<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Let’s talk about failure. Whether it’s a botched shoot, a forgotten memory card, a client who wasn’t thrilled, or simply not nailing the vision you had in your head, failure is a part of the journey. But what if I told you it’s also one of the best teachers that you will ever have?</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, I speak with photographer JC Carey! We dive into the concept of “failing forward” and how learning from your mistakes can actually make you a stronger, more resilient photographer. We discuss real-life examples of photographic missteps, how to shift your mindset to view failure as a stepping stone rather than a setback, and practical tips for bouncing back when things don’t go as planned.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Failure isn’t the end—it’s just part of the process. So tune in, embrace the lessons, and discover how your mistakes can lead you to even greater success. After all, every shutter click (even the out-of-focus ones) is a step forward.</p> <h2 id="h-support-the-nerdy-photographer">Episode Promos</h2> <p><!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>This episode contains promos for the following:</p> <ul> <li>The Nerdy Photographer YouTube Channel - <a href= "https://youtube.com/@CaseyFatchett">https://youtube.com/@CaseyFatchett</a></li> <li>Narrative AI Photo Culling, Editing, and Publishing - <a href= "https://narrative.so/select?affiliate=casey2746">https://narrative.so/select?affiliate=casey2746</a></li> <li>Siteground Website Hosting - <a href= "https://siteground.com/go/nerdy">https://siteground.com/go/nerdy</a></li> </ul> <h2 id="h-support-the-nerdy-photographer">Support The Nerdy Photographer</h2> <p><!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Want to help The Nerdy Photographer Podcast?
