<p>In a world where turning every passion into a side hustle is the norm, there’s something refreshing about keeping photography as a pure, unpressured hobby. In this episode, we dive into the freedom that comes with staying a hobbyist photographer—no client demands, no deadlines, just the sheer joy of capturing moments for yourself.</p> <p>We talk about how removing the pressure to monetize your work can actually lead to more creativity, experimentation, and personal fulfillment. Whether you’re someone who loves shooting for the fun of it or a pro who occasionally longs for the simpler days, this conversation is a reminder that photography doesn’t always have to be a business—it can just be a love that you nurture on your own terms.</p> <h2 id="h-support-the-nerdy-photographer">Episode Promos</h2> <p>This episode contains promos for:</p> <ul> <li>Elementor Wordpress Website Builder - <a href= "https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/elementor">https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/elementor</a></li> <li>Narrative AI Culling, Editing, and Publishing - <a href= "https://narrative.so/select?affiliate=casey2746">https://narrative.so/select?affiliate=casey2746</a></li> <li>Siteground Website Hosting - <a href= "https://www.siteground.com/go/nerdy">https://www.siteground.com/go/nerdy</a></li> </ul> <h2 id="h-support-the-nerdy-photographer">Support The Nerdy Photographer</h2> <p><!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Want to help The Nerdy Photographer Podcast?

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Let’s talk about failure. Whether it’s a botched shoot, a forgotten memory card, a client who wasn’t thrilled, or simply not nailing the vision you had in your head, failure is a part of the journey. But what if I told you it’s also one of the best teachers that you will ever have?</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, I speak with photographer JC Carey! We dive into the concept of “failing forward” and how learning from your mistakes can actually make you a stronger, more resilient photographer. We discuss real-life examples of photographic missteps, how to shift your mindset to view failure as a stepping stone rather than a setback, and practical tips for bouncing back when things don’t go as planned.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Failure isn’t the end—it’s just part of the process. So tune in, embrace the lessons, and discover how your mistakes can lead you to even greater success. After all, every shutter click (even the out-of-focus ones) is a step forward.</p> <h2 id="h-support-the-nerdy-photographer">Episode Promos</h2> <p><!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>This episode contains promos for the following:</p> <ul> <li>The Nerdy Photographer YouTube Channel - <a href= "https://youtube.com/@CaseyFatchett">https://youtube.com/@CaseyFatchett</a></li> <li>Narrative AI Photo Culling, Editing, and Publishing - <a href= "https://narrative.so/select?affiliate=casey2746">https://narrative.so/select?affiliate=casey2746</a></li> <li>Siteground Website Hosting - <a href= "https://siteground.com/go/nerdy">https://siteground.com/go/nerdy</a></li> </ul> <h2 id="h-support-the-nerdy-photographer">Support The Nerdy Photographer</h2> <p><!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Want to help The Nerdy Photographer Podcast?
