Welcome to another episode of the <b>Camera Queens | Find Your Focus</b> podcast. In today&apos;s solo episode, I dive deep into a topic close to my heart – ADHD and its unique intersection with the world of photography. </p><p>It&apos;s a personal journey, one that began with hesitations and shame but transformed into a celebration of neurodivergence. We&apos;ll explore the statistics, sharing both the diagnosed and undiagnosed rates of ADHD in Australia. I open up about my own struggles with time management, distractions, and the overwhelming feeling that many creatives with ADHD can relate to. But, here&apos;s the kicker – we&apos;re turning ADHD into a superpower. From hyper-focus to spontaneous creativity, this episode highlights the unique strengths ADHD can bring to photography. I&apos;ll share personal experiences, positive examples, and practical tips to navigate the world not designed for us. </p><p>Let&apos;s embrace creativity, break down barriers, and make ADHD work for us in the realm of stunning photography. </p><p>In this episode we cover:</p><ul><li>Explore the intersection of ADHD and photography, shedding light on the experiences of creatives with ADHD.</li><li>Initial reluctance to acknowledge neurodivergence, overcoming shame with the support of friends, and a discussion on labels.</li><li>Shared struggles with time management, distractions, and feeling overwhelmed by basic tasks.</li><li>Emphasis on turning ADHD into a creative superpower, highlighting benefits such as hyper-focus, creativity, spontaneity, and intuition.</li><li>Creativity as a superpower, capturing scenes in unconventional ways that evoke strong emotions.</li><li> Discussion on the advantages of spontaneity and impulsivity, leading to innovative outcomes in dynamic shooting environments.</li><li>Managing ADHD with time management tools, the Pomodoro technique, minimising distractions, and breaking down overwhelming projects. Emphasis on seeking support and accountability.</li><li>Encouragement for creatives with ADHD, providing practical insights and a positive perspective on navigating challenges in the photography world.</li></ul><p>Resources and links mentioned in this episode:</p><ul><li><b>Ways to work with Belle:</b><a href='https://www.belleverdiglione.com.au/'><b> belleverdiglione.com.au</b></a><b> </b></li><li><b>Belle Verdiglione’s Instagram:</b><a href='https://www.instagram.com/belleverdiglione/'><b> @belleverdiglione</b></a><b> </b></li><li><b>Camera Queens Facebook:</b><a href='https://www.facebook.com/thecameraqueens'><b> @thecameraqueens</b></a><b> </b></li><li><b>Camera Queens Instagram: </b><a href='https://www.instagram.com/the_cameraqueens/'><b>@the_cameraqueens</b></a><b> </b></li><li><a href='https://www.belleverdiglione.com.au/Referral'><b>Discounts for photographers</b></a></li></ul><p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/2272523/support">Support the show</a></p><p><br/>🎙Hey rad AF human, thanks for being part of the Camera Queens community.
