Today I’m sitting down for a conversation with Alethea Fitzpatrick, a former architect turned family photography & photography coach for parents at Photosanity.
Born and brought up in the UK, Alethea lives in Brooklyn with her husband and her two sons and loves helping parents find joy, connection and delight in their day-to-day parenting experience through photography.
It was so much fun chatting with Alethea about her left brain meets right brain perspectives on the creative process.
During our conversation we chat about:
- Why it’s ok to to approach photography with a ‘design mindset’ instead of a ‘fine art’ mindset and what that actually means
- How Alethea bridged the transition from learning film photography first to mastering a DSLR camera after becoming a mom
- The need of the creative to ‘make with their hands’ and how Alethea has transitioned that sentiment throughout her various creative projects.
- Alethea shares her tips for using a camera as a family connector and not a disruptor.
