In this episode of The Result Show, David and Pete geek out over their love of photography—but not just for nostalgia. They draw powerful, practical parallels between cameras and the human mind, using submodalities and focus as metaphors for how NLP gives us manual control over our inner experience.

Whether you're a total NLP beginner or a seasoned practitioner, this episode is packed with golden insights:

Why you might be stuck on ‘auto mode’

How changing your internal pictures, sounds, and feelings changes everything

Why focus is your brain’s most important setting—and how to master it

This is one of the most vivid and accessible explanations of NLP's deeper mechanics—and it all starts with a Canon A1 and a monster Nikon.
