Photographic Connections – Series Three Is Here!02 Mar 202600:02:34

Send us Fan Mail

Welcome back to Photographic Connections with Kim Grant.

After some time away from the microphone, the podcast returns for a third series and this one brings something a little different.

What’s New in Series Three?

This season features an eight-part series of conversations, but instead of interviewing well-known photographers, Kim sits down with eight of her own clients.

Over the winter months, Kim hosted a three-and-a-half-month online community experience called the Winter Wellness Club — a space dedicated to mindful photography during the darkest (and often hardest) months of the year. Through this experience, she reconnected with long-time clients and built meaningful relationships with new ones.

One thing became clear: everyone has a story to tell.

And many of the most inspiring photographic journeys come from everyday people who have discovered what owning a camera helps them see, feel, and experience.

What You Can Expect?

Across the next eight episodes, you’ll hear:

  • How each guest first discovered photography
  • What inspires them to pick up their camera
  • What they most enjoy photographing
  • How photography shapes the way they see the world
  • The impact mindful photography has had on their wellbeing and personal journey

At the end of every episode, each guest shares practical exercises, techniques, or advice, so you won’t just be inspired, you’ll walk away with ideas to try yourself.

Why This Series Matters

Photography isn’t just about technical skill or recognition. It’s about connection — to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us.

This series is a reminder that meaningful creative journeys belong to all of us.
