In this episode, we interview Nicole McConville, an Asheville-based photographer and artist. She specializes in portrait, food, fashion, and product photography while also focusing on themes of visual storytelling and connection. Throughout this podcast interview, Nicole shares with us her background and her personal making it in Asheville’s story. Although today Nicole is considered one of the top business branding photographers in town, photography wasn’t always her profession. Over the years, Nicole McConville has developed her unique photography style, testing out different ideas and subject focuses. Today her emphasis is on helping entrepreneurs make first and lasting connections through portrait photography. “This isn’t just about taking pretty pictures,” says Nicole. “This is about honoring certain people in a certain place and time. And knowing that what we’re doing is allowing them to meet other people.” Here’s What You’ll Learn in this Episode:  How Nicole went from a long career in publishing to discovering her passion for photography Why Nicole’s photographic style is less focused on tech and gear and more focused on connection and storytelling The importance of listening to your own internal compass and how this very act has impacted Nicole’s success Why sharing your work just might be the most important thing you do Tips for developing your own creative style Why, according to Nicole, all businesses should take some of their own photos and her advice for doing so  For complete show notes, including some supplementary information from this episode visit: MakingItInAsheville.com/045 To see our upcoming social events and workshops, visit: MakingItInAsheville.com/events To recommend an interviewee, visit: MakingItInAsheville.com/podcast Curious to learn more about what we do?
