Eduardo Pavez Goye of www.eduardopavezgoye.com writes scripts, direct plays, sings in a band and shoots film. He was a wedding photographer for a couple of years, but that's not why I reached out to him for this interview.
He grew up in Chile and left in 2013. Since then, he's lived in Germany, the UK and is currently completing a PhD of Theatre and Performance at Columbia University, in New York.
I stumbled across Eduardo on YouTube and subscribed to his channel, along with 80,000 others and love his approach to photography. In particular, his approach to personal projects.
In this interview, the plan was to explore more about his creative pursuits, the way he works at bettering himself and learning new skills – from learning how to shoot new cameras, creating zines, his YouTube Channel and more.
From shooting film, getting to know new photography equipment like a pro, photographing protests and other personal projects, staying creative, monetising a YouTube channel… and so much more – it's all here in this episode with a photographer you'll be glad you got to know.
Here's some more of what we cover in the interview:

It's impossible for me to write if I don't practice writing… photography's just the same. If you don't practice with a camera, you'll get stuck. Eventually you're still repeating the same thing. You'll be playing the same song over and over. – Eduardo Pavez Goye

iTunes Reviews and Shout-outs
Each week I check for any new iTunes reviews and it's always a buzz to receive these… for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, it's confirmation that I'm on the right track with the interviews and that they really are helping you improve your photography business. That's awesome!
Secondly, iTunes is the biggest search engine when it comes to podcasts and it's your reviews and ratings that help other photographers find PhotoBizX. More listeners mean more interviews and ultimately a better show.
If you have left a review in the past, thank you! If you haven't and you'd like to, head to https://photobizx.com/itunes and you can leave some honest feedback and a rating which will help both me and the show and I'll be sure to thank you on the show and add a link to your website or blog if you let me know the URL of your website and your name.
When you know you're lacking something, and you need to get better at something and you know, and the only way you can do it is by actually doing the thing that you don't want to do but you have to do it, then the only thing you have left is your willpower to make it happen. – Eduardo Pavez Goye
Alternatively, if you've left a review for PhotoBizX and are looking for more backlinks to help your SEO, leave a review for the new Photography Xperiment Podcast and email me your keywords or keyword phrase and where you'd like me to link to.
Another great way to get a backlink to your site is to send a video testimonial. It doesn't need to be fancy and your phone will be perfect. Click record and tell me how PhotoBizX has made a difference to you and your photography business.
The Daily Vlog Challenge – Starts TODAY! It's NOT too late to register.
Why utilise video in your photography business? The number one reason – to make a personal connection with our prospective client, faster than ever before.
You can do this with video on your website, email replies with video plus advertising and retargeting with video.
There is no faster way to make a connection than you talking to your clients via video.
If you generally book most of the clients you meet with face to face, imagine building that bond earlier in your process and before other local photographers. It'll mean more bookings for you. Fantastic right? As long as you can be yourself and make the same kind of connection you do in person. And you can!
