## Resource

Episode 13 - For any household with Swifties, the number 13 has special meaning. So for this 13th episode of Photography is Nothing, Zach & Courtney invite their daughters to discuss the meaning and evolution of Taylor Swift's album art through the eras. As Taylor Swift worked her way from teen country artist to international pop phenomenon, her album photography changed, too. It's no surprise that while she was taking control of her music and image, she also played larger roles in the direction of her photography. Today, we'll go through the various photoshoots for her 12 albums and talk about how the photography reflects the mood and themes of the albums. We get into the photography of The Eras Tour as well. “Photography is nothing–it's life that interests me.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson Index 0:00 - Taylor Swift Album Photography Intro 2:32 - Our girls' favorite photos 6:23 - Debut (2006) - 📷 Andrew Orth 9:50 - Fearless (2008) - 📷 Joseph Anthony Baker, Ash Newell, and Sheryl Nields 12:52 - What does Taylor's Version mean? 15:40 - Fearless (Taylor's Version) - 📷 Beth Garrabrant 17:23 - Speak Now (2010) - 📷 Joseph Anthony Baker 19:41 - Speak Now (Taylor's Version) - 📷 Beth Garrabrant 21:10 - Red (2012) - 📷 Lowfield* 24:09 - Red (Taylor's Version) - 📷 Beth Garrabrant 25:53 - 1989 (2014) - 📷 Lowfield 30:45 - 1989 (Taylor's Version) - 📷 Beth Garrabrant 32:21 - Reputation - 📷 Mert & Marcus** 40:21 - Lover - 📷 Valheria Rocha 46:02 - Folklore - 📷 Beth Garrabrant 54:02 - Evermore - 📷 Beth Garrabrant 56:54 - Midnights - 📷 Beth Garrabrant 1:03:14 - The Tortured Poets Department - 📷 Beth Garrabrant 1:07:20 - The Life of a Showgirl - 📷 Mert & Marcus 1:15:55 - The Eras Tour Photography 1:20:53 - The Eras Tour Indianapolis N2 Outfits 1:24:00 - Did The Eras Tour photograph…
