“What Instagram is evidence of is that creativity is a fundamental part of who we are as human beings. And the suppression of that actually creates really unhappy people, and when we have an opportunity to express our creative selves is when we feel most complete.” My guest today is Kimberly Espinel. She’s a food photographer, a food photography teacher, and author of the new book Creative Food Photography: how to capture exceptional images of food. As if that wasn’t enough, Kimberly also hosts the podcast Eat, Capture, Share, which also happens to be the name of her Instagram food photography challenge. We chatted about the nature of creativity, Kimberly’s path from blog to Instagram to book, the joys and realities of self-publishing, and what it means to believe in and invest in your own creative voice.
