S04 E03 - Overcoming Imposter Syndrome & Self Doubt as a Photographer (with Cass Edwards)

Cass Edwards is a Perth based sports photographer who has gone from shooting local ice hockey games to photographing major sporting events across Australia. In this episode of My Creative Journey, Mike digs into Cass’s journey, her rapid rise in the industry and the huge wave of self doubt and imposter syndrome that followed her even as her career took off. Cass talks openly about what it's like as a woman in a male dominated industry and why the pressure and comparison can hit harder behind the scenes than people realise.

Alongside the mindset conversations, the episode is packed with practical advice for breaking into sports photography, building a portfolio without elite access, learning gear under pressure and understanding how to find your place in a saturated and competitive field. Cass also shares insights on burnout, community, workflow, and the small daily habits that keep her grounded.
