What makes someone a photographer, and who decides? Shanda Akin has experienced a journey from the air force to the arts and has lots to share about how we see ourselves as photographers. Her love of learning is our good fortune, as we talk about valuable lessons she’s picking up in her pursuit of a Master of Arts in Photography, how we can make sublime images, and the power of projects to spark our creativity.
