25. Why I Photograph My Own Source Material
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
As a collage artist and photographer, I’ve always been inspired by my ordinary surroundings—my home, nature, city streets, the quiet moments I see through the frame of my 35mm camera lens. In this episode, I share why I only use my own photography in my collages, how that decision shapes my creative process, and what it means to build art entirely from my lived experience.
This conversation isn’t about rejecting found imagery—it’s about discovering what makes your creative voice feel most authentic. If you’ve ever questioned your materials or the sources behind your work, this episode will give you a new way to think about artistic integrity, intimacy, alignment, and connection.
