Wild Women in Photography

At the 2025 NANPA Summit, three women photographers share wisdom on creativity, community, and purpose behind the lens.

What happens when the thing you love — the thing that once felt energizing and aligned — starts to feel heavy? In this short but honest check-in, I’m opening up about the unplanned pause I took from Wild Women in Photography… and what it revealed about creative capacity, transitions, and trusting your own timing. This isn’t a full episode — it’s a moment to talk openly about where I’ve been, what’s been unfolding behind the scenes, and why I’m coming back with more clarity and intention than ever before. If you’ve ever wrestled with your creative identity, felt stretched between roles, or needed permission to step back without guilt — this one’s for you.

Episode 37:Intuition and Adventure with Tiffany Reed Briley Photographer and educator Tiffany Reed Briley joins Brie Stockwell for a thoughtful and energizing conversation about navigating creativity, change, and personal freedom. They talk about everything from solo travel and camper life to letting go of expectations and learning to trust your intuition. Tiffany opens up about redefining success on her own terms—creatively, spiritually, and professionally—and how nature continues to be her greatest teacher. Highlights from this episode: Tiffany shares the surprising reason she started camping full-time while guiding workshops—and why it matters. Reflections on burnout, reinvention, and her husband’s decision to leave photography behind. Why Tiffany believes staying connected to nature is essential to creativity and healing. Brie opens up about her solo White Sands experience and what intuition had to do with it. The joy (and challenge!) of photographing in all-blue-sky conditions—and how to use them to your advantage. Charleston’s magical “boneyard beaches” and why they’re always changing. How Tiffany packs her Jeep with wine, throw pillows, and a portable curling iron—and why being cute matters. Brie and Tiffany geek out over color theory, oil painting, and the book Landscape Painting by Mitchell Albala. What happens when women stop waiting in the wings and start owning the spotlight. A candid and powerful look at what it means to be brave, curious, and unapologetically yourself as an artist.
