34: This is Kim Hart Fotografie

Delighted to be talking to the fab Kim Hart Fotografie for today's episode. Kim is based in Holland, has won 7 Reportage Awards from us, and was just so lovely to talk to - she shares so much great advice and thoughts here. My eight year old daughter was listening to me working on this episode and she said 'wow, she's so inspiring!', and I totally agree. Stick with us today as Kim shares all about: • life in the pandemic and home-schooling her girls, • the story behind one of her specific Reportage Awards, • her soft-spot for the elderly, • why she's particularly drawn to black and white, • how she came to be a wedding photographer, • her first paid wedding, • what success means to her, • how she does her family photography, • the specifics of her she mentors or coaches, • the importance of conferences and meeting people, • McDonald's ;) • why she personally enters awards, • her top tips for better documentary captures, • advice for just starting out, • a certain image that has had a particular impact on her, • and much more...
