Description

Mary Caroline Russell is an entertainment photographer who started shooting with disposable cameras ten years ago while living in a small Texas town. Now she travels the world with musicians on tours.

She shares with us how she built this career without knowing it was even an option, how she got her start back in those myspace days, and why handling each job with care makes a difference.

We discuss why knowing your gear well is better than having all the gear, what tour life and being around people 24/7 is really like, and the importance of having community and surrounding yourself with people who will tell you the truth.

MC describes the trickiness that is having creativity as a profession and what it's really been like as a female in the industry. Lastly, she gets really honest about taking things one day at a time as a freelancer and how to trust your gut and core values, even when there are well-intentioned naysayers.
