320: Luci Dumas “No More Starving Artist!” (remix)

Jul 29, 2025

Are you tired of the old myth that being an artist means being broke?

In this solo episode, I take on the “starving artist” mindset that holds so many talented photographers back—and gives you fresh ways to flip the script.

Whether you’re struggling to charge what you’re worth, feel crushed by rejection, or stuck believing you need to be “perfect” to make money, this episode is for you.

Questions to Ask Yourself from This Episode:

  • What if you could see your photography as a product—not a reflection of your soul?
  • Could rejection actually have nothing to do with you or your art?
  • Are you pricing your time like someone who values it?
  • What if “good enough” really is good enough to succeed?
  • Is your style actually as important as you think—or is it more important to create what clients love?
  • Are your technical skills strong and repeatable enough to inspire confidence and joy in your clients?
  • And most importantly…what would change if you believed that you deserve to thrive?

I dig deep to offer you encouragement, challenge yourself and your past ideas about success, and practical mindset shifts to help you stop undervaluing yourself and start building a business that supports both your creativity and your bank account.
