328: Xuan-Hui Ng - Healing Grief Through Nature Photography and the Power of Mentorship


Listen Later

Photography has the ability to heal. It can help us process grief, learn to be better humans, and grow a wonderful relationship with nature. Mentorship with a caring mentor can help us to develop these benefits, and this one of the reasons this week's guest of the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen Podcast, Xuan-Hui Ng, has been able to make such evocative and interesting work.

On this week's episode, we discuss:

  • How Xuan got her start in photography.
  • How Xuan has rediscovered herself by photographing the landscapes of Japan.
  • How photography has become a vehicle to help her process grief.
  • How she is able to photograph ephemeral moments.
  • Learning about the landscapes of Japan.
  • Xuan's secrets to launching her successful career in photography.
  • How nature photography has enhanced her life.
  • How Xuan works in projects.
  • The power of mentorship and how it helped her elevate her work.
  • And a lot more!
