Making the Move From Scientist to Full-Time Professional Conservation Photographer with Luciane Coletti - a podcast by Jaymi Heimbuch - Conservation Photographer | Founder, Wild Idea Lab | Co-Creator, Her Wild Vision Initiative
from 2021-02-23T03:00
#064: It's a fairly common thing to meet scientists, biologists researchers who have decided that where their real passion lies is not necessarily in doing science, but in documenting science and communicating it.
Where they really want to get going is inside of conservation visual storytelling and sharing the information, the excitement, the details of science through photography and filmmaking. And that's exactly what happened with my guest today.
Luciane Colletti is a biologist turned full-time conservation photographer, and she's joining us today to talk about what that transition was like, how life has been in the year or so since moving full-time into conservation photography, the lessons she's learned and the advice that she has for any other scientists, researchers, biologists, who have also realized that they want to make that same change.
You'll Learn
- Why Luciane made the switch
- The big mental shift that helped her overcome self-doubt
- The surprising realities of life as a professional photographer
- Where she looked for help in navigating her start-up
- Her top tips for other scientists who want to make the transition to visual storytelling
