Sports enthusiasts from around the world will soon be glued to their nearest viewing screen, watching the action unfold during the international Summer Olympic Games in Paris.   But how much do you know about the finer points of photographing elite level competition, or about the lightning-fast, high-tech journey these images make from inside a camera to a remote editing workflow, and then onward to be enjoyed by you, the viewer?   In today's podcast we've got the inside track on how these visual delicacies are brought to life and served up to global audiences. Our guests are Getty Images Chief Photographer Maddie Meyer and Managing Editor James Chance, who runs Getty Images' editing operations in Europe.   We start with Maddie, who details the advance preparations and complex logistics required to ensure the success of 60 Getty Images photographers on the ground in Paris, alongside a sizable amount of remote and robotic gear. In the show's second half, James describes the impressive synergy between the photographers on site and the massive team of photo editors he's assembled to work remotely from London and in other locations around the world—a complex infrastructure that's a first for the agency.   Immerse yourself in the passion for sports and learn what it takes to capture images that set you apart from the pack.   As Maddie Meyer sums up, “That's where the real challenge comes in. And that's where I would say it's really difficult. But that's where knowing the athletes comes in, knowing the way they move, knowing their rituals before they get in the pool, knowing some of the dynamics between the athletes, where you can really kind of pick up on the minutia to try and make something special.” Guests: Maddie Meyer & James Chance Episode Timeline: 3:37: Maddie's college internship at Getty Images, and her experiences as a woman shooting sports. 8:30: Plans for covering the Paris Games, and details about the Getty Images team. 11:56: Maddie's aquatics specialty and details about photographer assignments. 16:23: A question of shooting strategy: going for maximum volume vs anticipating more and shooting less. 22:37: Dedicated cameras vs remotes and robotic equipment, plus Maddie's go-to gear: A Canon R3 mirrorless and 28-70 mm f/2 lens. 28:23: Episode Break  29:35: The synergy and trust between photography and photo editing teams. 33:28: Logistics of staff photographers, remotes, and robotic cameras on the ground to capture the Paris Games  38:28: Details about Getty Images remote photo editing staff in the UK during the Paris games, and their three-stage editing process. 43:33: The technical tools—hardware and software—powering the Getty Images workflow and file management process. 1:00:58: The most important qualities in a Getty Images photo editor. Guest Bios: Maddie Meyer is a chief photographer for Getty Images based in—but not geographically limited to—Boston, Massachusetts. She joined the Getty Images team in January 2015, after earning a Bachelor of Science degree in photojournalism from Ohio University. Maddie's assignments range from covering New England's professional sports teams to international travel covering events such as the Men's and Women's World Cup, the FINA World Swimming championships and the Olympic Games in Rio and Pyeongchang. Her pictures are continually published in major metropolitan newspapers, magazines, and websites worldwide, including ESPN, the New York Times, Sports Illustrated, the Washington Post, among many other media outlets. Equally skilled as a photographer, James Chance began his editing career as a freelancer in London. He currently serves as the managing editor for Getty Images Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. He works to train and schedule the editing team, as well as plan editing for major events such as the Women's World Cup in Australia, and the Paris Olympic Games. James helped to create the vision for Getty Images remote editing plan, where photo editors will be working out of the company's London office, while the photographers will be in Paris.  Stay Connected: Maddie Meyer Website: https://www.maddiemeyerphoto.com/ Maddie Meyer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maddiemeyer2/ James Chance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jameschance_5 Getty Images Website: https://www.gettyimages.com/ Samsung T7 Shield Portable SSD: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1742972-REG/samsung_mu_pe4t0s_am_4tb_t7_shield_portable.html

Have you noticed that a basic food photographer can have a thriving business and Have you also noticed that a brilliant photographer may not really be making enough in their business?This is more common than you might think. Photography talent is very different from business acumen. They're both completely different skill sets and just because we are good at photography doesn't automatically imply we'll have a profitable business.Yes, it begins with us falling in love with photography. That step is a must to be able to even start a business, but once we are in it, the real game begins. Just like any other business, the reality of running a photography business is more than meets the eye.It might look like all we have to do is take photos for clients, but that's not what a successful photography business is only about. In this week's episode, we continue our conversation with the NYC based Italian food photographer, Fracensco Sapienza, to learn more about the unseen realities of being a full-time food photographer.This episode is hot & fiery as we dive into pricing, scaling your business, how to make it bigger by working less, client work, pitching to big brands, how to meet the profit and success we dream of when we set up a business etc.If you're thinking of moving to full-time photography or wanting to grow the business you already have, become informed about the path ahead and empower yourself for success. Just because there are challenges, doesn't mean there aren't ways to overcome them. Being aware of those challenges and having realistic expectations is a large part of meeting success in our business. What looks easy on the outside is way more complicated on the inside. But there is no stopping if we decide that a photography business is what we want. Just like we build careers in the corporate world, it takes time and effort to build a career in the business world too.And just because we are artists, doesn't mean we are destined to live the image of the “starving artist”.Let's be successful business owners and passionate artists.Learning from someone else's struggles and being prepared for curveballs puts us in a strong position to live the dream we so badly desire.Submit a voice question HERE and be featured on the podcast  Read more at https://myfoodlens.comFollow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens/ Show notes available https://myfoodlens.com/87-the-hidden-realities-of-being-a-professional-food-photographer-with-francesco-sapienza-part-2/Download free resourcesThe 5 steps to visual storytelling https://myfoodlens.ck.page/b0ea86cef6The 10-step photoshoot https://myfoodlens.com/the-10-step-photoshoot-guide/Write that pitch https://myfoodlens.ck.page/writethatpitch

What do you think it takes to be a successful commercial food photographer?Excellent camera skills?High level of Creativity? Crazy passion for photography?Expensive photography equipment? What if I told you, none of the above are deal breakers to be a commercial photographer.It takes more than camera skills, creativity and passion to run a photography business.Most of us get into food photography because we love food or have a passion for photography but running a successful and profitable photography business is a completely different game and definitely not a piece of cake.In this week's podcast we are getting as raw and real as it gets.We are peeling back the layers & sharing the truth of being a commercial food photographer with our guest, Francesco Sapienza, a food photographer based in NYC.He's worked with huge names like the New York Times, Smithsonian Books, Rizzoli publications, Whole foods market etc. and is sharing how to build a photography business in a competitive market and the challenges to expect.We talk about the different kinds of projects under commercial food photography, how to transition from part-time to full-time photography, the secret ingredient to set up a business, how to add & price your services, rejection in business, whether to get an agent, how to market yourself in a competitive market etc.If you want a real peek into the opportunities and challenges of being a commercial food photographer, this episode is for you.  Being able to take a good photo is only a small part of a photography business. Photography is the learnable part but there are many more parts that go into making it a profitable business. Ever seen an iceberg? We see a small part of the iceberg above water but the majority is below the surface. A food photography business is exactly like that. What we see on social media or hear professionals talk about is only the part of the business above the surface. There is a large part we don't see or hear about. In this week's episode, we're pulling that large part of the iceberg out of the water so that you can see it in its entirety.Not to discourage you though but to prepare you. This episode is full of truth bombs that will help you in your journey and set you up for success. It will help you anticipate challenges, identify opportunities and embrace change better.Submit a voice question HERE and be featured on the podcast  Read more at https://myfoodlens.com Follow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens Show notes available https://myfoodlens.com/Download free resourcesThe 5 steps to visual storytellingThe 10-step photoshoot Write that pitch 

While Joshua Irwandi was born and raised in Indonesia, the early pictures he made during his first visit to the region of Asmat, in the province of West Papua, were less than satisfying to him. Yet his fascination with the people and the place stuck, inspiring him to embark on the long-term project Not a Blank Canvas. In this third installment of our monthly series, Picturing World Cultures, we speak with Irwandi about his experiences documenting the people and landscape of Asmat, which offers a window into long-held traditions and the sweeping changes he's observed there over the past 10 years. Listen in as Irwandi describes how tapping into the region's rich history through museum collections holding Asmat art proved an important part of his background research. We also discuss the connections he forged with the local Catholic church, and how the many years an American missionary spent learning about and embracing local ways led to a blending of Catholic celebrations and iconography with traditional Asmat feasts. Contrary to western holidays, Asmat feasts are celebrated for months on end, and Joshua sheds light on their mystical origins through dreams, and the performative rituals that he was privileged to witness and photograph.  In equal measure, he touches on the changing roles of a people who are essentially subsistence hunter gatherers within contemporary society, and the recent effects of transmigration and gentrification on the region's native inhabitants, which also forms a part of his documentation. Self-described as a naturally shy person, Irwandi's approach to making pictures for this project is to play the long game, while planning for longer visits that allow him to be a “constant observer,” as he describes it.   “I don't pretend I have all the knowledge,” he says. “But I guess it's easier to come and connect with the locals when you walk in like a new blank piece of book, wanting to learn, rather than assume that you know about them already.” If you haven't already heard them, prior episodes of our podcast series Picturing World Cultures can be accessed at the links below:  Wayne Quilliam discussing Australia's indigenous communities: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/podcasts/photography/picturing-world-cultures-wayne-quilliam-australiatasmania  Kiana Hayeri reflecting on her work in Iran and Afghanistan: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/podcasts/photography/picturing-world-cultures-kiana-hayeri-iran-afghanistan Guest: Joshua Irwandi Above photograph © Joshua Irwandi For more information on our guest and the gear he uses, see: https://blogd7.bhphotovideo.com/explora/podcasts/photography/picturing-world-cultures-joshua-irwandi-indonesia Stay Connected: Joshua Irwandi Website: https://www.joshuairwandi.com/ Joshua Irwandi Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshirwandi/ Joshua Irwandi Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshua.irwandi/ Joshua Irwandi X: https://twitter.com/joshirwandi/ Asmat Museum of Culture and Progress: https://asmatmuseum.org/en/ Joshua Irwandi National Geographic Explorers Page: https://explorer-directory.nationalgeographic.org/joshua-irwandi Joshua Irwandi's story for The Globe and Mail: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-how-to-move-a-capital-city-an-exclusive-look-at-indonesias-plan-to/ Pulitzer Prize page for Irwandi's Photo The Human Cost of COVID-19:  https://www.pulitzer.org/finalists/joshua-irwandi-freelance-photographer-national-geographic

If you had to uproot yourself and move to a new country, you had to shut down your businessAnd when you moved to the new country with the hopes of starting a new business,You found out that you had a baby on the way.How would you feel at that point in life?Would you be excited at the prospect of building a new life and having a clean slate to start from? Or Would you be upset that you had to shut down your business and move to a completely unknown country and start building a life from scratch with such a huge life change on the way?Most of us would be pretty confused or pulled down. I know I would.And even if I would be okay with everything, willing to start a new business, the news of the baby would make me think. I would be excited but also wonder if it would be a good time to start a new business knowing full well how big mom commitments are.Why am I asking you this?  Because this is the story of our podcast guest,  Tessa Huff.Tessa had to overcome all those challenges that I mentioned above and in spite of it, she built a successful food blogging and photography business for herself. Tessa is a food photographer, blogger, professional cake designer, and cookbook author based in Canada. She's worked with several big brands including food network Canada.  In this week's episode Tessa shares exactly how she built a business from scratch while taking care of 3 kids at home.She shares what it takes to uproot yourself and settle in a new country, how to set a niche for your business, food styling and content creation tips and how to set up an organized approach to build a successful business from the get go.Family is more important than business, so how do we bring ourselves to be present for our loved ones but also build the business of our dreams? It is totally possible. It takes a different style of working but with determination and an organized approach, it is totally possible.We often take challenges and life changes as setbacks but the truth is that these changes have the potential to shape a brighter future for us. Tessa's opportunity to work with Food Network may or may not have happened had she not moved to Canada. A life change whether it's moving cities, having a baby or simply the idea of starting a business, tune in to learn how to accomplish everything without compromising on anything.  Read more at https://myfoodlens.com Follow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens/ Show notes available https://myfoodlens.com/80-how-to-build-a-photography-business-while-balancing-family-part-1-with-tessa-huff/Download free guide and workbook The 10-step photoshoot https://myfoodlens.com/the-10-step-photoshoot-guide/Write that pitch https://myfoodlens.ck.page/writethatpitch

Few years ago I received an enquiry from a brand for a cookbook photoshoot. They had seen my work and wanted to know more about my process and also my rates for the project. I shrieked. I mean who doesn't want to shoot a cookbook. Almost every photographer dreams of it. I did too. I was excited reading that email.But there was a minor problem. I had never done a cookbook shoot before. I had absolutely no idea what the process looked like and how I was supposed to charge for it. I mean it wasn't a magazine, it was a cookbook. They're both print media but are they really similar in process and pricing?My head was spinning.And so, I reached out to my dear friend in the industry, Diana muresan. Diana food photographer, stylist, blogger and educator, was also an experienced cookbook photographer & she came to my rescue.I bombarded her with questions and she answered each one of them patiently and with complete transparency. In this week's podcast we continue our conversation with Diana Muresan about cookbook shoots and she shares all the tricky details. We talk about pricing the project confidently, credits to be included in such projects, curveballs to expect and how to cater for contingencies, how to keep such projects profitable and whether cookbook photography is lucrative enough.  So, when I received that client enquiry, I had made a rough estimate of $5000 for the project but after my conversation with Diana, I realized how far off that was from what the project fee should have been. Based on the brief, it was easily a $12000 project.But I would've never known had I not spoken to someone about it.Imagine if I would've been hired for $5000 only to realize too late what the project fee should have actually been. Can you imagine the jolt to my confidence, passion and my desire to do a good job on the project? Leave all of that, imagine how unappreciated and unvalued it would've made me feel.We never want to be in that situation.If we run a photography business, it is always a good idea to know about the different kinds of projects in the industry, what it takes to execute them & how to quote for them so that if there is ever an opportunity, our decision to take it up or leave it is based on our interest it instead of our lack of knowledge about it.  Read more at https://myfoodlens.com Follow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens/ Show notes available https://myfoodlens.com/78-how-to-take-a-cookbook-shoot-from-start-to-finish-with-diana-muresan-part-2/Download free guide and workbook The 10-step photoshoot https://myfoodlens.com/the-10-step-photoshoot-guide/Write that pitch https://myfoodlens.ck.page/writethatpitch

Sam and Marcus are in the same room together and took this rare opportunity to quiz each other about their past! This episode is a little like being present as they chat about their past in the pub, pint in hand.   Sam started design websites n the 90's working with HTML and hand coding in Notepad. And even though he had various jobs he was always designing websites in the background. As a keen white water kayaker he did a lot of traveling, visiting exotic places for his sport.   Designing websites with photographs had its problems early on as it meant relying on scanning negatives and transparencies. Then compressing files significantly so they could load quickly.   His dad was a wedding photographer and Sam built up a lot of knowledge assisting him on weddings. A valuable experience that helped him direct his focus on designing websites for photographers as well as an understanding what makes a great image.   Marcus found photography in his mid 30's after a successful career as a session bass player. Prompted because he was looking for a new creative outlet and after purchasing a decent camera was drawn into the way he could “contain” the world through a viewfinder.   Quickly immersing himself into studying the subject at college and university he moved from his home in London to Brighton to partake in a BA in Editorial Photography. Then onto a role assisting a top advertising photographer for a few years helping out creating the image with flash lighting.   After branching out on his own shooting fashion he eventually starting working for the Hair and Beauty industry in his own studio in London as well as LA, NY and Paris. He also ran workshops for hairdressers on how to photograph their own work for magazines.   After 10 years Marcus was offered a post as a Senior Lecturer in Fashion and Advertising Photography at the University of South Wales moved to Bristol and after another eight years set up his current practice as a Brand Photographer.

SummaryDoug Wallstrom of Vera Bradley joins Daniel in this episode to share some stories that highlight the unique ability of the in-house editorial team to overcome the unexpected and get the shots they need to move the business forward. Key TakeawaysAgency relationships are quite important to businesses big and small. Similarly, the in-house team  has it's own strengths that can help a business achieve it's content goalsThe ability to pivot creative, try new things,  test an idea to have something to show the C-Suite, are all things the in-house team can help with. Being able to decentralize a production, specifically spreading out key elements of a production to overcome adverse weather, can help institutionalize some of our industry learnings from the pandemic. Doug plead guilty to the studio crime of changing the playlist mid shoot. Since he changed it to The Clash, he was lightly sentenced to time served. Links & ResourcesVera Bradley on LinkedInThe Clash - London CallingCreditsProduced by: Creative Force - creativeforce.ioEdited by: Calvin Lanz Sound - clsound.netHosted by: Daniel Jester - danieltjester.com

Excessive Rumination back in your life!On today's episode I'm joined by a man and photographer I have tremendous respect for, Senior Lecturer on the Press and Editorial Photography course at Falmouth University, David White.Dave was instrumental to me surviving and thriving at University back in the glory days of 2012 - 2015. I have to hold my hands up and say I massively under appreciated Dave, and the other tutors, in terms of the photographic talent they brought to the course. Dave has been a photojournalist for over two decades and in that time has shot an incredible amount of work all over the world, his story on Russian Cosmonauts being a particular highlight.However, it's not just Dave's photographic history I'm interested in talking about, it's his viewpoint as an arts degree lecturer in 2020 and what that looks like. We talk mental health in students, the value of an arts degree, rights of passage and 'the fourth year'.You can, and absolutely should, check out Dave's work at www.nospin.com and if you've got any interest in the Press and Editorial course, for you or someone else, go to https://www.falmouth.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/press-editorial-photography for more info.
