It is a very common question, and for good reason.

Making a career in conservation photography can feel daunting. There's no road map. There's no right way to do it. You really have to navigate and figure out how in the world you create a successful career as a conservation photographer.

But the thing is, it's possible - and my guest today proves it.

In this episode, Lauren talks about what she's been doing over these last few years to forge that career. What are the moves she's made? What's gone right? What's gone wrong? What is she focusing on?
