Ep. 20 | Seeing and Being Seen — Finding Flow Through Photography With Ute Reckhorn
Summary
In this episode of Decoding the Flow, Drica Lobo sits down with photographer Ute Reckhorn, founder of California Lover, to explore photography as a practice of presence, authenticity, and creative consciousness.
Ute shares how she creates emotionally safe spaces for her subjects, why photography is about capturing feelings rather than images, and how light and color carry their own frequencies and emotional resonance.
Together, they discuss flow states in creative work, overcoming fear, and the importance of community in sustaining an artistic life. Ute also reflects on the role of intention, imperfection, and self-expression in both photography and life.
This conversation is a reminder that being seen is powerful — and that art begins with presence.
