Style is easy to imitate. Voice is something else entirely.
In this second part of my conversation with David duChemin, we move beyond cameras and technique and into something much more personal — creativity, artistic identity, fear, comparison, and the challenge of making work that actually feels honest in a world constantly pulling creatives toward imitation.
David shares his thoughts on the difference between style and voice, why social media has changed the way many photographers see themselves, and how easy it can become to slowly lose sight of what originally made photography exciting in the first place.
We also talk about wildlife photography, curiosity, inspiration, creative burnout, and the pressure many artists feel to constantly produce work that fits trends, algorithms, or expectations rather than personal vision.
But what makes this conversation special is that it never becomes heavy or overly serious. Along the way there are still plenty of laughs, unexpected stories, reflections about life, and moments that feel more like two people talking over pizza and wine than a traditional photography interview.
At its core, this episode becomes a conversation about trust — trusting your curiosity, your experiences, your instincts, and slowly learning that finding your own voice may matter far more than trying to sound like everyone else.
So grab a coffee and join me for part two of this conversation with David duChemin.
