Creative Maintenance: Corinne Cumming

Referencing The Matrix as a symbol for everyday life definitely feels trite at this point. However, the prevalence of that does continue to feel appropriate, especially when describing scenarios that shake us at our core. In 2025, that could be as simple as a person sharing an experience where they weren’t their best selves, a time in their life when they weren’t ok. That’s the case with what you’ll be hearing on today’s episode with Corinne Cumming, a wildly successful photographer who’s worked with the BBC, Drag Race, any band you can think of, and is also the leader of Eurovision’s photography team.

Corinne is the kind of creative who lives and breathes the craft, but what happens when doing that isn’t the answer, and what lessons can you learn from dealing with those questions head-on? Thankfully, Corinne was willing to share her story and how she’s become a better creative for it.
