Welcome back to The Dare Photography Podcast. Today’s episode is for the ones getting in their own way—the ones who know too much, think too much, and feel stuck because they’ve forgotten how it felt to be new.

We’re talking about beginner’s mind—why it’s not just for rookies, but the key to staying alive creatively. We’ll unpack why the most dangerous thing in photography isn’t failure—it’s comfort. Why chasing connection in the moment can be a trap. Why fear doesn’t need fixing—it needs honouring. And why the best images often speak to you long after you’ve shot them.

If you’re out there overthinking every shot, waiting for confidence, chasing gear, chasing perfection—this one’s for you. Strip it back. Remember how you saw everything when you started. That’s the power we’re trying to reclaim.

So let’s get into it. No fluff. No filters. Just truth.
