In this episode photographer Kristina Kulakova shares her journey into still-life and commercial photography, reflecting on the role of art, inspiration, and identity in the creative process.

We talk about the challenges of building a sustainable creative career, the importance of patience and experience and how creativity is closely tied to emotional growth. Kristina opens up about dealing with impostor syndrome, the pressures of visual oversaturation, and why hobbies and resilience matter for long-term creative work.

We also explore the future of photography, the balance between ambition and self-care and why art remains a universal language in an increasingly fast-paced world.
