Podcast Title: Looking Back to See Forward: What Season Two Taught Me

Podcast: In Focus with Ken Clough Photography

Host: Ken Clough, Wedding Photographer & Storyteller

Episode Summary: Season finales aren’t about wrapping things up neatly — they’re about pausing long enough to notice what stayed with us.

In this Season Two finale of In Focus with Ken Clough Photography, Ken reflects on the questions, conversations, and creative lessons that quietly shaped the season. From finding and trusting your voice, to photography as connection rather than performance, to the importance of renewal, collaboration, and lived experience, this episode looks back not to summarize, but to understand.

Ken shares what surprised him most this season, how reflective episodes resonated more deeply than instructional ones, and how slowing down has sharpened the way he photographs weddings, collaborates with clients, and approaches creative work.

This episode also serves as a gentle bridge into Season Three, a season that will explore legacy, leadership, long-view creativity, and the stories that stay with us over time.

If you’re a photographer, creative, or anyone drawn to thoughtful storytelling, this is an episode meant to be sat with, not rushed through.

Key Segments:

• Why Season Two existed — and why reflection mattered
• Finding and trusting your creative voice
• Photography as connection, not performance
• Creativity, burnout, and the importance of renewal

Episode Title: Through the Lens at MAGFest: How Collaborative Storytelling Resets Creativity

Podcast: In Focus with Ken Clough Photography

Host: Ken Clough, Photographer, Visual Storyteller

Episode Summary: In this episode of In Focus with Ken Clough Photography, I reflect on returning to MAGFest and how photographing cosplayers in an unscripted, high-energy environment has become one of the most powerful creative resets in my work. Stepping outside my usual photography settings—weddings, portraits, and editorial work—forces me to let go of routine, respond instinctively, and truly see again.

Photographing cosplay at MAGFest is a lesson in collaborative storytelling. Cosplayers aren’t just subjects—they’re creators who bring intention, identity, and emotion to every interaction. In this episode, I explore what cosplay photography teaches me about trust, generosity, working in chaos, and why the best images happen when control loosens and collaboration leads.

This episode is for photographers and creatives who feel stuck in routine, who are searching for renewed inspiration, or who believe that growth happens when we step outside our comfort zone. MAGFest reminds me that creativity is renewed through curiosity, respect, and shared storytelling—and those lessons carry back into everything I photograph.

Key Segments:

• ​Returning to MAGFest as a Creative Reset
• ​Leaving the Comfort Zone on Purpose
• ​Cosplay as Collaborative Storytelling
• ​What Cosplayers Teach Us About Seeing People
• ​Chaos as a Classroom
• ​Resetting Creativity Through Generosity
• ​Carrying Creative Lessons Back Into Professional Work
• ​An Invitation to Collaborate at MAGFest
