  • Money Is One of The Reasons But Not The Only Reasons With Have Conflict
    Jul 9 2025

    Conflict in the creative industry? Oh, honey, it’s not just common—it’s practically currency. From late payments and ghosting clients to toxic 'community' politics and behind-the-scenes backstabbing, creatives face a war zone disguised as a vibe. In this specially requested episode of The Loud Lens, Khandie Rees rips the lid off the reasons creatives fall out—spoiler: it’s usually about money, ego, or blurred boundaries—and gives you the tools to protect yourself while still thriving in this beautifully chaotic industry.

  • Follower Request: When It’s Time to Pivot or Quit.
    Jul 5 2025

    Still hanging onto a photography business that’s burning you out? Dreading shoots you once loved? You’re not broken—you’ve evolved. In this episode of The Loud Lens, I’m tearing down the myth that you have to “stick it out” forever just because you once liked it or because people expect it.

    Whether you’re sick of weddings, burnt out from back-to-back minis, or feel like your audience has moved on without you—this is your sign. It’s OK to pivot. It’s OK to quit. It’s smart to diversify.

    We’ll talk real-life examples, the red flags you’re probably ignoring, and the business power of burning things down to rebuild something better.

    This was a specially requested episode from a follower.
