Conversations with Meg Granados

Today we’d like to introduce you to Meg Granados.

Hi Meg, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Truly, I finally feel like I am where I am meant to be in life and with my photography company, Little Medusa Media. I grew up in complete chaos and continued to live in it for so much of my life. I craved connection, art, and magic– always. I already knew life could be horrible and scary, but I also knew how deeply beautiful and powerful it could be. I have always been full of ideas and love, but my jobs always wanted me to talk less, hide my tattoos, and conform. I was a glittering, bright light surrounded by a lot of gray. There was no magic and I knew I was meant for more. Now, I’m in my “more” and loving every minute.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It certainly has not been a smooth road! There was a specific obstacle that shaped my life dramatically. In 2019, I was in a complete freak accident where my achilles was crushed at work when a woman riding an electric scooter ran over the back of my ankle. The injury was serious because my foot was trapped while I fell, twisting, breaking, and tearing parts of my foot and ankle. My life would never be the same again. After being fired for the permanent physical impairment, I entered the lowest part of my life. Unable to walk, I crawled around my apartment, hopeless. I met new demons and had to face many old ones. I drank my way further into that darkness. Eventually, I had to make a decision– to give-up or get up. Now, 6 years later and sober, I am so thankful I chose to get up. I have tears in my eyes because I am truly so thankful I did not give up. Now, I get to create my own magic and share that with people who appreciate me for exactly who I am.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
Some people are photographers, but I am an artist. I have had so much fun creating images that look AI, but are real. Gluing forty little flowers to my face or recreating the ghostface trend with real styling and props is such a fun way to create in a world polluted with ai images.
Additionally, I create an environment that allows people’s most authentic selves to show up in their portraits. I am driven to capture unique angles and candid shots. My edits stand out because I work tirelessly on the details. I have very high standards and that shows in both my reviews and my portfolio.

We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you?
For years, I believed I was plagued by bad luck. What if I had just been assigned to a different cash register the day of my accident? Well, I’d still be stuck between those grey walls. I truly believe that day was the luckiest day of my life. It forced me to recreate myself. I got sober. I finally get to make art and magic. I am so lucky to have my wonderful husband, who encourages and supports my dreams so loudly and behind the scenes. I get to connect, create, learn, and excel. People hire me on the most important days of their lives to capture their special memories from my point of view. My personality gets to shine after so many years of people trying to diminish it. I am so lucky.
