S2 E20 - Amy V. Cooper
Tune in to hear my chat with Amy V. Cooper - photo consultant extraordinaire! Amy has a great story starting in fashion, then pivoting to photography. From art buyer for MTV and ad agencies to then starting her own photography agency which was the first to have an all female roster. She also launched Diversify the Lens an organization similar to ours, helping women to find mentorship, addressing discrepancies in pay, and helping women rally together to drive new policies and practices. She now helps creatives in marketing, strategy and more. She is a friend and colleague and her energy can make anyone get up off their butts and start working.
S2 E19 - Carmel Bergholz
Tune into my chat with Carmel Bergholz. She is an awesome Producer with a decade of experience and we had a great chat about what it will look like to come back to set and how to decide when it's a good time to do so too. You can find her on instagram @carmelproduces.
S2 E18 - Tracie Davis
Tune into my chat with one very talented lady, Tracie Davis. Tracie is a graduate from RISD, who then went to London to study historical and contemporary photography at the University of Manchester. She has interned at the Guggenheim and The Met and at one point immersed herself in the arena of Iranian photography and Islamic Feminism. Our conversation is a good one!
S2 E17 - Ginny Erickson
Tune in to hear my conversation with Ginny Erickson of Erickson Surfaces. Ginny is a mother of two who found her passion in crafting surfaces could actually become a career and one that she now loves dearly. Her enthusiasm for the craft is so infectious and how she became a surface maker during a down turned economy is an uplifting story!
S2 E16 - Jennifer Duda
Tune into Traci's chat with Jennifer Duda - founder of Swim and Tennis Club, and get some inside tips from an awesome photo consultant/agent/marketing expert. She has a great story of her path from working as a producer for a photographer, than at an artist agency, to then going out on her own. One of her best pieces of advice is "Be Inspiring!" - listen in to hear all her other inspiring thoughts!
S2 E15 - Sonia Reynolds
Tune into my chat with Sonia Reynolds, she is a firecracker! A writer, filmmaker, coach and so much more whose motto of "JFDI" (just f-cking do it) makes perfect sense for this unprecedented time we are in. Her maturity and wisdom go well beyond her actual age and I found her to be such an inspiration to all women creatives, I hope you will agree!
S2 E14 - Emily Choi
Tune into my chat with Emily Choi, also known as The Alpine Stylist. She is a not only a wardrobe stylist, but also does props too and specializes in outdoor, automotive, home decor, and fashion with over 10 years in the industry.
She is based in Colorado, of course! We talked at the beginning of COVID19 about what she was doing to keep creative and how to connect with her industry for community.
S2 E13 - Leah Fasten
Leah Fasten, is a lifestyle and portrait photographer based outside of Boston. She has had many amazing positions thanks to her persistence and even landed a job by walking into the office and interviewing to be an inhouse shooter without yet really having honed the craft. Her style of showcasing lifestyle for real - meaning, not hiding the messiness, or imperfectness of the day to day - being authentic visually which is a refreshing take in my opinion.
S2 E12 - Connie Conway
Connie Conway is a force to be reckoned with - starting her career as a photographer and working with A and M records and then deciding that wasn't the path, she started her production company. Fortunate to have been paired up with the awesome photographer, Hunter Freeman for the last 20 years, she has created quite an awesome little gig for herself. And she keeps her creative juices flowing by shooting her fine art photography on the side - her recent project L.A. after Sunset gives you some insight to her love for the grit and architecture that surrounds her daily life.
S2 E11 - Mary Dail
Welcome to our second season! Starting it off with an interview of our co-founder, Mary Dail who is also the founder of Big Leo Productions. Mary tells us about her journey from working at Martha Stewart Living to running her own agency, and we talk about the industry and what it's like to be reps.
