Meg proves that a humble 16x20 space can produce strikingly bold, color-drenched work when it's designed with intention.\nMeg takes us behind the scenes of her creative process, showing how she painted each wall in her studio a different color to maximize versatility, and how she builds elaborate scenes — from a moss-covered \"overgrown room\" to a Beatles-inspired strawberry wall — using little more than antiques, gels, and an optical snoot. Along the way, she shares how she left a corporate marketing career to build a photography business rooted in classic Americana, color, and mood.\nWhether you're shooting out of a barn, a spare bedroom, or a corner of your living room, this episode is filled with inspiration for making the most of the space you have.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/nlWkCDjq6kOd7lRUACsPq9Kb72MUVXCtU2m1VE-pwCU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS84NTI0/MmQyMzg1ZTRlMDI0/MjUzOTM4ZmEzZDNh/OGJmNS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
