s2e4: film photography + turning to nature with Siobhán watts

for photographers
Written By Anna Considine || Studio Gently

Welcome back everyone, and welcome to our second interview episode, this time with the incredible brand photographer Siobhán Watts. I’ve been in love with Siobhán’s work ever since I came across it back in I believe 2015 (maybe even 2014!) as she has a stunning warm and nature-centric style that you will love. In this episode we discussed film photography vs Instagram photography, how nature features in and inspires her work, motherhood and why we need wealthy women, and so much more. It’s a beautiful listen so get comfortable and enjoy!

Check out Siobhán on her website, Instagram, and Pinterest.
