a lecture for a TEDx Talk on the topic of "Seeking Discomfort".
In today's episode, we delve into a powerful theme: the art of recognizing opportunity and embracing the "yes" mindset. We explore the concept of taking calculated risks and the profound impact it can have on personal growth and creating an extraordinary life filled with adventure and breakthroughs.
At the heart of this discussion lies the notion of seeking discomfort. We uncover how stepping outside of our comfort zones is not only a catalyst for character development but also a gateway to unlocking a world brimming with untapped potential.
You can find links to all of Jarrad's work discussed in this episode here:

Empathy and Having the Best Relationship With Yourself
The Photographer Mindset
05/27/22 • 58 min
Today is a heavy episode. We start off the episode speaking on the tragedy that occurred in Uvalde, Texas where a school shooter murdered 19 innocent children and 2 adults. We share our thoughts surrounding this horrible and all too common tragedy.
We transition the conversation into making room for empathy and reminding everyone to practice self care. We also talk about how everything in life is relationships, and that we need to be constantly learning and teaching the best ways to have healthy interactions.
There is no #TPMartwork for today's episode as it didn't feel right given the heavy content.

Running a Guiding & Photography Business Inside Kruger National Park with @karolinanoréewild
The Photographer Mindset
08/12/22 • 73 min
In this episode, Aaron and I are joined by Karolina Norée (@karonlinanoreewild) , a Swedish wildlife photographer living in South Africa near Kruger National Park. Karolina explains what's involved in running a business with your significant other. We also talk about what to expect on a trip to Kruger National park. What kind of lenses should you bring, what kind of animals can you expect to see?
We also talk about having family and friends who support your photography journey and what it must feel like for those who don't have that support. Again we revisit a bit of imposter syndrome and keep chipping away at how to mitigate it. Among tons of other things we also talk about what went into creating an e-book and how photographers can add e-books to their list of products for sale.
