Meaningful Roots with Courtney Holmes (066)
If you’ve ever realized how you can document the most high value, unique to you, most meaningful bits of your life—and your clients’ lives—(i.e. not only the real life, random moments that tie us all together) and THAT truth created a fire within… then you’ll love this episode!
Courtney Holmes is a photographer, filmmaker and Founder of the Filming Life Academy. She’s taught her own class, Filming Families: The Modern Family Video, on CreativeLive and speaks frequently among many conferences and events in the photography community. She’s consistently booked out with her clients as well.
For a long time, our approaches created this internal battle around being “documentary enough” with our peers and ourselves. We spill everything we’ve felt on this ride over the past few years in hopes to help YOU feel enough with your documentary approach… whatever that looks like.
Enjoy the story.
HOMEWORK:
Take a break from social media this week and assess the stories of your life.
Make a timeline.
Look for the tiny stories that changed and shaped you into who you are today.
Look at the seasons you’ve lived.
Look at what’s coming up as a “last” in the near future.
Start there.
Start with observation, move to the documenting later.
