Chrystal Ding: On learning through discomfort
Listen now
Description
In this episode, we talk with Chrystal about how she prepares for each project, and why she places such an emphasis on the value of research. Yet even with research, Chrystal acknowledges that you may not always be the right person to do the work. She notes that accepting being wrong sometimes, and responding quickly to your mistakes in order to minimise harm is key to being an ethical photographer. For Chrystal, discomfort is a means through which to learn and grow.
