About this listen

In this episode, I’m joined by my good friend and fellow Northern Michigan photographer Jessie Zevalkink. We dive into the theme of water - not just how to photograph it, but what it means as a creative metaphor. From calm lakes at sunset to unpredictable waves during body brave sessions, we explore how water shows up in our work, how it shapes our process, and how it teaches us to adapt.

Jessie also shares stories from her sailing adventures (including a full boat capsize!) and how being near, or in, water changes the energy of a shoot. We talk about the balance between movement and stillness, the gear we trust, the light we chase, and the quiet moments that anchor our best work.

Creative Prompt for This Episode:
Photograph water in any form, literal or abstract.
Think puddles, waves, bath time, rain, dew, even coffee or drinking glasses. Tag @ourphotoclub on Instagram or share in the Facebook group.
