It’s a wild ride through genres, patience tests, and clever tricks—like stacking 8,000 images or turning insects into bug-actors in a "bug's life" panel that would make Pixar proud.You'll discover: how to shoot a panel of insects in roles ranging from chefs to pole dancers, the crazy patience needed for macro stacking (think hundreds of images with precision), and why experimenting across genres keeps your creative juices flowing rather than drying up in a typical nine-to-five grind. </p><p>Gemma shares her secret sauce—like leveraging project management skills to balance art and admin, and why photographers should embrace all facets of their craft, from wildlife to cityscapes and beyond.This episode is perfect for anyone feeling stuck in their style, tempted to try macro, or just curious about the weird, wonderful world behind the lens.
