Speaker:

Hope you enjoyed this interview I certainly did.

Speaker:

Please welcome to the show.

Speaker:

Claudia Goetzelmann.

Speaker:

Great to have you on the show, Claudia and I'm look since I've

Speaker:

already introduced you a little bit.

Speaker:

what's something that not many people may not know about.

Speaker:

It what's something that is not, was not part of your

Speaker:

intro that I haven't, you know,

Speaker:

I lived in Africa for two and a half years.

Speaker:

I learned some in Nigeria and I learned how to speak Arabic for, for a year,

Speaker:

but don't quote me on the spot on that, because that I've definitely forgotten

Speaker:

a long time ago.

Speaker:

That's fair enough.

Speaker:

That's fair.

Speaker:

All right.

Speaker:

Let me give you some easy questions.

Speaker:

Just get to get things started here.

Speaker:

what, what compelled you to become a photographer in advertising?

Speaker:

I think was always in my genes, that curiosity, I am an extremely

Speaker:

curious person and I valued that.

Speaker:

and characteristic trait, I would say in me maybe more now, more than

Speaker:

ever, because I'm really aware of it.

Speaker:

Pat curiosities is a life force and so curiosity.

Speaker:

Oh, like the ring, my environment, looking into my environment

Speaker:

and then having a camera.

Speaker:

And I think it's third when I was four years old, I got my first camera and yeah.

Speaker:

And what does that, what does it, what does that mean for you when you,

Speaker:

when you, you know, when you press that shutter, what does that mean?

Speaker:

The whole, you know, the whole experience of taking a photo.

Speaker:

Cause for some, it might just be okay, well, I just need to take a photo.

Speaker:

I'll press this.

Speaker:

And this happens and I get a photo.

Speaker:

Do you see, do you feel more about that then, then just simple

Speaker:

action of precedent, the show.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I mean, so my logo on my company logo was for a long time.

Speaker:

it's an old towel sign and it's an, I was ju legs.

Speaker:

It's, you know, it's like an eye you're drawn eye, and then you have like,

Speaker:

almost like a tripod on the bottom, and it's basically an eye and a person was

Speaker:

the legs or my camera and the tripod.

Speaker:

And it says, when you take the towel nation, without observation,

Speaker:

learning is impossible.

Speaker:

It's not observational.

Speaker:

Learning is impossible.

Speaker:

And to me that's actually that's that because, you know, even if

Speaker:

I take a landscape or I assume into something detailed, there is

Speaker:

this, there's something we learn.

Speaker:

We take in, we look deeply.

Speaker:

And that's, again, just this curiosity always been with me.

Speaker:

And then when I went in my work, when I take pictures for jobs and

Speaker:

it's either fashion or, you know, I did a lot of different things.

Speaker:

annual reports I did in Singapore for many years and photographed a lot of CEOs.

Speaker:

There's this connection you have to make.

Speaker:

And then you have to establish a trust.

Speaker:

You have to get curious about the person you have in front of you.

Speaker:

Like even we, you know, I look at you and we have to sort of, we

Speaker:

have to connect and we establish.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

And so I that's what that means.

Speaker:

It is, it is, it is that connection is important to build that, build that,

Speaker:

and have that same sort of get on that same wavelength, especially when

Speaker:

it counts to having a conversation.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

And we are about to have a good conversation for at a solid hour.

Speaker:

Cause I'm very curious about everything that you do and I'm sure a lot of

Speaker:

listeners are, are curious as well.

Speaker:

as, as far as curiosity, you mentioned curiosity, I think that's, that is an

Speaker:

important topic in itself because that's something as a, as babies, when we were

Speaker:

little, we all very curious, right.

Speaker:

And then something happens in our life and then for some it's

Speaker:

stays it's with them and then.

Speaker:

For other people, it sort of dissipates.

Speaker:

And then they sort of get into, you know, the regular sort of constraints

Speaker:

of the system and just, you know, and they're just being told how they

Speaker:

should live and they just follow that path and they never really deviate.

Speaker:

So it's interesting.

Speaker:

It would be an interesting topic in itself to, to to talk about.

Speaker:

And, and, and what, you know, what are the differences between these people?

Speaker:

What happens?

Speaker:

Cause I, I certainly think that the, the first option it's better for a

Speaker:

human being, like not being constrained because when you're allowed to be

Speaker:

creative and when you're allowed to keep on observing that's when the creative

Speaker:

creative ideas come out of rather than just following blindly, right.

Speaker:

And obviously you're a very creative person yourself, otherwise you

Speaker:

wouldn't be doing such an amazing work.

Speaker:

I looked at your website, those photos all the fashion photos.

Speaker:

They look amazing by the way.

Speaker:

Thanks.

Speaker:

Now, let's talk about your career a little bit.

Speaker:

I'm stick to career or just a little bit, because we might have some listeners

Speaker:

they're interested in, in that part.

Speaker:

And then I dunno, you know, talk a bit more, maybe a little bit

Speaker:

technical as well, and then we'll jump into some personal deep question

Speaker:

to get to the bottom of everything.

Speaker:

So, what is that lifestyle?

Speaker:

what is the lifestyle like lifestyle of a photographer?

Speaker:

Do you travel a lot?

Speaker:

Obviously?

Speaker:

Not now, but under normal circumstances.

Speaker:

yeah, I have asked and I will hopefully again you know, I go anywhere.

Speaker:

I, I, I love the world and it's, it's, I guess it's a set up.

Speaker:

I mean, how do you set up your business?

Speaker:

Right?

Speaker:

It's I chose to not own a studio.

Speaker:

I just rent a studio if I need it, because I have so many different

Speaker:

jobs, whatever comes to me.

Speaker:

It's, you know, there's small studios, big studios, they like non location.

Speaker:

So I don't want to have a big overhead I'd rather want to be free to go places.

Speaker:

And, and then wherever my job takes me, I, I rent everything.

Speaker:

That obviously gives you that flexibility.

Speaker:

And I think that fits fits your fits your, you know, who you are as a human being,

Speaker:

you know, I can tell you're very creative.

Speaker:

So I think that gives you that freedom to, to choose where you want to go and

Speaker:

moving places, traveling the world.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

That's awesome.

Speaker:

That's awesome.

Speaker:

Now tell us about the moments when you started to see success

Speaker:

in you or a photography business.

Speaker:

When you started to get some big gigs, when you started to actually earn income

Speaker:

that, you know, support you and, and all the other things that go around it,

Speaker:

what, how did that impact your lifestyle?

Speaker:

Well, I think I'm an artist, right?

Speaker:

So you never know what's happened.

Speaker:

What happens.

Speaker:

Jobs come jobs go.

Speaker:

I don't, I'm not on a salary.

Speaker:

I really have to trust that there's always work.

Speaker:

I mean, as a photographer, it, you must wear a lot of different pants.

Speaker:

you're not just the photographer, but you also, your accounting,

Speaker:

your marketing expert, actually.

Speaker:

So all of those things have to align in order to push you forward

Speaker:

into that so-called success.

Speaker:

it's very humble.

Speaker:

You have to, I mean, I can tell you, I started in Singapore.

Speaker:

I mean, I lived in Africa.

Speaker:

I did a lot of tribal I took portraits of tribes, then I had an exhibited.

Speaker:

stock exchange in Munich and Nigerian ambassador came.

Speaker:

So is that success?

Speaker:

It was one form of success.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

Then I moved.

Speaker:

Then I moved through Indonesia and I took a lot of pictures of resorts

Speaker:

and it was travel photography, which was published in magazines.

Speaker:

And then I moved to Singapore, which is a banking city and so business oriented.

Speaker:

So from there, I, I ran really deep into annual reports because at that

Speaker:

time there was still, I mean, so much portraiture was needed for

Speaker:

these four or what annual report.

Speaker:

and that's sort of shifted my life.

Speaker:

I would say.

Speaker:

when I started in Singapore was teaching German at a Goethe Institute of was

Speaker:

really, you know, had to balance that.

Speaker:

My dream versus the money I needed for living.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

And then I bought and it shifted more and more and more.

Speaker:

So I think that was because you asked me what was the first time where I felt like

Speaker:

I'm making a living as a photographer and that was then, in Singapore.

Speaker:

And how did

Speaker:

that feel when you finally were fully riding on what you truly enjoyed doing?

Speaker:

How, how has that, how did that feel?

Speaker:

Oh my god, I actually remember the feeling.

Speaker:

I was so proud of myself and I think I did a little dance when

Speaker:

I put the check into the bank.

Speaker:

That's awesome.

Speaker:

Another another powerful moment was when I moved to the US and I, so I

Speaker:

lived in Singapore for six and a half years, and then I was like, okay.

Speaker:

I mean, my travel book, my sense of adventure and like

Speaker:

what, just something out.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

America, the ultimate dream, I am going to move to America.

Speaker:

And so I did it and I got a visa for special talent meaning and as

Speaker:

an artist visa, as a photographer.

Speaker:

And I remember when I got the visa, that was a big feeling

Speaker:

of accomplishment and success.

Speaker:

And is that

Speaker:

when you started to get into more advertising photography, when

Speaker:

you moved to America, because up until then was what he said.

Speaker:

You said tribal taking tribal, taken tourism was in Singapore

Speaker:

and then, sorry, not Singapore.

Speaker:

The tourism stuff was in Indonesia.

Speaker:

That's right.

Speaker:

And then Singapore was more business world.

Speaker:

So CEOs for their annual reports.

Speaker:

So when you moved to America, is that when you, yeah.

Speaker:

When you started to get into advertising,

Speaker:

I already did some advertising work when I was in Singapore.

Speaker:

So then it sort of more of more, I think it's interesting when you move

Speaker:

to a bigger market, you know, Singapore is a small market and you as investor

Speaker:

gnosis or expatriate, so to say, go fish.

Speaker:

And then I moved to the US and people because it's a huge market,

Speaker:

you need to be put into categories.

Speaker:

So I had to sort of define myself, because in Singapore I was shooting

Speaker:

this and that and this and that.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Just because I knew a lot of people I got, there was different

Speaker:

opportunity, but in America it was new.

Speaker:

And I had to define myself, which was really interesting exercise in

Speaker:

hindsight, define and narrow down your, your business skills then yes, it

Speaker:

went into advertising and then fashion

Speaker:

Because as you say, you had, you had to define yourself, I guess that's,

Speaker:

that's relevant to market, right?

Speaker:

If there's a lot of opportunity, a lot of options, there's a

Speaker:

lot of competition, a lot of photographers in America than you do.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

You have to have a bit more of a niche.

Speaker:

Otherwise you're just going to be another, another fish in a big

Speaker:

point, and nobody will notice you.

Speaker:

Whereas maybe when you were in Singapore, there weren't that many comp competition

Speaker:

and, and what are some of the things that when it comes to advertising photography

Speaker:

that not many people know about, I asked because, you know, we might have some

Speaker:

sales and marketing oriented people and I'm listening and I'm, and this might be

Speaker:

helpful to, to unpack a bit more for them.

Speaker:

Well, so, it's, it's it's a big thing.

Speaker:

So let's say you have a brand and you want to.

Speaker:

Wow.

Speaker:

When you campaign for your product.

Speaker:

And so you call in either you, if you're really big, you probably have advertising

Speaker:

agency on hand or a design company.

Speaker:

And then the gather you do, you know, the art director, marketing person

Speaker:

are thinking about the concepts and then the concepts are brew.

Speaker:

And then the visual aspect is called in.

Speaker:

So who is the right photographer who execute his idea?

Speaker:

And it's again, it's, it's not a very competitive market as a

Speaker:

lot of photographers and there's certainly books are called in three,

Speaker:

three people or five people get to put out a bit what is for a job.

Speaker:

And then it comes either down to style or money.

Speaker:

. Right.

Speaker:

And then it's, you know, also my, I have to think, I put my crew together.

Speaker:

It's, I'd say you have a product and we're going on location.

Speaker:

We need models.

Speaker:

We need stylists.

Speaker:

We need props.

Speaker:

We need hair and makeup.

Speaker:

We need permits in order to shoot on whatever day days.

Speaker:

is there foot traffic, the weather the lights.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

I need in order to give it a look I want.

Speaker:

The retouching, to post-production.

Speaker:

It's a lot of collaboration.

Speaker:

And so I find it amazing when I get a project because it's a dress sing again.

Speaker:

And, you know, I'm dressed to execute his idea together with everybody else.

Speaker:

And I like to say, it's basically we're giving bursts together.

Speaker:

So I have to be very, very organized, really detail oriented.

Speaker:

But at the same time, I have to allow myself to give this space and a day off

Speaker:

the shoot, where the magic can happen.

Speaker:

When a magic can really truly happen, where, you know, we're all so organized.

Speaker:

We're all together.

Speaker:

We're all here with our expertise and then we let go.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

which is, yeah.

Speaker:

And that's when magic happens.

Speaker:

But if I haven't stuck to this idea, And maybe the model is a little bit

Speaker:

different or, you know, sinks always, there's always some unexpected factors

Speaker:

or there's always something w is maybe not working out or is it a surprise?

Speaker:

We have to always be very, very flexible, but that's when you really

Speaker:

let it go and you just go into your play mode, your inner child curiosity,

Speaker:

and also take everybody along with it.

Speaker:

And that's when I think when everybody can come along on this ride and

Speaker:

then that's when beautiful pictures.

Speaker:

Awesome.

Speaker:

So, so big takeaway point from this is I guess, and this is relevant

Speaker:

to, to anything, whether it's, you know, preparing for photography

Speaker:

for a big project or it's, you know, preparing building plans or

Speaker:

anything, I guess it's important.

Speaker:

To prepare, because if you don't prepare, you're going to be,

Speaker:

you're not going to be organized.

Speaker:

I usually have a saying rule of five P's which is prior preparation,

Speaker:

prevents piss poor performance.

Speaker:

So if you're not prepared, the performance is a bit of a a gamble.

Speaker:

You will, you are gambling, whether the performance is going to be good or not.

Speaker:

Whereas if you really prepare all the way to the very, very

Speaker:

detailed, then you're prepared.

Speaker:

You're calm.

Speaker:

You feel like you've got control.

Speaker:

But then the second thing, what you said is you know, we can't expect to

Speaker:

have everything a hundred percent in control because it's not possible.

Speaker:

There's always something that falls outside of your control.

Speaker:

And it's important to, I guess, yeah.

Speaker:

Let go and not be too, too obsessed with perfection.

Speaker:

So I think both are important because you can, you can all go like full on

Speaker:

without any control or any preparation and just trying to improvise because

Speaker:

you've got nothing to fall back.

Speaker:

No, but I think it's really important to let it go.

Speaker:

And it's an energy thing, right?

Speaker:

If you know, you prepared yourself, well, you know, you did the best you can to

Speaker:

show up for the project, whatever that is.

Speaker:

Then you also putting that energy of confidence out outwards,

Speaker:

and we all react on energy.

Speaker:

So I have a group of, you know, eight people and then the client

Speaker:

is maybe five, six people.

Speaker:

And then there's an, there's a creative directors and

Speaker:

everybody's standing behind me.

Speaker:

If I waver, everybody's going to pick up my energy and the whole

Speaker:

set is going to be stressed.

Speaker:

So I'm basically on the stage and it's almost like a performance, but it's not a

Speaker:

performance because I'm just being me now.

Speaker:

I know what I'm good at.

Speaker:

And I know what I do.

Speaker:

And then I get, do really take everybody along on this right.

Speaker:

Of playfulness.

Speaker:

And it's a trust thing because they all sort of have to come along.

Speaker:

They hired me, right.

Speaker:

They have to also let go cause this, that they trust me, that I'm

Speaker:

going to give them what they want.

Speaker:

And there's only that budget for one time for one of these, you

Speaker:

know, there's no reshooting or doing it again with another person.

Speaker:

It's really, if you think about it, it's a pretty interesting process.

Speaker:

And I think also in the day, these days where, you know, everybody can

Speaker:

be a photographer because it's on Instagram and things are often, you

Speaker:

know, photos are small and people like I'm a photographer, but, and it becomes

Speaker:

almost like commodity, but if you take it away and really think about the big

Speaker:

project it's it's I think it's a beautiful profession and we should really honor it.

Speaker:

And yeah, see the details.

Speaker:

That's awesome.

Speaker:

That's just the way you put it just sounds like really cool.

Speaker:

Almost like an orchestra.

Speaker:

Like you really have that one shot, because like you said, there's so

Speaker:

many components that go with, you mentioned models, props, location.

Speaker:

Often times you have to maybe even pay fees for, you know, to be

Speaker:

where you want to be and all that.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

And so there's, there's a budget.

Speaker:

Every everything can be very expensive.

Speaker:

I think in the movies when they should move it's similar.

Speaker:

I think they say like every hour of over, you know, on the shoot

Speaker:

costs like thousands, thousands of dollars, depending on how big it is.

Speaker:

So, so yeah, so it's.

Speaker:

Well, my point, I also wanted to make it so interesting because

Speaker:

of the whole Instagram thing.

Speaker:

I had so many of these situations recently where, you know, so the

Speaker:

client it's, so it's also a matter of education of educating the client.

Speaker:

So the client sees, oh, that photographer so-called in a Brendan

Speaker:

is on Instagram and it's doing, maybe let's say it's influenza and oh my

Speaker:

God, they can, they can shoot it.

Speaker:

So I used to that little story.

Speaker:

I used to live in San Francisco for many years before I moved to LA.

Speaker:

So it's all about tech, startup, tech startup, and it's always

Speaker:

the afterthought product.

Speaker:

We have the website, oh my God.

Speaker:

Now we need visuals.

Speaker:

We need photos and you need visuals.

Speaker:

You need photos to bring your product alive.

Speaker:

So they call me and they're like, wow.

Speaker:

You know, we love your work.

Speaker:

It's so it's so clean and it's minimal.

Speaker:

That will be amazing.

Speaker:

So I give them my quote.

Speaker:

And then they go back and then they go, my God, we spent all the money

Speaker:

on whatever you spend the money on.

Speaker:

And then they come back and be like, could you make it cheaper?

Speaker:

You know?

Speaker:

And also I have a cousin who actually can photograph it.

Speaker:

I'm like, well, if that's the case, you know, maybe your

Speaker:

cousin really should do it.

Speaker:

I'm not kidding.

Speaker:

That's been so many times.

Speaker:

And then they come back and they say, it's a disaster.

Speaker:

Maybe we need some help is retouching.

Speaker:

Can you recommend somebody buddy went all wrong.

Speaker:

We should have really, we should have hired you.

Speaker:

And it's just, it's fascinating how, you know, it's an educational thing.

Speaker:

Like you do still need a person who knows the skills and knows the

Speaker:

light who knows how to conduct this, and I am, we should, maybe we

Speaker:

should not give this to your cousin.

Speaker:

. So this is important.

Speaker:

This is very interesting because there might be people listening.

Speaker:

They might, you know, they might think.

Speaker:

It, you know, what's so hard about taking a good photo because I mean,

Speaker:

these days, I mean, you know, I words, you know, technology is so great.

Speaker:

Like, you can take a photo if, you know, I've got, you know, Canon and 50 fully

Speaker:

automatic it takes, amazing photos.

Speaker:

So for, for, for, for people that might be questioning, you know, the value

Speaker:

proposition of having a professional photographer, like, like what would be

Speaker:

something, some, some other little details that you would, that you would want to

Speaker:

tell them that they may not realize that go into the process of a good photo?

Speaker:

well, so the whole group I'm bringing, you know, let's say you will be photographed.

Speaker:

Will you be ready to be photographed?

Speaker:

Are you gonna bring your own clothes?

Speaker:

And it's going to, your shirt was hanging in your closet and it's halfway wrinkly.

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

I mean, what will that show?

Speaker:

It actually match into the set, what we're going to do, will that really

Speaker:

project who you, how you want to be seen with that Orville, we have a silent,

Speaker:

whoever we'll have three, four options of outfit and make you look like the

Speaker:

way you really want to be portrayed.

Speaker:

And as you are, maybe the face of your company, so, and then makeup.

Speaker:

How do you going to look?

Speaker:

Maybe you need a little touch up and then what about maybe the light is the light?

Speaker:

The the iPhone might take a nice snap when you have it small on your Instagram.

Speaker:

It works probably for that.

Speaker:

But then on the website, on your website, when we zoom in,

Speaker:

well, it will really look good.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

It needs, it needs to pop, especially if it's advertising, right.

Speaker:

It needs to be nice and crisp.

Speaker:

And then you've got lights.

Speaker:

You got all the technical aspects.

Speaker:

the equipment.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Shutter speed balance all those little bits.

Speaker:

That's all second nature.

Speaker:

Right?

Speaker:

I can do, I can discuss and debate that this is what I prepare for.

Speaker:

This is my preparation in advance.

Speaker:

And then I just come and then it becomes this, this fluid motion where we all

Speaker:

are because we have a long shot list.

Speaker:

We not react.

Speaker:

We're not, we're not here to discuss how we're going to do it, which is

Speaker:

going to be like, okay, do any shots?

Speaker:

Let's do this.

Speaker:

Absolutely.

Speaker:

And have fun along the way.

Speaker:

Now on that token, though, there are small business starting out, really,

Speaker:

really sort of just bootstrapping their business with zero next to nothing.

Speaker:

Small budget may be a stay at home mom with a kid trying to, you know, start

Speaker:

some sort of business just to get by.

Speaker:

People like that don't have budget.

Speaker:

What would you recommend them?

Speaker:

What would be your top tips for somebody like that?

Speaker:

Who may not afford a professional photographer for their advertising needs?

Speaker:

What would you recommend for them in terms of, you know, how, how could

Speaker:

they go about taking some photos?

Speaker:

I mean, if it's essential that they have good photos, I mean, there's

Speaker:

some amazing stock photography, which is pretty cheaply available.

Speaker:

Maybe it's a good start just to start with that.

Speaker:

But if they want to be in it, I think it's, it's worthwhile to, to find an

Speaker:

invest into, at least one session was yours for yourself, if you are,

Speaker:

because if you are to phase of your business and you really don't, you know,

Speaker:

and that's part of also what I offer.

Speaker:

It's like re it's a branding question.

Speaker:

I would sit down, I've worked with a lot of fashion brands, small fashion

Speaker:

brands, and they have a collection and then certain and then need photos.

Speaker:

But yeah.

Speaker:

Then we need to really dig into it, like, who is your client?

Speaker:

So who's going to buy your clothes.

Speaker:

How are we going to show the clothes?

Speaker:

Would that be your client feels like, oh, this is for me.

Speaker:

And then it's, you know, the client is going to buy it.

Speaker:

It's attracted is drawn to it.

Speaker:

Although it's, it's it's often you it's his idea.

Speaker:

And in this case, let's say the fashion designer is very great of amazing clothes,

Speaker:

but then if it comes to the brand.

Speaker:

It's a whole nother, maybe they've never thought of that.

Speaker:

You know, what are the company colors?

Speaker:

Where if you have one collection, will there be a continuation, will

Speaker:

it be, you know, build up to the next collection, will the visual

Speaker:

visually, will it tell a story?

Speaker:

Will it be, you know, also fit into everything.

Speaker:

It, everything needs to be coherent, but it can't be the same.

Speaker:

It has, it always needs to be a little bit different.

Speaker:

So it's all these interesting contemplations and discussion I have

Speaker:

with my clients and we take deeper and then we grew out of that comes

Speaker:

access that final visual concept.

Speaker:

Absolutely.

Speaker:

Absolutely not.

Speaker:

Hang on a minute.

Speaker:

I just had some really good question and I just forgot.

Speaker:

I just forget about it.

Speaker:

I didn't really good question.

Speaker:

Just give me a second.

Speaker:

I'll see if it comes back, I'll give you a chance to drink some water.

Speaker:

there was something about that, about photography.

Speaker:

Visual.

Speaker:

Oh, yes.

Speaker:

I was going to say,

Speaker:

where are

Speaker:

the times that we are live in now?

Speaker:

Right?

Speaker:

We are so isolated with the COVID so e-commerce grows even

Speaker:

more than it was before, Covid.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

And so if you are somebody that's selling online products, clothes, fashion, it's

Speaker:

also about the shopping experience.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

And in order to provide that shopping experience photography

Speaker:

again is an important element, right?

Speaker:

For the customers to be able to see all the different angles, the product.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

Well, yeah, I mean, it's interesting where photography is going in that regard

Speaker:

because like H&M, Hennes & Mauritz, I think you have it in Australia as well.

Speaker:

They already starting to use avatars.

Speaker:

You can upload your measurements, your photo, they build an avatar of you.

Speaker:

And then it's AI.

Speaker:

AI is, is coming, and then you can visually virtually try on the

Speaker:

clothes and spin it around 360.

Speaker:

So you can see yourself through an augmented reality and see

Speaker:

yourself wearing those clothes.

Speaker:

That's that's, that's amazing as well.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I've seen something like that at the Microsoft store.

Speaker:

They had the, the Microsoft Google goggles and you could see AR, but

Speaker:

this is great example of that.

Speaker:

Yeah, how they can take e-commerce to the next level.

Speaker:

It it's it's.

Speaker:

I mean, this is the next frontier it's coming and I'm curious, what's

Speaker:

gong to happen to photography itself.

Speaker:

I mean, it's changing, right?

Speaker:

It has to change ever since digital arrived and it went, you

Speaker:

know, big, big cameras, then the video aspect became part of it.

Speaker:

So it's, and now, again, it's really changing with the, with AI.

Speaker:

but I think there's still always a Renaissance and the need

Speaker:

for, or photography was a human beings because we're still human.

Speaker:

We're not just people still want to see a real person and a real model.

Speaker:

And, and not just like you would a generated.

Speaker:

Absolutely.

Speaker:

Absolutely.

Speaker:

It'll be interesting to see where the future takes us.

Speaker:

Let's move on to sound personal questions.

Speaker:

You said this one thing and says it's not about the big death, but the daily

Speaker:

ones where we get to die in birth again and renew, what do you mean by that?

Speaker:

Well, we do truly die every moment, right?

Speaker:

Even our body.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

We, when we started this conversation, you and I are not the same person.

Speaker:

Our cells have died and rebirth.

Speaker:

So.

Speaker:

This is in relation to my other work end of life and coaching.

Speaker:

And I think if we realize that we are dying every moment or that there is

Speaker:

so many deaths in our lives, let's say at the end of a job, the end of a

Speaker:

relationship to end of a life, the way the habits we used to have specially

Speaker:

now, because of during COVID, then we can be with it in an easier way.

Speaker:

And we can prepare ourselves for the big one.

Speaker:

And we don't have to be so scared because when you say the word 'death'

Speaker:

people shriek.They think darkness.

Speaker:

Well, there's no knowing.

Speaker:

It's just like, oh, that's the far, far, far, far, far.

Speaker:

We don't need to actually engage on this topic right now.

Speaker:

Wait, I deal with it later, but it's, you know, it's ever so present in our life.

Speaker:

So we can, I just want to, I'm very interested in the topic because

Speaker:

I really think it's not as dark.

Speaker:

And I would like to change the conversation around this.

Speaker:

Where did this interest started for you?

Speaker:

Where did it come from?

Speaker:

it's started because I had a very heart wrenching life-changing burn down.

Speaker:

I've been through a very painful divorce and I felt that in this process, And

Speaker:

old part me actually died the old life I left my, the way you know, my, my

Speaker:

dreams, the way I had set up my lives, the love I had given to this person,

Speaker:

my friends, my community, everything sort of have collapsed in itself.

Speaker:

And it, it, it just, and that, and then.

Speaker:

I was in the mud.

Speaker:

I called this the mud.

Speaker:

I was sitting in the ground and the darkness.

Speaker:

So to say, or maybe it wasn't even that it was muddy.

Speaker:

It was, you know, because I was battling with myself, but then I realized,

Speaker:

wow, I let go of all these things.

Speaker:

They are no longer me.

Speaker:

And now I get to rebirth myself and I get to take Jesus on and

Speaker:

decide who do I need to be?

Speaker:

Who do I want to be?

Speaker:

And I began this beautiful, beautiful process of sweepers.

Speaker:

So I was very, very interested in, in, in, in deaths.

Speaker:

I became interested.

Speaker:

What does that really mean?

Speaker:

And I did a deep dive.

Speaker:

Wow.

Speaker:

I mean, that's a big topic.

Speaker:

I don't even know if I'm willing to go in there cause I don't know much about it.

Speaker:

I guess I'm one of those.

Speaker:

We'll leave it to later.

Speaker:

It's interesting.

Speaker:

I'm just going to say this real quick.

Speaker:

I mean, again, really all live in our different reality, right?

Speaker:

And you, you live in Australia and I'm in Germany.

Speaker:

And so the COVID really, I think there's a silver lining to COVID

Speaker:

and COVID changed our lives image.

Speaker:

In general.

Speaker:

We can say that it's forced us to look in to ourselves, to our lives.

Speaker:

And there's definitely the word sings.

Speaker:

We no longer need and we, we can put down, but if we don't have

Speaker:

the language around this, then it's becomes this nut inside us.

Speaker:

And it's just this feeling of this disatisfaction and we don't

Speaker:

can not be, can not address it.

Speaker:

But if we understand that, wow, Maybe I'm grieving something I had to let go.

Speaker:

And if we can put words and emotions to it, then we can be

Speaker:

with it and then gracefully address it and put it down because we

Speaker:

realized we don't need it anymore.

Speaker:

And through that, we make space for something new and that's the rebirth.

Speaker:

That's a very nice way to put it.

Speaker:

That's a, that's awesome because you're right.

Speaker:

We, we often times, we don't really know what it is that is frustrating

Speaker:

us or what are we worrying about?

Speaker:

And if we don't know what it is, we don't know how to address it.

Speaker:

And it's just, we're just hinging on something that's there

Speaker:

that we can't really explain.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

So that's yeah, that's great.

Speaker:

That's great.

Speaker:

At the beginning, you said, you know, that you, through an observation,

Speaker:

you, you can come to realization of you know, what's possible.

Speaker:

What's been done.

Speaker:

What are the opportunities?

Speaker:

And

Speaker:

we live such a hectic busy lives.

Speaker:

Some of us that we oftentimes forget all the little bits of effort that

Speaker:

we put throughout the day into tasks, actions that at the end of the day,

Speaker:

especially when we are chasing some dream, we might be chasing some goal.

Speaker:

We might forget what we've actually accomplished that day.

Speaker:

And then we just keep on chasing some dream.

Speaker:

And because we're still not there, we might say, it's easy

Speaker:

to say, oh, I'm a failure.

Speaker:

Or I'm not, I'm not an accomplishment.

Speaker:

I'm not accomplishing things, but if you can stop and observe what you've

Speaker:

done that day as an example, maybe writing your notes does something I've

Speaker:

mentioned few times in the podcast.

Speaker:

what I do, I like to use checklists, you know, and, and or at the end of the day,

Speaker:

if I haven't had a checklist, come back to a note, you know, open my notebook

Speaker:

and write down what I've done that day.

Speaker:

And it's just going through the exercise of writing down.

Speaker:

I start to observe all the effort, everything that I've done, and I start

Speaker:

to feel better and better and better.

Speaker:

And then, you know, once I've exhausted all that, I think that I've done that day.

Speaker:

I'm like, okay, well, you know what?

Speaker:

I've actually made another step forward towards where I want to go.

Speaker:

Another, if it's 1% 0.1%, whatever it is just a little improvement, but only when

Speaker:

I've written it down and I can observe it.

Speaker:

If I haven't written it down, if I haven't put it, you know, took

Speaker:

the effort to sit down and really think about all that I've done.

Speaker:

I've won't have the opportunity to observe it.

Speaker:

So I just say that,

Speaker:

No, we need to pause and we need to let it sink in.

Speaker:

And then we also, we're so hard on ourselves, right?

Speaker:

We're always aiming.

Speaker:

We're living in the society of productivity, but there's

Speaker:

so many things we're doing.

Speaker:

And I think just showing up for ourselves, we should really sometimes

Speaker:

honour that and be like, I showed up the day I made an effort.

Speaker:

I started, I may, it may not be perfect, but I did.

Speaker:

I broke the ice and that in itself, that's how we move forward.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

Maybe that I'm thinking I need to run a marathon.

Speaker:

That's just walk around the block and that's it.

Speaker:

That's like, because we don't get overwhelmed.

Speaker:

And then we can see that we are doing.

Speaker:

I think that's such an important take away.

Speaker:

And as you said, journaling, you know, your list just going down and reminding

Speaker:

exactly reminding ourselves consciously, I'm like, oh yeah, that was a good day.

Speaker:

I did this.

Speaker:

you said the right word was, we are so being very hard on ourselves.

Speaker:

We are being hard on ourselves and we constantly chase the productivity.

Speaker:

We perceive productivity as something that, you know, it

Speaker:

needs to be more, we need to be able to do more than what we do.

Speaker:

my hope is that, you know, some, some of you guys listening, I hope that one of

Speaker:

you out there, you know, is taking this.

Speaker:

I hope that all of you taking this to heart.

Speaker:

and I'm also hoping that that is somebody out there listening to this

Speaker:

that is, has been thinking about starting something and haven't and

Speaker:

been waiting for that perfect moment.

Speaker:

Because what you said is, yeah.

Speaker:

Just start.

Speaker:

Just do one little step towards that next step.

Speaker:

Just one little step.

Speaker:

Don't wait until you've got everything planned out.

Speaker:

Don't wait until you've got your business name.

Speaker:

You know, if it's in relation to business, don't wait until you've

Speaker:

got , everything laid out to start, just start with something

Speaker:

and right.

Speaker:

Just start, just do it and put yourself out on the desk.

Speaker:

Runnable space.

Speaker:

It's about having the courage being brave and stepping into your vulnerability.

Speaker:

And if it feels Ooh, and you are like on your edge, that's exactly

Speaker:

the spot where you need to be.

Speaker:

Absolutely.

Speaker:

Speaking of speaking of spot, Claudia, can I put you on a spot

Speaker:

again of another tough question?

Speaker:

Tell me something that's true.

Speaker:

That almost nobody agrees with you.

Speaker:

well I believe that we have been here before and we will come again and this

Speaker:

world, I mean, it's related out about re relation to rebirths I don't know if

Speaker:

you ever had an encounter where you felt like you met somebody and you met that

Speaker:

person for a long time and even so you just met and there's this familiarity.

Speaker:

I know, I know.

Speaker:

Yes.

Speaker:

I know what you're talking about.

Speaker:

I have met people in my life.

Speaker:

I can't define the memory because it's in the past but I know it happened and

Speaker:

it was the experience of like instant.

Speaker:

It was like an instant connection and instant, the rapport was so great.

Speaker:

You know, I don't know if it was at a bar talking to somebody.

Speaker:

maybe I had few piece maybe that was influencing that to maybe I'm not sure.

Speaker:

I'm just trying to think, but I'm pretty sure this happened

Speaker:

to me in life once or twice.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So I wouldn't know.

Speaker:

I was thinking about soul connections.

Speaker:

Oh, and oh, maybe we also, another thing could interesting could be

Speaker:

that all the people we meet it's meant to be, because you know, there

Speaker:

are so many options in our life.

Speaker:

Like why did I click on your podcast and why I was like,

Speaker:

I need to talk to this, man.

Speaker:

I want to be on his podcast.

Speaker:

So, you know, there's this, why are we drawn to certain things?

Speaker:

Why are we making decisions the way we make them?

Speaker:

I think that's, it's an interesting contemplation to have.

Speaker:

So, because it's meant to be, because we have to exchange something,

Speaker:

we have to have this conversation and then we go about our life.

Speaker:

I don't know if sometimes.

Speaker:

There's not just coincidence that's just meant to be.

Speaker:

Hmm.

Speaker:

Yeah, because I mean, there is there's, I mean, last year podcasting space has

Speaker:

doubled because of COVID as double amount of people are running their podcasts, as

Speaker:

it has theirs, I don't know the number on the 600,000 podcasters or something.

Speaker:

And then you've got so many Instagram channels and you did ended up

Speaker:

just coming across my Instagram.

Speaker:

And I know you've messaged me with an interest to be on the show.

Speaker:

And so you're right.

Speaker:

Actually.

Speaker:

Yeah, it is very interesting to

Speaker:

give something to you or you at Yale.

Speaker:

I mean, maybe it is, this was something meant to be, maybe it's a little

Speaker:

seed do for the listeners who knows.

Speaker:

I mean, I'm, I'm saying does in the most humble way, I'm just curious about

Speaker:

these encounters, why they happen.

Speaker:

And sometimes when we do it, we don't even know, and then we're drawn to it and then.

Speaker:

And it's complete.

Speaker:

And then we go about our life.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

There's not a, it's not even about trying to figure out the actual finite answer.

Speaker:

It's just a, it's just the exercise of just having to think about it.

Speaker:

Like what, you know, what does that mean?

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

I mean, you're right.

Speaker:

Yeah, because I mean, it could just be that as a result of having this

Speaker:

conversation, we've helped someone's life improve, you know, make finally,

Speaker:

maybe we've said something that finally clicked in for somebody out there

Speaker:

that they needed to, here to finally make sense, and change in their life.

Speaker:

Who knows?

Speaker:

Right we hope so.

Speaker:

It is, it is a big question, right there.

Speaker:

Just like thinking about death, big question mark.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

What's after, right.

Speaker:

I think that that's for like a whole another interview, I think.

Speaker:

so back to you Claudia, what drives you to help others so much?

Speaker:

You mentioned, you have also your other business where you help others as a doula,

Speaker:

and then you have also life coaching.

Speaker:

So what drives you to do that?

Speaker:

Because you could have just easily be photographer and just do that.

Speaker:

Right?

Speaker:

I realized in this rebirth that I much more than just the

Speaker:

photographer and I'm a people person.

Speaker:

I mean, as a photographer, you are people I do constantly connect with others and I

Speaker:

felt if I can share forward what I learned in somebody, because of that, that doesn't

Speaker:

need to go all the way down and burn down as much as I did every beautiful.

Speaker:

And I really, truly want to be a part of the conversation to change around

Speaker:

this because we are born to die.

Speaker:

And if we can.

Speaker:

You know, the way we die or I'm just gonna just another little side saying, but the

Speaker:

way we die right now, it's, you know, used to be with the family in the community.

Speaker:

And now we have taken it away to the hospital and it became very sterilised.

Speaker:

And it became because of that most frightening.

Speaker:

But if we can bring it back again and make it again, a celebration of the life of the

Speaker:

person just going from form to formless, then I think we become a better society.

Speaker:

We become better friends.

Speaker:

We become a stronger community because it's really, it's a very intimate process.

Speaker:

And we've witnessed somebody like a burst view, witness, a burst.

Speaker:

It's like, wow, it's magic of the life.

Speaker:

And then it's on the other end.

Speaker:

It's the death.

Speaker:

It's the magic of the life again.

Speaker:

So I find is a very, very sacred and beautiful process because

Speaker:

we're all going to go through this.

Speaker:

You know, we are birth and we're going to die.

Speaker:

So I want to be part of this conversation.

Speaker:

I feel like this is my role in this lifetime.

Speaker:

The only thing about that is, and this is what I think is it's a big difference if

Speaker:

it's somebody who's dying and they're 90 years old and they've had their life in

Speaker:

the dying naturally as a result of aging us versus somebody else who may have died.

Speaker:

And they're young, I think that's the hard part to, to, to digest.

Speaker:

I think for, for the families of individuals,

Speaker:

It is, it is, I, I mean, this is a whole, another deep conversation.

Speaker:

We can go down.

Speaker:

My, my my brother passed away when he was 22 years old.

Speaker:

So I have a personal relationship with this.

Speaker:

And, but it's about acceptance.

Speaker:

And that again, that's a whole deep conversation.

Speaker:

It's about acceptance of life.

Speaker:

Acceptance.

Speaker:

What is given to us?

Speaker:

Why?

Speaker:

I think we should never ask why, why is not a good question to ask in life?

Speaker:

It's just things happen.

Speaker:

We are not what happened, which is the witness and it's out.

Speaker:

Then we get to choose be with it or react to it in a way, if we

Speaker:

fight it, it will fight us back.

Speaker:

But it's, we have to accept that.

Speaker:

And I know it's easier said than done, but there's nothing we can do against that.

Speaker:

Right.

Speaker:

It's just, it wasn't meant to be that person passed.

Speaker:

So.

Speaker:

I don't want to sound harsh and cold, you know, I've a very deep spiritual

Speaker:

belief that really, we have to accept that something doesn't work out.

Speaker:

We don't even have to go to the big death.

Speaker:

If a relationship doesn't work out, we have to accept it, put it down gracefully.

Speaker:

There was a lesson in it.

Speaker:

And then we take that lesson and the wisdom when we gained with us and

Speaker:

move onward, I mean, we can even apply this to a business, a business fail.

Speaker:

but like you said, easier said than done.

Speaker:

I mean, at the end of the day, it all comes down to our emotions.

Speaker:

And how are we able to control our emotions too?

Speaker:

Like you said, to put it down, let it go.

Speaker:

And don't, don't beat ourselves over it.

Speaker:

Or don't try to continuously question why, why it is or how it could be, would be.

Speaker:

Because we can, if we can really live in the, now it comes back to that

Speaker:

curiosity and observation and see you, what is in front of us, maybe, you

Speaker:

know, that's the, that is it right?

Speaker:

There is no past, we can't hang onto the past.

Speaker:

We can take the wisdom forward into the now.

Speaker:

And we cannot live in a future either because the future hasn't even arrived.

Speaker:

We have two stories.

Speaker:

There's projection.

Speaker:

We put, I like when, when you're going to be like this,

Speaker:

then I'm going to do like that.

Speaker:

That's a projection.

Speaker:

We don't know.

Speaker:

So why not be in the now, why not be like really, really present

Speaker:

and see what's gifted to us.

Speaker:

And we'll go from there.

Speaker:

I just want to add more to it.

Speaker:

I know we want to move on from it.

Speaker:

Cause it's like very deep in like this, this I'm going too deep.

Speaker:

That's okay.

Speaker:

I'm just trying to find what's the segue from it.

Speaker:

What's the message around success and inspiring success.

Speaker:

Cause that's the podcast here, I guess, in a way it is in a look in a way it is.

Speaker:

I think, because whether it's the success of building

Speaker:

business or success or properly.

Speaker:

Oh, I can say something.

Speaker:

Yep.

Speaker:

Go ahead.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

I feel the more we know about ourselves and that it's a

Speaker:

personal, we become personally successful with our internal self.

Speaker:

We also ripple outward and we will be successful in our business

Speaker:

because there is not separation between personal and business.

Speaker:

We are the business.

Speaker:

We are energy, right?

Speaker:

And a business, a successful business CEO isn't will.

Speaker:

If he knows we either the person, he will be an amazing leader.

Speaker:

Was he, he, he just, you know, I mean, we have so many examples of, of big

Speaker:

companies were using, wow, how could that person, if you know, it treats the people

Speaker:

horribly and then there's another CEO.

Speaker:

And he, she we're like, wow, that person is so kind.

Speaker:

I can't believe they, you know, really looking after the employees.

Speaker:

So it's, it's all who we are, who we are personally.

Speaker:

The more we know who we are, how we tick, what drives us, not the

Speaker:

way we look out into the world.

Speaker:

I think the better we create our business.

Speaker:

I like, I like the segue.

Speaker:

you made it into business.

Speaker:

That's nice.

Speaker:

We got, we got, we got there.

Speaker:

what would be, what would be your top three things?
