Description

On this episode, I’m sharing my conversation with Chris Orwig. Chris is the playful father of three girls, photographer, author and teacher. He recently taught a class on Creative Live titled - Capturing Authentic Photos of Children & Families. He’s the author of many books including The Creative Fight, Visual Poetry and People Pictures. On today’s show, Chris shares how a massive hard drive failure showed him how important his family photos were to him. Chris talks about an exercise to help us slow down with our cameras and just use one button. A listener asks if Chris has a good photo of each of his family members and if he doesn’t  - does he have the same pit in his stomach she has when she thinks about the photo that doesn’t yet exist of that person? A few other things we talk about are being present as parents and photographers, insurance and the idea of luck. Chris's Tedx talk: http://chrisorwig.com/tedx/ http://thefamilyphotographer.org

Your friends and family expect you to bring your camera to birthday parties and holiday dinners. You pick up your camera before the broom when your kids spill flour all over the kitchen floor. You're the family photographer. Every other week, I share my conversations with photographers about their work and their families. How can we take better photos of our family life? Why are we taking all these photos in the first place?
