Shooting an entire wedding with just 360 film photos made me a better photographer than taking thousands of digital images ever could. This limitation forced me to be present, trust my eye, and shoot with purpose rather than panic.

• Film photography required intentionality—every frame had weight, every click had a cost
• Out of 360 frames, I'd typically lose only 30-40 shots and deliver 80-100 final images
• Digital freedom became a trap—shooting 3,000 images but still only delivering 100 keepers
• The editing process became overwhelming and mentally draining
• Eventually returned to the film mindset while using digital equipment
• Shooting with purpose rather than volume creates clarity and connection for clients
• Limited frames make you pay attention and create something that lasts

We’ll queue for phones and repost strangers. But go quiet when our own mates take a shot at something real.

In this episode of Hey Georgie, Pete George unpacks the awkward truth behind why we hesitate to support friends, especially when they’re just starting.

It’s not about likes. It’s about showing up, standing beside them, and saying, “Go on. I see you.”

If you’ve ever felt unseen while building something meaningful — or guilty for not backing someone you believe in — this one’s for you.

In this episode, Pete George—better known to some as Georgie—opens the door to where this all began.

At 59, he’s starting again. But not from scratch. From experience.

This is a raw, honest reflection on the years behind the camera, the battles most people never see, and the reason he’s finally going all in on storytelling through Peter George Media.

It’s not just about photography.

It’s about reinvention. Mental illness. Holding on to your spark when the world goes quiet.

If you’ve ever wondered how to start over—or if your story’s still worth telling—this one’s for you.

In this episode, I open up about more than just photography.

This is where it started — not with a business plan, but with a bloke holding a camera, trying to make sense of the world.

For me, photography’s never just been a job. It’s been the thing that’s kept me going. A lifeline during some of the darkest seasons of my life — especially the ones I didn’t talk about for years.

I get real about living with mental illness, and how pressing the shutter helped me hold onto something when everything else felt too heavy. This episode isn’t polished or perfect — it’s honest. Just like the work I try to create.

I talk about where I’ve been, but also where I’m heading — the shift from being just a photographer to becoming a storyteller. Pete George Media isn’t just a name on a screen. It’s the space I’ve built to share stories that matter — the quiet ones, the messy ones, the ones that don’t always get heard.

This podcast is part of that.

It’s not about fame or likes.

It’s about connection.

It’s about showing up — even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

If you’ve ever felt like you were starting over… or wondering if what you do still matters — this one’s for you.
