#83: 5 traits all creatives battle with Miles Witt Boyer

Shoot Edit Chat Repeat

Welcome to episode 83 of Shoot Edit Chat Repeat, the podcast for people photographers. Hosted by two leading UK portrait photographers, Vicki Knights & Eddie Judd.

This week we chat to talented US wedding photographer and Fujifilm ambassador Miles Witt Boyer.

Miles runs a thriving wedding photography business with a team of associates, shooting weddings around the world.

Here are some of the topics we chat about...

- Why creatives are constantly going through an identity crisis

- Why creatives are often scattered and easily distracted and how to manage this

- How being sensitive affects our work and can lead the way for more connection with our subjects

- Why Miles doesn't believe photography is telling other peoples' stories

- How to change the starving artist mentality and be successful as a creative

- How Miles creates powerful connection in his images and his advice to help you do the same

It's a fascinating chat - Miles makes so many brilliant points that really got us thinking. We know you're going to love it too!
