EP29 - Self Love Sessions & Healing Through Photography -- with Michael Betzner

An Unscripted Podcast for Photographers

Michael Betzner is a conceptual portrait photographer based in Raleigh, North Carolina. His sessions are heavily stylized and concept-driven and often feature himself, his friends, and creative reappropriations of domestic objects like televisions, wheelbarrows, and pantyhose. Through the content that he produces, and the way it celebrates the vulnerability of the human form, Michael has created a little corner of the internet that is uniquely safe, welcoming, and honest. One of his offerings is “self love sessions,” and during this episode we talk about the healing potential of photography and how it has the capacity to transform the way you see yourself and others. He shares some wonderful pieces of wisdom about his own personal healing journey, talks about a healthy approach to social media, and gives us the goss on a deliciously scandalous photoshoot gone wrong.
