If you have ever battled with Imposter Syndrome, struggled to price your work or find your style then this episode is for you. This week Mike is joined by Jasmine Pollock, a photographer navigating the early stages of her career and carving out her place in the creative world. Jasmine’s story is about more than just photography, it’s about finding the courage to start, embracing uncertainty, and following a path that feels true, even when it’s unexpected.
We dive into Jasmine’s journey, starting with a birthday gift, a Polaroid camera, that sparked her love for photography. She shares how that small start led to buying second hand DSLRs, enrolling in a TAFE course, and discovering the joy of working with people through events and weddings. Along the way, we discuss the pressures and challenges of capturing life’s biggest moments, like weddings, and how she turns those nerves into creative energy.
Jasmine also opens up about the emotional side of her journey. The struggle to confidently call herself a photographer, her transition from studio setups to working with real people and dynamic settings & balancing a part-time job while building her photography business.
Whether you’re a seasoned photographer, a creative just starting out, or someone searching for the courage to pursue their dreams, this episode is packed with insights, inspiration, and a lot of heart.
