As a busy mom of three and the founder of Chaos N' Cookies, keeping moms from crumbling is my main objective. After gaining 10+ years of experience as a Director of Marketing helping build multiple 6 & 7-figure businesses for other women I've created the Chaos Control System to equip moms to overcome their own objections so they can live the life they want to live and start that business they have always wanted. The Family Playbook, or standard operating procedure, is the tool every mama needs to save time and stress-less when chaos ensues at home. For new biz owners, I also help simplify systems on social media and other business platforms to automate processes to get their business up and running quickly and efficiently with how-tos and hands-on coaching.

This is a show I have been thinking about doing for a while, and that I believe is an important subject for both new and veteran music photographers…. BUT even if you're not a music photographer, this subject should matter to you. I think it applies to anyone negotiating prices. I have strong opinions on what the ASMP has referred to as "Predatory" Releases, and there's no question that I have an opinion on the message I want to get out on this episode, but, it is my show, so I get to do that. If you're not a Music Photographer, and have never heard of photo releases - note that these are NOT model releases - then don't worry. I explain what they are, and why they exist, in the show. Then I am joined by two other music photographers... My buddy David Bergman is a Canon Explorer of light, and hosts the show Ask David Bergman on Adorama TV. There are few people I know of that know more about photography than David, from his days shooting for the famed Miami Herald newspaper, to having 13 Sports Illustrated covers, David is a big deal. He has been Luke Combs' full-time tour photographer since January 2019, and Bon Jovi's tour photographer since 2010. So glad that we get to benefit from his years of experience in media and music photography for this show. Oh yeah... David's workshops, like Shoot From the Pit and his upcoming Italy trip, are great chances to hang out and learn photography. Also on the show we have Montreal based Music Photographer Marie Demeire. I have followed Marie on socials for years, but today is my first time meeting her face-to-face. Known around the net as "Marie Goes To Shows", she has been published in Complex, EDM.com, Bandcamp, iHeartRadio Canada, Canadian Beats, 99Scenes, Sors-Tu, the MUHC Foundation, Secret Melbourne and BP Arts Media. Having been a fan of her work for years, I am thrilled to be able to get her perspective on this subject.

And then there is also a totally selfish need to see it for myself. It feels compulsive. And not like in ‘this is my calling and I'm gonna save the world', but like it's compulsive enough to make you get on a plane to go to a country that's quite dangerous and in horrific turmoil. ”

There are times when I see a photographer's work that I have an emotional response, a feeling that I am seeing something special. That's what happened the first time I browsed through Victoria Will's website. Photo after photo there was something.... with impact. That doesn't happen very often. Victoria's career in photography began as a photojournalist, but has now moved to a focus on celebrity portraiture, editorial, and commercial assignments. That beginning, however, is readily obvious. Her images feel spontaneous, like she just happens to be there with a camera while some A List actor, or Hall of Fame musician. happened to be posing. Victoria's portraits just feel honest and authentic. Victoria's images have appeared in the pages of some of the top publications, including Vogue, The New York Times, and Rolling Stone, ESPN and W Magazine. Commercial campaigns for brands like Carhartt, Levis, Netflix, Hulu, Epix, AT&T, Bose, Samsung, Ralph Lauren, and Miller High Life have also used her work. Her About Page says that her approach is "rooted in collaboration and meaningful connection where she seeks intimacy, authenticity, and elegance with a thoughtful eye and composition". I would probably just describe her work as magic, but I guess her wording is probably better for the website. You don't get to this level of success, and talent, without other people noticing, and she has a crazy collection of awards. Victoria has been recognized by American Photography, PDN Photo Annual, and Communication Arts, and her imagery has been the subject of both solo and group exhibitions internationally. Her first monograph, Borne Back, a collection of tintype portraits, was published in 2017 by Peanut Press. Tintype photography is something I know very little about, or more accurately, nothing at all. Luckily for all of us, Profoto has a video on their YouTube channel documenting the process. You can check out "Victoria Will Shoots the Stars at Sundance" here. In 2023, Victoria became one of the newest members of the Canon Explorer of Light program, an honor I will say is so very well deserved. She is one of the best working today. Join Canon Explorer of Light Victoria Will and me as we explore tintype photography, and discuss her tintype image of famed actor Sam Shepard, on this Behind the Shot.

Rick Sammon has been referred to as the Godfather of Photography, because he is one of the best there is. He jokes that he "specializes in not specializing", but the reality is that he understands light, his gear, and his subjects so well that he can photograph pretty much anything at a world class level. I've learned so much from this guy over the years, and I still learn something almost every time I talk to him. It's no wonder he is so in demand. His classes on KelbyOne are detailed, and yet easily absorbable. He does workshops around the world, is so popular on this podcast that today is his seventh appearance! Rick Sammon is a legend, and I mean that in every sense of the word. Every time I talk with him I am amazed at how much he enjoys what he does, his photography, educating others, from amateurs to pros, and living life. Along with his wife Susan, Rick is honestly one of the best working today. An award winning photographer, Rick is a Canon Explorer of Light. A tireless, prolific and inspirational image-maker, he is one of the most active photographers I know. His enthusiasm for digital imaging is contagious, making photography fun, creative, exciting and rewarding for others. He even does private coaching.. Rick is also an author, with more photography books than anyone I know to his credit. I even have a small bit in a few of his books. Rick is an avid podcaster, and has built his Photo Therapy Facebook Group into a wonderful resource for photographers of all levels. I asked Rick once how he describes his photography, and he answered “evolving,” I kinda dig that description. He even hesitates to categorize his work. He does it all, and enjoys the freedom of not specializing. With as much experience as Rick brings to the table, this self-taught photographer has many accomplishments – and as Rick suggests, “When you are through changing, you are through". As many times as Rick has been on the show, I always want to remind people that Rick's partner is his wife Susan. While Rick seems to get the bulk of the attention, Susan deserves her own. Behind every successful person there is often a spouse, or special person that helps push them, guide them, and in many ways drive the success. I know that is the case for me, and in Rick's case that is Susan. She is there on his workshops, and she is often a co-author on his books. On this episode, Canon Explorer of Light Rick Sammon returns to talk about how you can get better wildlife photos, as we dive into his photo of the Zebra and Wildebeest crossing in Tanzania.

Rick and I talk about his art, philosophy and passion for taking photographs and teaching photography. We discuss travel photography, what gear you should bring on a trip, the value of the camera in the iPhone. Rick talks about the interrelationship of music and photography. His many books are available on Amazon.
David Bergman has been on the show many times. Along with twice on the normal shows, first back on Episode 48 for "Composition, Creativity, and Workflow", and then on Episode 137 for a "Making Better Action Photos", he was also a guest on Image Critique #9. His most recent spot was on the show about "The Best Photo Advice You've Ever Been Given". Today makes appearance number 3 on the normal shows. The other day David posted a shot to Instagram that immediately made me think of doing a show. In all the time I have been doing Behind the Shot I can think of two times where I found out during the show that a shot was done with a remote camera. In those cases I honestly thought the photographer may have been at the camera, mostly because the photos were from locations where a photographer could have been at the camera. Sometimes, however, a remote camera can get you into a position where you simply can't physically be. It maybe a safety issue, like up in the truss above a stage, or a space issue where you can't fit. The shot David posted was from the drum set during a Luke Combs show. Rarely, if ever, will you see a photographer sitting in front of the drum set during a major concert, but as David mentioned in the post, sometimes you come up with crazy ways to catch unique shots, shots that keep you interested when you're shooting the same show over and over again. That post made me realize that I had never done a show on the process of using a remote camera. I mean, I have touched on it with guests, but it's never been the focus of a show. That thought surprised me. Personally I have asked friends many times, including David, how they go about solving all of the challenges involved with mounting, focusing, and triggering a remote camera. Obviously there had to be others that wanted those answers too! Well, today is the day. David usually needs no introduction, and he's been on the show so many times at this point I will assume you know him well. If however, you are not aware of David, let me do a brief intro... he is a New York based commercial photographer and photo educator who specializes in action, music, and portraiture photography. He is also a world class educator. Having attended his "Shoot From the Pit" workshop, I would say he is one of the absolute best out there at teaching photography. His AdoramaTV show "Ask David Bergman" may be the best photography tutorial series there is. He is a born educator. David's current running tour gig is as the photographer for Luke Combs, one of the most successful country artists working today. As the official tour photographer for Bon Jovi and Luke Combs, he has documented bands on stage and on the road in more than 30 countries. He has also toured with Barenaked Ladies and Gloria Estefan, and has worked with Avril Lavigne and Joss Stone. Simply put, he is one of the top photographers working in the entertainment space today, so it's no surprise that he is also a Canon Explorer of Light. Join photographer David Bergman and me as we take a look at how he uses remote cameras to photograph stars like Luke Combs, from setup to the final shot, on this episode of Behind the Shot.

When professional sailor Onne van der Wal and his teammates circumnavigated the world aboard the Dutch boat FLYER during the 1981-82 “Whitbread Around the World Race”, he never expected it to be the launch of an epic 30+ year career as a professional marine photographer. His sparse racing gear allowance didn't leave much room for his novice camera kit that the camera company had given to him to document his teams amazing voyage so he had to talk his way into getting it on board. Listen to him tell about how after winning the race, his unique and impressive photos from his extraordinary race were sought after. Sailing and adventure magazines flocked to van der Wal to gain access to his images and the rest is history; He hung up his sea boots and took to a life and career photographing the yachting world rather than competing in it. Onne, a native Dutchman raised in Cape Town, South Africa, is an award winning nautical photographer and icon in the photography world. He is a Canon Explorer of Light; a prestigious invitation-only group of 35 pro shooters from around the globe. He has produced and shot commercial ads and stories for some of the biggest players in the sailing, power boat and shipping industry worldwide. If you've seen a photo of a boat, chances are you've seen Onne's work. Seriously. We've known each other as long time colleagues here in Newport, Rhode Island, where he and his wife also run a successful gallery of his fine art work. Listen as we sit down to talk about his extraordinary life of sailing, seeing, shooting and epic adventures on the high seas. Here are some things you'll discover in this episode: Deep wisdom and practical tools to reinvent yourself within your career and stay relevant over time.How his culture, experiences and lust for ocean adventure shaped him.Advice for photographers of all levels on how to see in new ways, generate multiple income streams and better understand the business of shooting.How to keep your creativity fresh when it's your day job.and so more…like why everyone needs a wife… shout out to Tenley van der Wal ;) Enjoy!

At WPPI this year I ran into Vanessa Joy, my first time meeting her in person. We chatted about the classes and workshops she was doing at the conference, and the friend I was with suggested that I get her on the show again. I had such a great time when Vanessa was on the show the first time, talking about how to Elevate Your Wedding Photography, that when she agreed to do it I jumped at the chance. As I was thinking about this show, I knew that I wanted to do something different than the first one. She is a world renowned wedding photographer, and a Canon Explorer of Light, so there had to be a way I could approach this show uniquely. That's when it hit me... Every show we take one image and explore and dissect the multiple aspects required to make the image. From the planning and pre-visualization, to exposure, lighting, post production, posing and more. What if we reversed that process? What if we picked just one of those aspects and examined it through multiple working scenarios, using multiple image examples per scenario? Vanessa Joy is an expert in posing, so I knew what the main topic would be. She has a free Posing Inspiration Guide, and a Speed Posing Course at speedposing.com. The hard part was trying to find a way to approach posing on multiple levels. What I settled on was four photo shoot scenarios: Solo, Couples, Standard Groups, and Random Groups - let me explain... Solo Subjects would be anytime you have just one person in front of the camera; Couples would be when you have two subjects in front of the camera, whether they are actual couples or not; Standard Groups - OK I wasn't sure what to call it, but basically think of this as when you have a group of people on almost the same focal plane - like when you say "everyone get together"; and the last one is how I think of a band portrait, or a commercial type shoot - that's a Random Group, as in randomly placing subjects not only left to right, but forward and backwards on the Z axis. Obviously, we could go into every possible scenario you might encounter, but even then someone would say something crazy "I need the groom in a tree and the bride in a boat". There is just no way to cover every scenario, so we are going to do these four, with 3 different image examples per category. Since Vanessa is a wedding photographer, we are using mostly wedding type images here, but you can of course apply the concepts we discuss to any genre. And let me just add, when I say she is a world renowned wedding photographer, that there are only five Canon Explorers of Light in the field of Wedding Photography - just five, and Vanessa is one of them. Vanessa Joy photographs weddings from Austin and Dallas, TX, to New Jersey, New York City, and Manhattan, and of course is sought after for destination weddings. Her style is photojournalistic, and has led to multiple awards. Her work has been seen in The Knot, RangeFinder, Grace Ormonde, Brides, and more. As an educator, she has 11 classes on CreativeLive, and you can even buy her preset packs. And yes, she's an author, with her book "The Off-Camera Flash Handbook: 32 Scenarios for Creating Beautiful Light and Stunning Photographs" available now, and she has 3 new digital books: The Business Of Wedding Photography, Building & Marketing Your Wedding Business, and The Art Of Wedding Photography. Vanessa Joy is at the top of the wedding photography game, and I am so glad to have her on the show once again.

I have the feeling that Sam Abell has more stories than almost any photographer you know. Thirty-four years as a staff and contract photographer at National Geographic tends to have that effect. Sam is an Ohio based teacher, artist, and photographer. I would argue that his magic is that those three skills merge to create, in Sam, the perfect storyteller. His story started like many of my guests, learning photography from his father. It was after graduating from the University of Kentucky that Sam went to work for Nat Geo. That in and of itself is an accomplishment. Lots of up-and-coming photographers dream of being a Nat Geo photographer, but the odds of having that dream come true aren't ones I would bet on. For Sam however, it was a career that fit perfectly with his work. Having read, and listened to a few interviews with Sam, it's amazing to hear about his process. When he describes some photos taking minutes, and other 1.5 years to make, you start to understand... Sam makes photos in his head, often long before the photo is actually made. Sam has taken so many iconic images, including one for the Marlboro Man campaign that was famously appropriated by Richard Prince - and Sam's thoughts about being on his side of that situation have been widely covered. I won't be going into that in this show. As a Canon Explorer of Light, Sam is one of the elite photographers working today, and if you are going to attend a workshop I'd guess you could learn a ton from Mr. Abell. Links to all of his upcoming workshops are at his website here. Sam has authored a number of books too, but at the time of this show they are all sold out. Watch his site for any updates on that. Join Canon Explorer of Light, and National Geographic legend, Sam Abell and me as we discuss how the parts of an image work together to build the power of the final photograph, on this Behind the Shot.

Trying to write a post about Ryszard Horowitz has proven to be tougher than I had imagined. Ryszard Horowitz is a legend, literally. His life, and his journey through the art of photography, is almost impossible to distill down to a blog post. There is simply no way I do him, and his legacy, justice here. Still, I will try... Ryszard Horowitz was born in Krakow, Poland four months before the Nazis invaded his homeland, and his entire family ended up being sent to a series of concentration camps. Miraculously, they survived, and at the war's end they were amongst the few Jewish families who were able to re-establish their lives in Krakow. Ryszard is one of the youngest known survivors of Auschwitz, and to be listed on Schindler's list. His path to becoming the artist that he is started with studying art at the High School of Fine Arts in Krakow, before going on to mjor in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts. In 1956, when the government awarded subsidies to encourage new and original art forms, Krakow emerged as a center of avant-garde jazz, painting, theater and filmmaking. Ryszard, who was seventeen at the time, took full advantage of being at the heart of the action and consequently became fascinated with American photography. In 1959, he finally achieved his ambition of immigrating to the United States and enrolled at New York's famed Pratt Institute. While still a student at Pratt he was given a scholarship to be apprenticed to Alexey Brodovitch, one of the most influential figures in the world of editorial design and photography at the time. In 1967, having worked for a number of film and design companies and as an art director for Grey Advertising, he opened his own photography studio. Photography would be his lifelong career and passion. Ryszard's work has been exhibited, published and collected around the globe, and he has been awarded every major accolade that can be bestowed on a photographer. Take a few minutes to scroll through the list on his Bio page, it's amazing. His awards include the Gloria Artis Gold Medal of Merit to Culture Awarded by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Poland, and Doctor Honoris Causa Awarded by Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts. As a music photographer, his images of American jazz legends like Dave Brubeck, Aretha Franklin, Duke Ellington, Thelonios Monk, Count Basie, and Louie Armstrong are amazing. His creative works, in both analog and digital will blow your mind. He is recognized as a pioneer of special effects photography predating digital imaging - yes, before digital and photoshop - using techniques such as darkroom retouching, multiple film exposures and manipulation of his camera. His complex photographic composites have been compared to the surrealist artworks of Magritte and Dalí. A former Canon Explorer of Light, Ryszard is a current member of Canon Legends, and he was inducted to the International Photography Hall of Fame in November 2017. Go look at the names in the Hall of Fame... Ryszard is one of the best to ever practice this art.

Happy New Year!!! It's 2021 and it couldn't start off better on The Interview!Canon “Explorer of Light”, Joel Grimes, joins Craig Weinberg for a conversation ranging from hard work, family, creativity, photography, and more. Enjoy!
Rick met fellow Canon Explorer of Light, Erin Babnik at the Out of Oregon conference this past October. After singing and playing guitar around a campfire on the beach, Rick attended Erin's “Beyond Perfection” talk – and was impressed with her images and her presentation. They became friends immediately. In this interview Erin shares her thoughts on photography and creativity. She also talks about her workshops and an e-book – Photographing Through the Seasons – on which she collaborated with the pros from Photo Cascadia. Photo Cascadia consists of seven photographers: Erin Babnik, Sean Bagshaw, David Cobb, Adrian Klein, Kevin McNeal, Chip Phillips and Zach Schnepf. They are all from the Cascadia region and share the common interest of photographing the striking beauty of the outdoors, especially the Northwestern United States.

Let's start with the end first. When I asked Parish Kohanim what advice he would give to a photographer who aspires to make a real impact, his advice was succinct."Listen to your own voice... Don't listen to people. They will give you a hundred different opinions that don't speak your voice... Your intuition is the most powerful voice that you could listen to."That might seem like easy advice to dispense from a photographer with a resume like Parish has.Parish has been a commercial photographer for more than 30 years, working on campaigns for many Fortune 500 companies whose names you might recognize. His work has appeared in ads in Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Forbes, Time and many others. He has been a Canon Explorer of Light since 1994 when Canon launched the program worldwide. Parish was even summoned to Cupertino, CA, by Apple to help create their Aperture software.But there were other voices — a famous fashion designer who told him to give up photography because he had no future in it.

Let's start with the end first. When I asked Parish Kohanim what advice he would give to a photographer who aspires to make a real impact, his advice was succinct."Listen to your own voice... Don't listen to people. They will give you a hundred different opinions that don't speak your voice... Your intuition is the most powerful voice that you could listen to."That might seem like easy advice to dispense from a photographer with a resume like Parish has.Parish has been a commercial photographer for more than 30 years, working on campaigns for many Fortune 500 companies whose names you might recognize. His work has appeared in ads in Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Forbes, Time and many others. He has been a Canon Explorer of Light since 1994 when Canon launched the program worldwide. Parish was even summoned to Cupertino, CA, by Apple to help create their Aperture software.But there were other voices — a famous fashion designer who told him to give up photography because he had no future in it.
