Lucy Lumen's Podcast Adventure

I sat down with family film photographer Christen Peters for a chat about the moments she captures for Auckland families exclusively on film! Christen shares her process and some tips and tools that make her workflow smoother. We also discuss why switching to film has been the best decision for her both creatively   and as a parent to three kids! Huge thank you to Christen for coming on the show. Enjoy the chat.

For podcasting I recommend using a dynamic microphone as it will reject a lot of room sound and background noise. The most important part is to make sure you are as close as you can comfortably be. Using a pop filter can help reduce sibilance and plosives as well.

Cheap But Great Option
