016: Reflections on What I’ve Learned from Past Guests

In Episode 16, being the last episode of 2022, we talk about the first year of The Savory Shot, the guests we've met during this time and our reflections. When Mica first started planning this podcast, the goal was to create a space where guests could share stories and experiences, and the listeners could connect with one another on a deeper level. Fear kicked in and she began doubting this start. Pushing this aside, The Savory Shot began! The most impactful thing - connecting with the listeners.

011: Why Comparing Yourself To Other Food Photographers Is Pointless

From the moment you start taking pictures and sharing them with the world, you will begin to compare yourself to other photographers. You might feel that they are better at shooting food than you. Or that their images sell more than yours because they look like they belong on a magazine cover. But comparing yourself to other photographers is pointless because everyone has a unique perspective on the world around them and uses that unique perspective to tell their story.
It's easy to feel like your work is never good enough. In this episode, we talk about why comparing yourself to other food photographers is pointless, and why that belief can keep you from growing as a photographer.
