  • Lyndon Norman (@lyndonswildphotos) is a wildlife and nature photographer from Alberta, Canada. She has a genuine passion for ethical wildlife and nature photography, and prioritizes unique perspectives and the safety of animals.

    Social media, we all know, is a mess. Anxiety, harmful comparison, grinding until we burnout, feeling like we need to feed the machine. Sometimes we may find ourselves wondering why we started our photography journey in the first place. Thankfully in this episode with Lyndon, we talk about practicing photography simply in the pursuit of happiness rather than achievement. We also describe ways to fulfill our need to create art without worrying about content metrics, insights, and performance constantly.

    Expect to learn how to get back to your "why" for photography, how to realize that "more" isn't always better than "enough", why you shouldn't be glued to your social media insights, and how to ensure you're making photos that you love and not what just feeds the algorithm.

  • In this episode we're joined by Taryn McCabe (@tmcc_photography). Taryn first joined us last year on our 2023 TPM Retreat with extremely little knowledge of photography. In less than a year, she's gone from complete beginner to someone booking over a dozen clients. We have her on to get her perspective on how she's been able to generate business for herself with limited experience, limited portfolio, and small follower count. Taryn also helps generate and create the short video reels for TPM on our social media pages.
