photographer, multi-hypenate creator & occasional époque model
San Francisco, CA
some people can’t help themselves — creativity just bubbles from within. in good times, in bad times, in somewhere-in-between times. like Laura Nethercutt, a crazy-chic photographer (just look at her!) slash postcard entrepreneur (“for those who wander and those who wonder”) slash occasional époque model (just look at her!) (no, really: she’s on our homepage!): “it’s been a couple of years like no other. perhaps that’s fertile ground for an outpouring of creativity.” here’s how she does it.
“i am creating, which is a professional endeavor, and it fills me up personally and passionately. i’ve been a photographer by trade for as long as i can remember, and the evidence of that is all over my home. i’ve recently launched a line of postcards, an endeavor born of both pandemic and divorce.”
“i was always on it, but felt distracted. it took a divorce to clarify my desire to create.”
“simplicity. there's beauty in that. also, the pulse and energy of the world around me. the obvious helps, too.”
“what am i waiting for? i’m cooking it — time to serve it hot!”
“make your subject(s) comfortable in who they are and what they bring, and they'll give you your best shot.”
“get out there! also: find your yellow brick road. (five words!)”
“time moves, whether we are masked or vaxxed. get to those you love and to the things you like to do — with intent, enthusiasm and gratitude.”
“probably my Peets, every single day.”
