In this episode of the SheClicks Women in Photography Podcast, Angela Nicholson speaks with adventure photographer and filmmaker Grace Taylorson Smith Pritchard (AKA Grace T.S.P) about building a photography career by following what you genuinely love.

Grace’s route into photography wasn’t straightforward. With a background in law and marine biology, she didn’t begin with a clear plan to work in the creative industry. Instead, it was through travel, scuba diving and documenting her experiences that she picked up a camera and started to explore photography more seriously.

What makes Grace’s story so relatable is that she didn’t try to force a niche. Instead, she photographed the things she already loved, including climbing, mountain biking and outdoor adventure. That authenticity naturally led to opportunities, from editorial features in adventure magazines to commercial photography work with outdoor brands.

In this conversation, Grace shares what it really takes to work as an adventure photographer. From shooting in extreme environments to managing the physical demands of working in the mountains, she explains why skills, preparation and experience are just as important as creativity.

Angela and Grace also discuss the balance between still photography and filmmaking, how personal projects can lead to paid work and why changing camera systems helped her rediscover her creative spark.

This episode is a great listen for anyone looking to build a photography career in a way that feels true to them. Grace’s journey is a reminder that you don’t need a traditional path. Sometimes the best way forward is simply to start by photographing what you love most.
