Nicole Plett: Power of Intuitive Artistry

In this grounded and thought-provoking conversation, New York–based wedding photographer Nicole Plett invites us into her world of film, intuition, solo travel, and redefining creative success. Known for her analog, documentary approach to storytelling, Nicole shares how living in New York has expanded her artistic voice, why travel continues to shape her perspective, and how she is actively unlearning the belief that creativity must always lead to productivity. From the tension between ambition and slowness, to shooting weddings with soul and imperfection, this episode is a beautiful reminder that art doesn’t need permission — only presence, curiosity, and courage.

Solo travel is a catalyst for artistic growth — being unknown in a new place allows you to rediscover who you are. Film’s limitations are a gift — constraint forces problem-solving, presence, and intentional storytelling. Burnout changes how we say yes — protecting capacity isn’t just for ourselves, but for the people we love. Not all art needs a result — creating without a plan, product, or outcome is a radical act of joy. Curation shapes opportunity — what we share publicly influences the work we attract. Community fuels longevity — mentorship, creative friendships, and in-person relationships matter. Success is not always speed — slower seasons can deepen purpose and strengthen our artistic voice.
