The decision to show up and be visible requires courage.

And often we get support from professionals like makeup artists, hairstylist, consultants, wardrobe stylists, and photographers in crafting how our public image is going to be witnessed and perceived.

But when we talk about visibility, we don't always think about the people behind the camera.

Photographer Shannon Collins joins India for a conversation about making the decision to get out from behind the camera, using their platform to address what matters, and how that has changed their life, their business and the lives of those around them.

In this discussion:

• The photography industry’s issues with marginalized groups, past and present
• How power shows up in photography, and who has an opportunity to tell their stories
• Why capturing joy is an act of rebellion and resistance
• How Shannon mixes visibility and vulnerability with their business
