The Photography Community Can Be Weird Sometimes So Let's Talk About It.

In this inaugural episode of 'Between the Frames,' the host... Me, Josh introduces the podcast's mission to discuss photography and other creative outlets in an authentic, unfiltered way, going beyond gear and tutorials to focus on real experiences and challenges that artists face. The main topic is the toxicity within the photography community, including comparison culture, the obsession with gear, and clout chasing. The host shares personal stories and insights while also offering tips on how to focus on personal growth, curate your social media feed, find supportive community members, and detach from validation. The episode emphasizes the importance of enjoying photography for oneself rather than for social media approval.
