Nicole Young, an amateur photographer recently back in the U.S. after living in Taiwan for three and a half years, joins this episode to discuss her experiences with street photography abroad and her newfound passion for underwater photography. We also dive into my decision to purchase the Ricoh GR3, exploring how using a crop sensor camera instead of a full-frame can lead to more candid, spontaneous shots.

Of course, as the title suggests, we chat about an online photography class we both took with YouTuber Pierre Lambert, where we learned a ton and forged new friendships. Whether you’re intrigued by Taiwan’s vibrant streets, the world beneath the waves, or the benefits of a compact camera system, this conversation is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

We’re hosting a free live online town hall on September 10th at 7 p.m. ET. We’ll be talking photography, reviewing member photos, and answering your questions live. It’s a great way to learn, connect, and be part of the Big Photo Hunt community. It's free and everyone's welcome but an RSVP is required. 

The Big Photo Hunt’s mission is simple: to help us all grow together as photographers. We’ve got a new set of tools coming soon — built specifically for us as amateur and hobbyist photographers. Make sure you’re on the list for the beta so you can be the first to try them.
