We’re back after a whirlwind few weeks—and this one’s all about the chaos behind the camera and in life. From botched gear setups to moving apartments and planning weddings, we’re catching you up and diving deep into what it really takes to keep going as creatives.After addressing some not-so-original critiques of our podcast gear (you tried), we break down a recent filming fail that taught us a lot about exposure, color balance, and why double-checking your camera settings matters more than you think. Then it’s onto real life: moving headaches, wedding planning madness, and what adulthood actually looks like when you’re juggling creative work, bills, and everything in between.We also talk candidly about the creative grind—why communication and problem-solving are the unsung heroes of success, how privilege shapes opportunity, and why we’re looking to bring on guests who can speak to the hustle without a safety net. It’s part personal update, part industry reflection, and all about showing up—even when it’s messy.Whether you're new to the creative field or in the thick of it, this episode is full of lessons, laughs, and some solid reminders that nobody’s got it all figured out.🔗 Website: [https://www.cortandluke.com](https://www.cortandluke.com)📸 Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/cortandluke](https://www.instagram.com/cortandluke)🎬 TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@cortandluke?\_t=8r93xifpxqy&\_r=1](https://www.tiktok.com/@cortandluke?_t=8r93xifpxqy&_r=1)Hosted by: Luke Montgomery and Cort Letcher#photographypodcast #creativehustle #cameraequipment #contentcreation #selfemployedlife #creativejourney #adultingrealness #weddingplanning #gearfail #communityovercompetition #photographytips #growthmindset
