Emily Tidwell (she/her) is a freelance adventure photographer whose event and campaign photography can be seen in partnership with brands like Red Bull, Patagonia, and Palisades Tahoe.

• How she got her start as a freelance ski photographer and what it took to build her name in the skiing industry
• What it means to have the courage to show up as yourself
• Reclaiming the parts of you you've abandoned to "make it"
• Living off the highs and lows of freelancing and why it's a recipe for burnout
• Learning to take feedback to grow
• Success as she defines it now
• And more generally, how to avoid burnout as a freelancer
