Your Exotic Everyday with Chloe Lodge (061)

Chloe Lodge is a wicked talented photographer, author of For the Love of the Photograph, and she’s our Intentional Documentary conversation today. 

We talk about: 

• Her story of globetrotting through the years — born in England, now living in NZ with various countries in between
• What happened when she started listening to herself and worrying less about what clients wants
• Looking for beauty in the everyday and what a childhood friend taught her about the meaning of “exotic”
• Her book — For the Love of the Photograph
• Lots of little convos around the topic of SEEING (how you see)
  

Enjoy the story… 

Quotes from Chloe:

“This is how I see the world. Why am I fighting it?”

“The way we see the world is just as beautiful as the next person. I want people to believe in that and have faith in the way they see it.”

“If nothing else, train yourself to see stuff.

Lines. The way colors interact with each other. Size and composition and contrast—dirty things, clean things, tall things & short things.

And, just nurture that, because when you go to take the pictures that really matter to you—it’s all there. It’s instinctive.”

“Your everyday is totally exotic to someone else.”

“What can I see today that’s made me fall in love with my life all over again?”

Listener Challenge from Chloe:

Spend a week noticing the world around you.

Notice the shadows, notice the light.
