The Intersection of Creativity and Empowerment, with Tigz Rice

*Contains some strong language

Welcome to the second episode in the Summer Series of The Wilderness of Creativity, with visionary empowerment photographer, Tigz Rice (@tigzrice.branding).

Tigz Rice is an empowerment photographer, who helps others re-connect with their bodies & feel empowered, confident & unapologetically present in both their personal & professional adventures. Combining editorial photography with her signature style of retouching, Tigz's photography supports her clients to reconnect and/or reclaim their bodies after life-changing events including cancer, surgery, trauma & abuse. She also actively works with her clients to promote self-worth & a positive body image. In 2019 she published her award-winning book STRIP/TEASE, documenting a decade of work within the burlesque community. In 2021 she was named as one of Digital Women's Top 40 Digital Women To Watch, making the shortlist for Digital Woman of the Year. In 2022 she was shortlisted for Digital Creator of the Year, and in 2023 she was named one of the UK’s most inspirational & dynamic female entrepreneurs by the f:Entrepreneur ‘#ialso100’ campaign in partnership with Small Business Britain.

Key discussion points:

  • The empowering nature of photography, which can bring a sense of joy and fulfilment to one's life.
  • Building a strong brand and being open to new opportunities that align with your goals and values.
  • Standing out in a competitive creative industry by embracing self-confidence and showcasing your unique strengths and talents.
  • Making time for playfulness and celebrating small victories along the way, rather than just focusing on the end goal.

Thank you for listening!
