Episode 13 - For any household with Swifties, the number 13 has special meaning. So for this 13th episode of Photography is Nothing, Zach & Courtney invite their daughters to discuss the meaning and evolution of Taylor Swift's album art through the eras.As Taylor Swift worked her way from teen country artist to international pop phenomenon, her album photography changed, too. It's no surprise that while she was taking control of her music and image, she also played larger roles in the direction of her photography.Today, we'll go through the various photoshoots for her 12 albums and talk about how the photography reflects the mood and themes of the albums. We get into the photography of The Eras Tour as well.“Photography is nothing–it's life that interests me.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson Index0:00 - Taylor Swift Album Photography Intro2:32 - Our girls' favorite photos6:23 - Debut (2006) - 📷 Andrew Orth9:50 - Fearless (2008) -  📷 Joseph Anthony Baker, Ash Newell, and Sheryl Nields12:52 - What does Taylor's Version mean?15:40 - Fearless (Taylor's Version) - 📷 Beth Garrabrant17:23 - Speak Now (2010) -   📷 Joseph Anthony Baker19:41 - Speak Now (Taylor's Version) -  📷 Beth Garrabrant21:10 - Red (2012) -  📷 Lowfield*24:09 - Red (Taylor's Version) - 📷 Beth Garrabrant25:53 - 1989 (2014) - 📷 Lowfield30:45 - 1989 (Taylor's Version) -  📷 Beth Garrabrant32:21 - Reputation -  📷 Mert & Marcus**40:21 - Lover - 📷 Valheria Rocha46:02 - Folklore - 📷 Beth Garrabrant54:02 - Evermore - 📷 Beth Garrabrant56:54 - Midnights - 📷 Beth Garrabrant1:03:14 - The Tortured Poets Department - 📷 Beth Garrabrant1:07:20 - The Life of a Showgirl -  📷 Mert & Marcus1:15:55 - The Eras Tour Photography1:20:53 - The Eras Tour Indianapolis N2 Outfits1:24:00 - Did The Eras Tour photography capture the experience?1:25:04 - Zach's photos documenting outside The Eras Tour*Lowfield is the team of Sarah Barlow & Stephen Schofield** Mert & Marcus is the duo of Mert Alaş & Marcus PiggottFind ZachWebsite: https://zachdobson.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zachdobsonphoto/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zachdobsonphotoThreads: https://www.threads.com/@zachdobsonphotoFind CourtneyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/courtneymccracken_/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@happy_life_lessonsThreads: https://www.threads.com/@courtneymccracken_About the PodcastPhotography is Nothing with Zach Dobson and Courtney McCracken is a weekly conversation about photography and all its impact.
