#36 - How Jonah Atkins Went from Small-Town Photographer to Touring with Dan Mangan
Description
What happens when a film-obsessed photographer from Norfolk County DMs a Juno-winning musician...with nothing but passion and a camera?
In this episode, Jonah Atkins shares how a single message led to touring with Dan Mangan, why film photography still hits harder than digital, and what actually makes a good photo (hint: it’s not the gear).
We get deep into colour grading, creative burnout, awkward portrait poses, and how to carve out a lane in a noisy, over-filtered industry. If you’re a creative, filmmaker, photographer or just someone who’s trying to turn their passion into a career. This one’s for you.
🎞️ Topics Include:
Why film feels different
Touring with Dan Mangan
Creative ruts and switching it up
Gear myths and artistic honesty
