How I’m Trying to Become Undeniable


CAPTURED - Weekly Newsletter

Becoming Undeniable

Hey Reader,

When you’re starting something new—or trying to take it more seriously—it can feel like no one’s really paying attention.

You’re posting your work… and it’s quiet.

No replies. No leads. No feedback.

I get it...

After moving country, I’ve been rebuilding from scratch.

New place, new people, new challenges.

And I’ve realised that the only way forward is to become undeniable.

What Does 'Undeniable' Actually Mean?

It’s not about being the best.

Or being everywhere.

It’s about becoming so consistent, thoughtful, and clear that your work starts speaking for you.

People don’t need convincing—they feel it.

They see the level of care.

They get a sense of where you’re going just by what you post.

Being 'undeniable' means showing up enough that people associate you with something specific:

a mood, a standard, a type of work.

And that comes from how you create, how you edit, how you carry yourself online + with clients.

Not all at once. But over time.

What This Looks Like in My World

Right now, I’m building proof—not for others, but to stay aligned with what I actually want.

I’m shooting slower.

Spending more time in post.

Revisiting how I use light, space, and story in every frame.

And I’m asking better questions:

Would I hire myself based on this?

Does this match the kind of client I want next?

By sharing the process, not just the final result, my goal is to build trust.

And that trust doesn’t come from a single photo.

It comes from creating a pattern over time.

A body of work that reflects care and direction.

The Four Pillars of Becoming Undeniable

1. Craft

Your photos should reflect care, both technically and emotionally.

Can you control light? Compose with purpose? Edit with consistency?

This doesn’t mean perfect.

But people can feel when a photo was made with intention.

That feeling is what sticks.

2. Consistency

If you only show up when you feel like it, it’s hard for anyone to take you seriously.

Consistency builds visibility.

Not just online, but in your own confidence.

You don’t need to post daily, but you do need to stay in motion.

3. Commitment

Photography is a journey, and it takes commitment.

Not to results, but to the process itself.

There are phases where nothing seems to move.

That’s where most people stop.

But staying in it when no one’s watching is where things start to shift.

4. Clarity

People can’t say yes if they don’t know what you do.

Do your photos show what you’re about?

Does your website reflect what you want more of?

You don’t have to box yourself in—but you do have to be understood.

Clarity makes you referable, hireable, and memorable.

There Are Levels to This

I’m not there yet.

But I’m further than I was.

And your version of undeniable might look different from mine, and that’s the point.

It’s not one standard. It’s personal.

Wherever you are, you can define what “undeniable” means at your level.

And that’s the best part, because it makes it accessible.

You can grow into it.

Work toward it.

Just don’t wait to be chosen.

Start choosing yourself now.

CAPTURED - Weekly Newsletter What the Camera Saw vs What I Saw ↓ Hey Reader, Earlier this week I posted a video sharing the setup vs the shots I captured in a project for an interior designer. And it gave me the idea to do the same here. To walk you through a few recent images, show you the setups, and then the final results. My goal is to share that there is a lot of thought that goes into the photos I create, and maybe give you some inspiration to approach your next shoot with a bit more...

CAPTURED - Weekly Newsletter Knowing Your Worth as a Creative ↓ Hey Reader, It’s crazy how often we creatives get asked to do more for less. If you’ve been doing this for a while, you know the feeling when you’re asked to produce a long list of deliverables for a number that makes you laugh (or cry). The question is: can you stand behind your worth even when it feels uncomfortable? That’s what I want to share today: how I handle low-ball offers, negotiations and the messy business side of...

CAPTURED - Weekly Newsletter Finding Your Edge: Photography Edition ↓ Hey Reader, I know that in this newsletter, I often discuss the technical aspects of photography. Equipment, tech, settings… but sometimes it’s worth looking at the less tangible things. The things that make us stand out aren’t always how we compose, edit, or what gear we use. It goes deeper. Everything we create on the outside is a reflection of the questions we ask ourselves on the inside. That’s what I want to talk about...
