Photography has the power to capture more than just moments - it can preserve cultures, tell untold stories, and honor traditions. In this episode, we’re joined by an indigenous photographer who shares how they use their camera to document and preserve their community’s rich cultural heritage.
Through their lens, we learn how photography becomes an act of cultural preservation, combating misrepresentation, and giving voice to communities that have been marginalized. We also explore the personal journey of balancing respect for tradition with the creative freedom of storytelling.
