On our last day with :
Tell us about your latest favorite shoot. Don’t leave out any details. What was your shot list, where did you shoot, what was your role, what were you excited about the creative, who worked on the shoot with you, and any fun highlights?
RG: This is such a hard one because I truly enjoy aspects of every shoot I do but I think I’ll refer back to that big personal project I just started working on.
I’ve been sitting on this idea for over 2 years but it is soooo hard jumping into something of that magnitude because serious imposter syndrome takes over.
Well let me tell you, when I started sharing this project with people I wanted to collaborate with they were all in and supportive of it without even asking questions. In the end, I was the photographer/director/creative director and had an immediate team working with me of 6 people who were all donating their time to this project and this message.
Ultimately on our first shoot of two, we had over 20 people on set between the 2 days of shooting and they were all pumped to be there!
We shot stills and motion- one hero shot for each set and then detail shots. I was so excited about seeing this all come to life and see how much everyone else was into it as well because ultimately this was my baby but when we all came together to create this, it became a true collaborative effort and I could not have achieved this without all of them.
SFA: What a great project! We love hearing how the collaborative process brought the project to a new level and allowed you to move past imposter syndrome and bring to life your idea.
Thank you so much Rebecca for sharing your thoughts, journey and insights with us. We can’t wait to see what you create this year and see your project.

Want to know how to and why to have a crew? Rebecca spilling the beans today.
SFA: How big is your typical crew? How did you find them? What are their roles? How does having a crew help you produce higher-quality images?
RG: Guys! Your teams are everything! I am never that photographer who hides in an empty studio by myself creating, even though I know that works for some. Collaboration is truly a magical process and the earlier you realize you don't have to do it all and can bring people in who can do it best you will really start stepping up your game.
My crews usually range from 3 for a small test shoot up to 20+ for a bigger shoot/commercial shoot. I recently started shooting a big personal project where I had over 20+ wonderful creatives working side by side with me as a passion project and they were all in it to make magic.
Having a good solid crew makes all the difference. If you have a big shoot with a big shot list, make sure to bring in the right amount of people who will help you create the best possible imagery otherwise something will most likely suffer for it.
SFA: What do you love about the craft? Do you prefer to shoot in a studio or on location? Why?
RG: Photography is such a magical art. You are truly capturing a person, light, movement, moment that will never again exist. I am a studio girl through and through. I love the process of starting with an empty space and building something in it that will only live forever in those photos or videos. It is the way I've been able to create unique visions and projects where I have control over all the aspects and can make it look exactly how I envision with the help of fellow collaborators.
One more coming from Rebecca later this week. So stay tuned.

We're here with talking about mentors today.
SFA: Did you have a mentor(s) that helped shape your career? Any advice that's stuck with you over the years?
Rebecca: In my younger years I always sought out mentors. They all bought something to the table that I wanted know and learn and they always pushed me, sometimes harder than I would push myself.
One of my biggest mentors was my HS Art Principal who was the absolute best and most supportive person. On day one, she basically handed me a key to the darkroom, and told me to never stop shooting, and experimenting. She also taught me to not limit myself with the type of art process I chose but to try all the things that spoke to me because ultimately all these different forms of art I would try would help inform and push me harder in my photography.
Because of her I took mixed media, painting, figure drawing, sculpture, art history and learned so much in the process. To this day I don't just do photography, I also work in ceramics and a lot of my work is focused around figure drawing and female forms, not to mention how nice it is to have creative hobbies outside of photography as well.
I think the thing that most people do is stay within their comfort zones, and I was taught to always push myself outside of those comfort zones. Try new things, play, have fun, never take yourself too seriously, and enjoy the process.
SFA: Always striving to puch the boundaries and try new things. Love it. Stay tuned as we continue our conversation with Rebecca this week.

This week we're so excited to have Rebecca Grant on the feed. We asked Rebecca a bunch of questions about her craft and path, so be sure to check in over week to dive in with us.
SFA: Tell us about you. How did you find your path into photography?
Rebecca: I've been a creative soul from the very beginning and my love for photography, art and music truly began in my childhood, growing up in NYC and being exposed to galleries, museums and art programs that pushed me creatively.
I was inspired to create from a young age but truly started learning how a camera worked in High School. I spent most of HS in the darkroom, which is one of the most magical places and knew at that point that watching an image come to life in the developer was where I wanted to be, and what I wanted to do.
When I decided to further my photo education in college, is when my growth truly sprung forward by leaps and bounds. I was immersed in creative and technical photo-related classes every day for 4 years. I didn’t just learn about the creative side of the craft but learned a lot about the technical… how light works, how lenses work and everything in between.
