Valérie and guest co-host Debby Cole answer listener questions:

@steph_made_it: How do you stay motivated to go out and shoot with everything going on right now? How often do you go out and shoot recently?

@jsollows: How are you managing street photography in our socially distant world?

@muratoi: How are street photographers adapting under lockdown? Are you still shooting in City locations or are you finding alternatives in sub-urban or urban settings?

Guest Co-Host: Debby Cole

Deborah is a photographer, speaker and writer. With graduate degrees from Texas A&M University and Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest, she has over 35 years of success as an organizational leader, author and inspirational speaker.  

Whether growing her business to the top 25 list in the US in her industry, serving on boards or using her photography, writing and speaking to inspire and educate, Deborah is on a mission to tell the story of the beauty of the essential self.

She currently writes and provides images for Street Photography Magazine and Neighbors Magazine.

In this Episode…

Valérie and guest co-host Angelo Fernandes answer listener questions:

Debby on Instagram: “Suggestions for limited shooting opportunities for street photographers who don't really want to start photographing fruit in their kitchens?”

Mike on Instagram: “I was just thinking about this. Here’s my question. Valerie, in the past you have talked about taking up drawing. With everyone being confined and unable to hit the streets with their cameras, do you think now is the time to pursue other arts like drawing or painting?”

Guest Co-Host: Angelo Fernandes

Street Photographer based in Lisbon, Portugal. Angelo is also the owner of AFShoot, an online shop of premium camera straps and accessories.
