Episode Overview

How do you create portraits that feel more like stories than snapshots?

In this episode of Generator, I sit down with Judith Hill, a fine art portrait photographer based in Nashville, whose work is filled with texture, emotion, and intention. Judith has built a style that slows everything down, where connection is the point, not the afterthought. We talk about how she went from second-guessing herself to directing shoots with clarity and confidence.

Judith opens up about the importance of creative direction, trusting her gut, and why her best work happens when she stops trying to chase the "right" way of doing things. This conversation is about staying curious, letting the process evolve, and making space for the work to breathe.
