Turning Passion Into a Profession with Adventure Photographer Cody Shimizu | Ep. 38

from Plan To Endure

In this episode, I sit down with Cody Shimizu, a local adventure photographer and filmmaker, to unpack what it really takes to turn passion into a sustainable creative career. We talk about his early days in Edmonton, discovering climbing and mountain biking, and the move to Canmore that changed everything. Cody shares how understanding the sport shaped his photography, the challenges of freelancing, the pressure of social media, and the shift from stills to documentary filmmaking. It’s an honest conversation about risk, growth, uncertainty, and learning how to build meaningful work without losing the love for it.Follow Cody:Instagram - @shimizuimgWebsite: www.codyshimizu.com-Contact Me: www.plantoendure.comInstagram: @plan.to.endure Hosted on Acast.
