<p>In this episode of The Dare Photography Podcast, I dig into the connection between mental health and street photography—from raw self-doubt to waking up and potentially experiencing a healthier state of mind. I talk about the need to challenge ourselves, to step outside the groove of familiarity and to operate more fully in the now moment. This ain’t a polished self-help chat and still my hope is that it is useful. I talk from my experience hopefully without preaching. This is not about fixing anybody. People are fine as they are. They perhaps just need a little light to guide the way. </p><p><strong>YOUTUBE</strong></p><p>https://youtube.com/lashmar</p><p><strong>THE DARE PHOTOGRAPHY WHATSAPP COMMUNITY</strong></p><p>To gain entry to our WhatsApp community, contact Gary and Katie via the webpage:</p><p><a href="https://lashmarcreative.com/whatsapp" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Community Page Link</a></p><p><strong>WEBSITE</strong></p><p><a href="http://lashmarcreative.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">lashmarcreative.com</a></p><p><strong>INSTAGRAM</strong></p><p>• <strong>The Street Thief</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/the_street_thief/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Instagram</a></p><p>• <strong>Dare (idaretoshoot)</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/idaretoshoot" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Instagram</a></p><p><strong>THE INSPIRATION SHOT (weekly photography inspiration)</strong></p><p><a href="https://lashmarcreative.com/the-inspiration-shot" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Inspiration Shot</a></p><p><strong>ZINES</strong></p><p>The Way of the Street Photographer</p><p><a href="https://lashmarcreative.com/books-zines" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Books & Zines</a></p><p><strong>Music by Max Bianco</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/maxibianco" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Instagram</a></p><p>Thank you for SUBSCRIBING.</p><p>Lashmar (aka the Street Thief)</p><p>x.<br></p>

<p>In this episode I’m calling bullshit on the illusion of progress being sold to photographers everywhere. Street Photographers gain confidence through rigour - not comfort. </p><p>Confidence isn’t something you get—it’s something you do. And yet, the industry keeps pushing the idea that buying more gear, upgrading cameras, or chasing the latest lens will somehow make you brave, better, or bolder. It won’t.</p><p>This episode is a conversation about urgency, discomfort, and the real work behind building confidence—not only in street photography, but in life. You’ll hear thoughts on:</p><ul><li>Why gear gives you options but steals your edge</li><li>What real growth actually feels like (hint: it’s awkward)</li><li>Why legends like Moriyama, Vivian Maier, and Bruce Gilden did more with less</li><li>The creative fuel hidden inside constraint, chaos, and character</li><li>Why waiting for permission is the quickest way to kill your voice</li></ul><p>This is raw, real, and hopefully exactly the nudge you didn’t know you needed.</p><p>Listen. Feel. Share. And if it hits—subscribe, so I can keep creating more like it.</p><p><strong>INSTAGRAM</strong></p><p><strong>YOUTUBE</strong></p><p>https://youtube.com/lashmar</p><p><strong>THE DARE PHOTOGRAPHY WHATSAPP COMMUNITY</strong></p><p>To gain entry to our WhatsApp community, contact Gary and Katie via the webpage:</p><p><a href="https://lashmarcreative.com/whatsapp" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Community Page Link</a></p><p><strong>WEBSITE</strong></p><p><a href="http://lashmarcreative.com" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">lashmarcreative.com</a></p><p><strong>INSTAGRAM</strong></p><p>• <strong>The Street Thief</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/the_street_thief/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Instagram</a></p><p>• <strong>Dare (idaretoshoot)</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/idaretoshoot" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Instagram</a></p><p><strong>THE INSPIRATION SHOT (weekly photography inspiration)</strong></p><p><a href="https://lashmarcreative.com/the-inspiration-shot" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Inspiration Shot</a></p><p><strong>ZINES</strong></p><p>The Way of the Street Photographer</p><p><a href="https://lashmarcreative.com/books-zines" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Books & Zines</a></p><p><strong>Music by Max Bianco</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/maxibianco" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Instagram</a></p><p>Thank you for SUBSCRIBING.</p><p>Lashmar (aka the Street Thief)</p><p>x.</p><p>INSTAGARM</p><p><strong>EP 50 - Zoomento Unfiltered: Flash Street Portraits and the Death of Safe Photography</strong></p><p>🔗 Listen in full via bio link</p><p>with SPECIAL GUEST</p><p>Bold, flash-fuelled and 100% unfiltered—this episode we’re joined by the one and only @<strong>Zoomento</strong>: Paris-based, US-born flash street photographer and founder of the Street Badass community.</p><p>We talk about:</p><p>⚡️ Owning your space as a photographer</p><p>🔥 Breaking the rules with flash</p><p>🧠 Creative instincts & confronting the scene</p><p>🚫 Saying no to boring street photography</p><ul><li>#streetbadass</li><li>#idaretoshoot</li><li>#photographypodcast</li><li>#flashstreetphotography</li><li>#shootwithattitude</li><li>#creativephotographers</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Music by MAX BIANCO</p>

<p>For our 50th episode, we’re celebrating in proper Dare style—by kicking down the doors with none other than Zoomento, aka Todd Visser. Born in the States, blazing on the streets of Paris. Flashgun at the ready, Todd’s street portrait is bold, dynamic and heart-felt. Todd is also the founder of the Street Badass community and a walking rebellion against monotonous street photography. The perfect 50th anniversary guest. </p><p>In this raw and unfiltered convo, we talk creative instincts, bold aesthetics, and why flash street portraiture ain’t just a style—it’s a statement. We explore what it means to own your presence, to confront the scene, and to flip the script on what the so-called rules of street photography say you should be doing.</p><p>This one’s for the ones who refuse to blend in. Let’s go.</p><p><strong>ALL THINGS TODD</strong></p><p><strong>INSTAGRAM</strong></p><p><strong>Todd</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/zoomento" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/zoomento</a></p><p><strong>Street Badass</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/street_badass" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/street_badass</a></p><p><strong>COMING UP - LONDON STREET PHOTOGRAPHY FEST</strong></p><p><a href="http://www.streetbadass.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.streetbadass.com</a> </p><p><strong>NOTE - PARIS EXHIBITION / 16-20 APRIL PARIS</strong></p><p><strong>YOUTUBE</strong></p><p>https://youtube.com/lashmar</p><p><strong>THE DARE PHOTOGRAPHY WHATSAPP COMMUNITY</strong></p><p>To gain entry to our WhatsApp community, contact Gary and Katie via the webpage:</p><p><a href="https://lashmarcreative.com/whatsapp" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Community Page Link</a></p><p><strong>WEBSITE</strong></p><p><a href="http://lashmarcreative.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lashmarcreative.com</a></p><p><strong>INSTAGRAM</strong></p><p>• <strong>The Street Thief</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/the_street_thief/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p>• <strong>Dare (idaretoshoot)</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/idaretoshoot" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p><strong>THE INSPIRATION SHOT (weekly photography inspiration)</strong></p><p><a href="https://lashmarcreative.com/the-inspiration-shot" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Inspiration Shot</a></p><p><strong>ZINES</strong></p><p>The Way of the Street Photographer</p><p><a href="https://lashmarcreative.com/books-zines" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Books & Zines</a></p><p><strong>Music by Max Bianco</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/maxibianco" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p>Thank you for SUBSCRIBING.</p><p>Lashmar (aka the Street Thief)</p><p>x.</p>
