Tap Into Your Photographic Instincts with Anna Harvingston

57 min • 6 april 2023

#361 Anna Harvingston is an Erie PA based documentary family photographer. Anna gets into her journey beginning with basics of photography like camera settings, taking portraits of her children, and how she experienced the difficult challenge of learning photography. She also talks about getting picked as one of the eight photographers chosen for Hulu's new photography competition show, Exposure.

THE BIG IDEAS

Trust Your Instincts: Following your gut can help you capture images that are meaningful and authentic—even under pressure or when conditions aren’t perfect.
Embrace Imperfection and Progress: Photography is a journey with ups and downs. Each “flawed” photo is a step forward in your creative growth.
Moments Matter More Than Settings: Don’t miss special memories by fixating on perfect settings. Make sure you document real life, even if it’s with your phone.
Stay Intentional, Not Overwhelmed: Focus on what draws you to a scene. Keep your intent clear so each shot has a purpose, not just technical perfection.
