The Beginner Photography PodcastAbout this episode
#403 In this episode of the Beginner Photography Podcast, I chat with Megan Breukelman, a successful NYC wedding photographer and co-founder of a fashion magazine. Throughout the conversation, Megan shared valuable insights on turning passion projects into thriving businesses, the importance of seeking feedback, and the balancing act between technical skills and the creative aspects of photography. So, whether you're a budding photographer or looking to take your passion project to the next level, this episode is filled with practical advice and inspiration. Listen closely as Megan discusses building a community, marketing strategies, and embracing imperfection. Then, take action by implementing these lessons into your own photography journey. Remember, success comes with persistence, seeking feedback, and continuously improving your craft. THE BIG IDEAS Build Genuine Community Connections: Start sharing your work and engaging with like-minded creatives. Support from a community opens doors, offers critical feedback, and can lead to unexpected opportunities. Take Action—Don’t Wait for Perfect: You don’t need everything figured out to begin. Launch your passion project or portfolio now, then refine as you go. Imperfect action leads to real progress. Learn to Value Feedback and Critique: Constructive feedback—whether from peers or your audience—helps you grow, adapt, and create stronger, more meaningful work. Persistence Over Perfection: Success rarely comes overnight. Sustainable progress is built on consistent, small actions and a willingness to grow through challenges and setbacks.
