It Starts With A Click

Welcome to the debut episode of "It Starts With A Click!" I'm Olivia Bossert. Join me on a journey of resilience, creativity, and building a thriving fashion photography business. From Geneva to Cornwall, I'll share how photography became my passion, leading to the founding of Atlas Magazine at university.  Health challenges temporarily dampened my passion, but a breakthrough reignited my love for photography. Settling in Cornwall, I aimed to build a wedding photography business but realized my true path lay in fashion photography. In 2020, I made a life-changing move to London. Navigating new experiences and overcoming imposter syndrome, I pitched to brands and collaborated with top names, achieving dreams I once thought impossible. My business, Olivia Bossert Education, prioritizes creativity, well-being, and freedom. Personal projects fuel my artistry, while thoughtful planning shapes my fashion photography business. Key Takeaways: Passion for Fashion: Photography became my creative outlet and true passion. Embracing Creativity: Despite challenges, photography provided solace and inspiration. Rediscovering Photography: After a hiatus, my love for photography returned, igniting my determination. Navigating Challenges: From weddings to brand collaborations, I found my true path. Building a Holistic Business: Olivia Bossert Education prioritizes fulfillment and aligns with my values. Overcoming Imposter Syndrome: I emerged stronger, building a thriving fashion photography business.

This episode is a bit different, but I really wanted to chat about this topic, because I feel like I speak to so many photographers who feel like things are taking too long, or that they're not progressing fast enough, or they're never going to make it because they've been working hard for 6 months and seeing no results. The truth is that this career is a long term game. It takes time, and you need to willing to put in the work day after day, year after year.  Listen in to find out why.

I discovered Karin Majoka completly by chance one evening. Matt Day, a popular film youtuber, was recommending female film photography youtubers, and she was amongst that list. I binge watched her videos that evening, and proceeded to email her a few days later to see if she'd be interested in coming on the show!  We had the nicest chat, talking about being a female film photographer, why she started her youtube channel, tips for shooting on film, and so much more.  I really hope you enjoy listening to our conversation!  Follow Karin: https://www.instagram.com/karinmajoka/ https://www.karinmajoka.com/

This week I've focused on the importance of self care for photographers. I think we talk SO much about working hard, shooting as much as we can, pushing forward all the time... that we forget how important it is to recharge as well.⁠ ⁠ In this weeks episode I chat about: - The importance of understand whether you're an introvert or an extrovert - Setting boundaries - How I recharge after a shoot - Just why importance is so so so important If you enjoy listening to the episode, please feel free to leave me a 5 star review on the Apple Podcasts app! This is the best way to help the show get discovered by more photographers like you. Thank you!

Welcome back to Season 3 of It Starts With A Click! I'm so excited to be back with another season, and I'm kicking it off with a bit of reflection on 5 of the biggest lessons I learnt from being put into lockdown because of the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic. I go over things like: - why I don't need to shoot as much as I used to going forward - Why I'm more grateful than ever for my online business - How I sorted out my finances - Chilling to the max was so beneficial  - Pitching to brands was still, even in a lockdown, my most effective form of marketing.

This weeks episode is a solo show with me! Its been a while since I did one of these. One of the biggest questions that I get asked is whether or not it is possible to be a successful fashion photographer from a small town or village. I’ve lived in Cornwall for ten years, and if you know anything about the UK, you’ll know the Cornwall is about as far from London as you can get. I’ve made quite a successful career as a photographer from here, so if I can do it, you can too! Listen to the episode to find out how.
