Description

In this episode, Nicole sits down with photographer Molly Matalon to explore the ever-evolving journey of being an artist, from film and scanning to creative process, identity, and growth, offering listeners an honest and inspiring look at how to develop your voice, embrace change, and keep showing up to the work. Key Takeaways Art is a puzzle, not a formula Molly shares how every shoot, whether editorial, commercial, or personal, is an opportunity to “answer the assignment” in a new way. Process shapes your voice From shooting film to scanning every frame herself, Molly’s intentional process is deeply tied to the look and feeling of her work. There is no single path into photography Her journey from art school to shooting for major publications shows how nonlinear creative careers can be. You are allowed to evolve Growth, change, and even discomfort are essential parts of becoming the artist you’re meant to be. Tools matter, but vision matters more Cameras, film, and techniques are just tools. What truly matters is how and why you use them. Rejection is part of the process Building a career often comes down to putting yourself out there, again and again, despite uncertainty. Creativity thrives in curiosity Molly emphasizes staying open, experimenting, and continuing to learn as a lifelong practice. Your environment shapes your work Where you live, how you live, and what you consume all influence what you create. Loved this conversation?
