I recently had the pleasure of joining Charlie Daly on his podcast, Notes from a Ghost. Our conversation covered a wide range of topics, from the importance of play in fostering creativity to the power of human connection in photography. It was an engaging and insightful discussion, filled with valuable takeaways.
Charlie and I both emphasized the necessity of stepping away from screens to truly connect with our creative side. In today’s digital age, it’s all too easy to get lost in a mindless scroll, forgetting to pick up a pen or camera for days. We agreed that real creativity often blossoms when we disconnect from technology and engage with the world around us.
We also touched on the gear vs. creativity debate. While the right tools can enhance your work, it’s crucial to remember that the best camera is often the one you have with you. Creativity is about seeing the world through a fresh lens and capturing the essence of a moment, regardless of the equipment you have on hand.
A highlight of our conversation was my 52 Phenomenal Women project. Sharing stories of incredible women and witnessing their vulnerability was an incredibly rewarding experience. It taught me the power of listening and the importance of celebrating others’ achievements.
