Description

The fab Stephana Ferrell is my guest for episode 83 of the Podcast, and I absolutely loved talking to her! Based in the USA, Stephana is a brilliant documentary family photographer; she was ranked 6th in the US on This is Reportage: Family for 2020 (and joint-47th in the World), and she's won 6 Reportage Family Awards from us. She talks about one of those specific images on the episode today, along with so much more, including:

how and why she transitioned from weddings to families, vacation photography, what her 'last meal' would be, escape rooms, Disney, the business-side of what we do and being raised by a generation of entrepreneurs, our Netflix synopsis game, and so much more...

Head to https://thisisreportage.com/podcast-episode-83-this-is-stephana-ferrell/ for a link to her website, and to see the specific Reportage Family Award that she talks about on the episode too.

Before we get on to Stephana, today is a bit of a milestone for us, as it's the 1st Birthday of This is Reportage: Family! I personally can't believe it's been a year already since we launched our sister-site for documentary family photography - it honestly feels just like a month for me. It's been amazing to see hundreds of family photographers from literally all over the world join us; the talent out there is absolutely incredible, and it's been an honour to help shine some more light on this important and incredibly talented genre.
