Recharging Creative Batteries with Steven Wallace

#418 In this episode of the Beginner Photography Podcast, I chat
with photographer Stephen Wallace about the importance of making
work that truly matters. Steven discuss' the impact of blending
personal exploration and client work, and how this can lead to
greater satisfaction and better results. Steven shares his
insights on shooting film and digital, and offers advice on
navigating the film versus digital debate. The conversation
delves into the psychology behind our choice of subjects, and
emphasizes the significance of creating work that resonates with
us on a personal level. This conversation will encourage you to
prioritize you own artistic vision and not simply follow
trends.

THE BIG IDEAS


Personal Work Powers Growth: Taking time to shoot just for
yourself keeps your creativity fresh and prevents burnout in paid
work.

Process Matters More Than Perfection: Enjoy the act of
photographing, regardless of the final image—sometimes the
experience is the true reward.

Balance Authenticity with Professionalism: Blend your
personal style with what clients value by staying open and
observant, creating work that’s meaningful on both fronts.

Reflection Builds Self-Awareness: Revisiting your older
photos reveals recurring themes and helps you understand what
draws you in as a photographer.
