Ever felt invisible in the mainstream narratives of art and media? What if you could see the most real and raw aspects of yourself celebrated through art? That's the kind of magic Mary Castillo brings to every human who steps in front of her lens.
Mary is a renowned photographer, educator, and lover of all things empowerment and feminism. Starting out with a borrowed camera and a heart full of curiosity, she quickly discovered her superpower: boudoir photography that makes everyone feel like a masterpiece.
In this episode we hear all about:
- Mary’s Path to Boudoir Photography: From stay-at-home mom to boudoir photography badass, Mary’s story is all about finding your passion in the most unexpected places.
- Finding Community and Mentorship: How a serendipitous mentorship in Minnesota became the cornerstone of Mary’s booming business and lifelong friendships.
- The Importance of Inclusivity in Art: Mary’s on a mission to show that beauty isn’t a ‘one-size-fits-all’. Her studio is a no-judgment zone where every BODY is celebrated.
- Using Social Media to Promote Her Work: How Mary uses Instagram and TikTok to show off her stunning work and build a community that’s all about authenticity and love.
- Real Talk: Mary gets candid about the ups and downs of her journey, including her battle with postpartum depression and how it shapes her work and empathy.
Art is a mirror that reflects the beautiful diversity of the human experience. Mary's approach to photography and art challenges norms, celebrates diversity, and sparks a conversation about what it means to truly see ourselves as the art that we are.
