Freelance Photography Advice You Need to Hear | Morgan Kitchen 📸

from Open Shutter Live · host Paul Yeghouchian

Creativity sometimes arrives disguised as catastrophe.Toronto-based photographer and creative director, Morgan Kitchen, joins the podcast with a story that bends in an unexpected direction. Originally from Savannah, Georgia, Morgan moved to Toronto in 2020, chasing new chapters and colder winters.He began in front of the lens as a model. Then life swerved. After being hit by a car and sidelined with injuries, he found himself grounded, still, and staring at time. Instead of waiting for momentum to return, he picked up a camera. The original plan was tactical. Learn the mechanics. Understand the angles. Become better in front of the lens by mastering what happens behind it.But the camera had other ideas.What started as rehab curiosity turned into creative ignition. Once Morgan stepped into photography, there was no reverse gear. His personal projects pulse with intention. He shoots the kind of work he wants to see in the world, not just what the algorithm wants. That self-trust shows. His confidence is not loud, but it is steady. He commits to ideas, stretches his skill set, and executes with clarity.In this episode, we explore:• The power of networking and putting yourself in rooms that stretch you• Believing in your ability to the fullest and executing on ideas• Building a freelance career without burning yourself out• Creating balance so ambition does not outpace familyIf you are a freelance photographer, videographer, or someone hovering at the edge of creative risk, this conversation is for you.You can follow Morgan herehttps://www.instagram.com/morgan.xyz/Follow Open Shutter for future show announcements!https://www.instagram.com/openshutteryoutube/like and subscribe:)
