From the Hip Podcast
A couple weeks ago I got to meet with David Whatley, owner and operator of The Covenant Studios. We talked Photography, something we are both passionate about on his podcast, “From the Hip.” I met David about 2 years ago, when renting studio space for a creative shoot. His Studio has the best rates in the area, as well as props, outits, and lights. It’s hard to say no. To this day I strongly recommend for any artist to book with the Covenant studio in Hurst, Texas. Not only will you get the chance to enjoy the spoils of his studio space but you might also get the pleasure of meeting David.
This was my first podcast, and it was a great experience. I think it helped that I was already acquainted with David. There is always that pressure that one feels when a question is asked and you don’t know the answer. Even though the topic was about something I specialize in, I still felt the anxiety that my answer would not come out ……… “normal?” haha. Within the first 10 minutes of the podcast, I got the hint that David was a pro at steering a conversation and sensing unease topics and tones. This provided a blanket of comfortability allowing me to confidently organize my thoughts. I overall had a great time and will definitely not be as nervous in the next. Below is the Podcast Summary and Video.
