“Spotlight on Pedestal Photography”

“I am lucky enough to know two Black women who are destroying the old notions of what a photography business “should” be, and instead reaching for what it can be. I spoke to them over Zoom about their business, their inspirations, and why they do it in the first place.

Hearing them talk, you can tell they inspire each other. “Something that I’ve learned throughout college is that I have everything that I need right now,” said McDonald. “…The life I wanna live, I can do that right now. Why should I wait? I can’t count on the future happening to start living my life.” Thus, Pedestal was born."
