For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

#072 | Should You Work For FREE? 41:53

cách đây 8 ngày trước41:53

41:53

This week, we’re diving into one of the most debated topics in the creative industry: Should you work for free? We break it down across different experience levels because the answer really depends on context. If you’re a beginner, shooting for free might actually be worth it. It can help you build your portfolio, gain hands-on experience, and explore different niches of the creative industry. But once you're more experienced, it's a different game. You’ve already got the portfolio, you've worked with big names, and your time is better spent pursuing high-value, paid work in your niche... not random unpaid shoots that don’t align with your goals. We also unpack the idea of value exchange, just because it’s unpaid doesn’t mean it’s worthless. Sometimes you're gaining access to a valuable network, opening doors for future projects, or gaining long-term exposure that could pay off well beyond the shoot. We share our personal rules, client red flags, and decision-making process when it comes to taking on unpaid work. And when to absolutely say no. Oh! And we’re hyped to say this is our first video episode back! You can now watch the full episode on YouTube as well! FOLLOW AND STAY CONNECTED! ⁠Newsletter⁠ ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠ ⁠TikTok…

#071 | Why You Need to Shout Louder About Your Work 50:53

cách đây 15 ngày trước50:53

50:53

In this episode, we’re talking about something that every creative needs to hear: you have to be your own biggest fan! We get into why shouting about your work online isn’t arrogant - it’s necessary! And how staying visible and hungry is what keeps opportunities coming your way. But we also unpack why so many creatives stop doing it… Is it fear of being cringe or being a try-hard? Feeling like you’ve already “made it”? Or just slowly drifting from that early hustle mindset? Whether you’re just starting out or years into your career, this episode is your reminder to back yourself relentlessly, because if you don’t, who will?…

Professional clients need a professional YOU . In this episode, we’re talking about how to make your work look more premium, without needing the most expensive gear or biggest budget. We talk about the importance of curating your portfolio by showing only your strongest work (because 3 great pieces are more powerful than 7 average ones). We also explore professional systems and workflows that instantly elevate how clients perceive you. Things like branded email domains, client dashboards, invoices, contracts, and the way you communicate. And finally, we get into why the small details MATTER . From the way you polish a final export to how you wrap a project, because often the biggest difference between good and great is just the extra 10% . STAY CONNECTED!

#069 | Picking the Right Clients & Debunking Bad Creative Advice! 24:09

24:09

In this episode, we dive into a crucial part of creative growth: figuring out what kind of work actually fulfils you—so you can start choosing clients that are the right fit, not just any fit. We also respond to a social post who claims the people in the creative industry have been led into thinking it's a sustainable career, and advised others to “keep your day job” and do creative work on the side. We disagree, and break down why advice like this can be harmful to those trying to make full-time creative career work. Whether you’re just starting out or trying to refine the kind of work you want to do, this one’s all about alignment, perspective, and pushing back against limiting beliefs .…

This week, we’re joined by Ron Timehin! – Ron is an award winning photographer, director and creative visionary. Whilst also being a Sony, Adobe, Wex and DB ambassador.

How creating for yourself opens doors, leads to big brand opportunities, and keeps you creatively fulfilled beyond just chasing trends online.

His ability to turn his own life experiences into meaningful creative work is what makes his projects so powerful. We also get into why photography is the ultimate visa, granting access to worlds, people, and places you’d never reach otherwise.

#064 | The Creative Process is Yours: Breaking Free from Comparison 28:47

cách đây 20 weeks trước28:47

28:47

In today's episode we dive into the creative process and why we all have our own version of it. You should be confident in your own process and not lean too heavily on what other creatives tell you to do, if you get big ideas and motivation from staring at a wall for 9 hours, perfect! We also discuss comparison culture in our industry and how it's great for inspiration, but it can become rocky ground if you're comparing your work to someone else's. It's also knowing that you can work with crew to elevate you beyond your current skill level. You don't have to know everything, you just have to work with people who can fill in the gaps. This is a more relaxed and personal conversation, so grab your hot cold December hot chocolate, your blanket and your teddy. Enjoy! SEND US A QUESTION! STAY UPDATED WITH US!

In today’s episode, we are joined by the incredibly talented Charlie Knight, a Cinematographer/ DoP based in London, whose work has graced some of the biggest fashion campaigns for brands like Burberry, GANT, and more! Charlie dives deep into his experiences in the creative industry, sharing insights on his process to prepare for upcoming film shoots, understanding the key roles on set, each of their responsibilities, and his approach to securing new work.

We also explore the concept of choice in creative work — how every project you take on can shape the trajectory of your career, and why being intentional about your decisions matters. Plus, Charlie discusses his experience working with an agent, how it can act as a stamp of approval, and why it may not be a necessity for every creative.
