Courtney talks about how a first-year university darkroom session accidentally sparked a lifelong obsession with photography, why she almost always leaves her camera in the bag when she first arrives at a location, and how getting into macro completely changed the way she moves through a woodland. She gets into the mindfulness behind her process, what it actually takes to find a composition at extreme magnifications, and why having no goal at all is often the thing that unlocks her best work.
