The Personal Project Is Not Working for a Client by Definition

What a better way to wrap up our Year of Women Street Photographers than by having a chat with our friend Valérie Jardin. In this episode, we enjoyed a year-end catch up of sorts and talked about a few habits and goals that you may want to take into 2022 with you including:

• Purposeful limitation: Feel liberated with one camera and one focal length
• The importance of personal projects for the working photographer
• Getting your work seen
• Why every visual artist should write
• The importance of consistency in a body of work
