From IG to E3: Captain Dangerous on Life as a Professional Merchandise Photographer

This is a preview for a Patreon-only episode, where Ky "Captain Dangerous" Parker describes how she became a professional merchandise photographer with Nintendo, Good Smile, Critical Role, and others. From her first invitation to E3, to an emotional experience at the Good Smile headquarters, this episode is full of stories you won't want to miss. We also speak with Bridget about her incredible collection of Kirby memorabilia, including one very rare Kirby plush worth hundreds of dollars. It's a fun and funny look behind the scenes of how video games get promoted and the popularity of miniature art around the world—from fake food to film sets.

For the full episode, you can join us on Patreon, where you can also receive other bonus content, digital events, physical prints of Ky's photos, and more! We also offer a Video Game Subscription and Video Game Subscription Deluxe, where you'll receive regular video games, from mainline Nintendo titles to exciting indie games, just for supporting the show. You can check out all the reward tiers, and even join for free, at: www.patreon.com/KirbyConversations
