In this episode, Perrin sits down with Anusha Stewart, a UK-based food photographer who came to the camera through an unlikely path of finance in the City of London, math teaching, and running a group of care homes, before COVID lockdowns gave her the time to finally do something with the one constant in her life: food.

Anusha talks about growing up in a Sri Lankan family where dinner meant eight dishes on the table, why food was never just food but something she celebrated with and turned to when things got hard, and how a Nikon for Dummies book during lockdown became the start of a photography career she never planned for.

She gets into what her math background taught her about composition, why food pulled her into photography rather than the other way around, and the visual food memoir she is working toward that weaves together her Sri Lankan heritage, her British life, and everything the camera has helped her see along the way.

In this episode, Perrin sits down with Frederic Paulussen, a corporate and street photographer who built a photography business after getting fired from a marketing agency, on a suggestion from his dad.

Fred talks about how photography went from a high school hobby to a full-time career he never quite planned for, why he romanticized travel photography before realizing he would never actually wake up for the sunrise, and how he ended up building two completely separate creative lives under one roof.

He gets into what corporate headshot photography demands that most photographers underestimate, why he started his own street photography podcast just to get answers to questions nobody else was asking, and what eight years of staying genuinely curious has taught him about the long game in photography.

In this episode, Perrin sits down with Daniel Wakefield, a South Florida-based headshot and branding photographer who built a six-figure photography business from scratch after a first attempt that never landed a single client outside of friends and family.

Daniel talks about how a biology degree and a career teaching high school science eventually led him to the Florida Everglades with a camera, why he walked away from wildlife photography to shoot corporate headshots, and what he had to unlearn about business before things finally clicked. He gets into the mindset shifts that separate photographers who struggle from those who scale, why genuine connection is the engine behind everything he does, and what actually happens to people when they see a great headshot of themselves for the first time.
