In this episode, we dive into the idea of overdelivering. When it’s powerful, when it’s unnecessary, and how to decide which projects genuinely deserve more of your time and energy.

We kick things off with Cameron sharing updates on his 3D journey, finishing his drone project and stepping into more intentional portfolio work. He also touches on something that feels universal across creative industries, the familiar noise around “no work,” slow periods, and frustration, and how that mindset shows up just as much in 3D as it does in photo and video.

Matt breaks down his recent trip to South Africa, including the realities of travelling for shoots, navigating safety concerns in Johannesburg, and working under intense conditions, high heat, high altitude, and fast-moving environments while photographing elite athletes. This leads into a broader conversation around staying sharp, adaptable, and professional when working on location.

We also unpack the real heart of the episode: overdelivering as both a creative choice and a business decision. We discuss how to recognise which projects are worth pushing further, when overdelivering actually strengthens long-term relationships, and when it risks burnout or diminishing returns. We also talk about choosing images for yourself versus choosing images for the client, and how those decisions impact your portfolio and reputation.

We wrap up by discussing building rapport with talent, why trust and connection often lead to the best work on set, and how strategising on the best way to showcase and share your work is just as important as the core work itself.
