In this episode, Creative Banter talks with Brandi Potter on her journey that led her to photography, her movement for business owners and photographers to be more ethical, and why educating is important to her.
Brandi is a wedding photographer from Kentucky, but soon moving to the West Coast, and she also educates in the photography world.
We talk:Leave No Trace (photographers: be more aware of respecting the environment!)
"I just want people to not be dicks. I would love if photographers would stop putting focus on epic shots because that's what's ruining the outdoors because they don't care about Leave No Trace." -Brandi
The many paths Brandi took throughout college before becoming a photographer The facade that being a photographer is glamorous. Because it's not. We talk the reality of it. Brandi boldly tells us what her favorite cuss word is and she admits what she would be doing if she wasn't a photographer.
"I like helping people and I didn't really have anyone helping me when I first started so I wanna be the person that I wish I would have had." -Brandi
"A lot of these educators don't care - they're in it for the money. After the workshop is done, they just cut people off. ...I don't want to be that person. I want people to have a safe space to grow and learn because I want everyone to be good at what they're doing and to feel confident and comfortable in their own business."
"Building a community of people that trust and love one another and want to see each other succeed is really important to me."
