Manage episode 426137571 series 3583042
Canadian photographer, recipe developer and blogger Heidi Richter joins me to talk about her work as both a commercial and editorial food and nature photographer.
We discuss her early steps as a self-taught photographer who wanted to take better photos of her first child all the way through to earning a coveted spot on Nikon's annual creator team - as well as the challenges of being a small, creative business owner, juggling multiple roles, mom guilt, creative burnout and why we need to be both assertive, human and adaptable in an age of technological change and generative AI.
This is a great episode for creatives who...
- are challenged with mom guilt
- worry about the advent of AI - particularly for visual creators
- need help putting themselves and their work out there
- deal with imposter syndrome
- are struggling with (or has struggled with) creative burnout and has a hard time saying no
