462: "Styled Shoots Are Cheating" - We Discuss Photography Industry HOT Takes

This week Evie and Lindsey dive straight into the spicy side of the photography world with a full lineup of industry hot takes that every creative has heard, whispered about, or secretly debated in their group chats. From the controversial claim that styled shoots are cheating to whether presets make you a bad editor to the uproar over using inspo photos from Pinterest and the big conversation around photographers marketing only to other photographers, the girls peel back the layers on what is actually true, what is totally blown out of proportion, and where they land based on years of building successful creative careers. They share hilarious personal stories from their early wedding days, talk honestly about how creatives grow their style, and discuss why AI editing is shifting the industry in real time. They unpack why photographers accidentally end up talking only to other photographers online, and finish with a candid breakdown of the growing trend of burnt out photographers jumping straight into education before they are ready. If you want an episode filled with honesty, laughter, real talk and the permission to rethink any rule the industry has ever tried to put on you, this one is a must listen. --------------------------------- Pinterest Freebie: --------------------------------- Honeybook: share.honeybook.com/heart In addition to a FREE 7 day trial, get 35% off your first two years of HoneyBook! --------------------------------- Heart Apparel Shop: --------------------------------- Watch on YouTube: --------------------------------- If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here . --------------------------------- "PODCAST10" for 10% off anything from The Shop! --------------------------------- Follow along:
