324: Ricardo Da Cunha - Developing Guiding Principles

Creating personal work in our photography is harder than it sounds. One possible way to give us a path forward is to develop a set of guiding principles that help set the stage for our future work. On today's podcast episode, my guest, Ricardo Da Cunha, explains how this has helped him improve as a photographer.  On this week's episode, we discuss: How Ricardo got into landscape photography. The role photography plays in Ricardo's day-to-day life. How his true passion for animal welfare intersects with his photography. How Ricardo goes about creating more personal work. Ricardo's goal with his photography. Why it is important for Ricardo to create images that are infused with a part of himself. The development of guiding principles and how to do it. The role collaborations have played in shaping his photography career. And a lot more! Other topics/links discussed on the podcast this week: Support the podcast on Patreon.
