Reflecting on 500 Episodes: The Importance of Patience and Discovery in Photography

October 07, 2024

In this special 500th episode of the Perceptive Photographer Podcast, I reflect back on my journey in podcasting and photography. I am very grateful for your listening, support, and friendship which has been instrumental in keeping me going to reach this milestone. In this week’s episode, I dig a bit into the creative challenges and expectations that come with being a photographer, discussing how these experiences have shaped my work and perspective over the years.


I also wanted to emphasize the value of embracing the unexpected in creative work, highlighting how some of the most profound artistic discoveries come from moments of spontaneity and surprise and the importance of allowing space for discovery rather than focusing solely on efficiency. My hope is that 500 serves as a reminder that the path of creativity is ever-evolving, and it is the unexpected twists and turns that often lead to the most rewarding artistic breakthroughs.


Also, don’t forget to check out the upcoming workshops if you want to deepen your understanding and skills in your work.
