  • Stop Thinking About It + Just Start | Creative Advice from Andreucci Design Studio
    Oct 2 2025

    Ever wondered how photographers can actually land work with design studios? 👀 I sat down with Charleston designer Amanda Andreucci to talk about building her studio, leading a creative team, tips for collaborating across industries, and even how she’s approaching AI. Quick, punchy, and packed with takeaways (plus it feels like a facetime date with two creatives).

  • i dropped out of college + american eagle reached out?! (ft joshua mannila)
    Sep 25 2025

    Joshua Mannila is a 21-year-old photographer known for his dreamy, cinematic style. In this episode we chat about how he went from shooting on an iPad mini to building a community of 200k+ followers, why he believes photography is 70% art and 30% business, and the wild opportunities that have come from putting his work online (including that time American Eagle slid into his DMs). We also dive into lens filters, posing, editing, and how to make your photos feel cinematic instead of just chasing a trend.
