We discuss all of the research and decisions it took for Jessie to create fine art prints of her paper flowers. Learn what it takes to sell digital art. ****** Branching out your paper flower business can bring more financial stability and keep you excited creatively. The world of fine art prints can open an entirely new world of possibilities. In our latest episode of Paper Talk, we chatted about how Jessie has expanded her business from paper flower commissions, to writing a book, and now offering fine art prints. The amount of work that went into digitally creating the art, choosing a printer, and figuring out how to ship to customers is quite staggering. But that's why we're sharing what Jessie learned along the way so that you can more easily explore how to offer prints of your work. Here's what you'll learn when you listen to our conversation: ► All about Jessie's new limited edition print collection. ► How to work with and select printing and shipping companies for fine art. ► What to think about when expanding your product line. ► How Jessie created her digital artwork from photos of her paper flowers. ► Tips for the best frames for Jessie's art if you purchase prints. If you can't listen right away, here are some tips that apply to expanding your paper flower business in any direction. Research the Unknowns As Jessie shared on the podcast, she did a lot of research for her new venture. Which size should she choose? Which paper? There are a million options and they all make the art look a little different. Which company meets the right quality standards for printing fine art? Do they ship directly to the customer? If you're looking into creating your own prints, this episode is the perfect place to start your own research! Jessie shared so much useful information about these questions. We've also covered many other topics on this podcast about areas that many paper florists explore. Learn about building a YouTube channel in Episode 112, what it takes to run a brick and mortar shop in Episode 110, or creating digital magazines and writing books in Episode 102. Search our archives for a plethora of topics that can get you started. Whatever new direction you're contemplating, start researching now! Learn New Skills Paper flowers are a fairly new industry. That means you're probably really good at experimenting and learning new skills as you grow as an artist and business owner. We wear many different hats, and as you expand your horizons, you'll wear even more. “That's where your creativity grows, when you push yourself to those limits, when you challenge yourself with doing something more.” -Jessie Chui Jessie shared in the episode about how she had to learn new things in Photoshop as she created her digital art. It took time. That's okay! What's fantastic about this new skill is that Jessie can definitely use that knowledge again. This could be an important consideration when deciding which direction to push yourself. Which skills would you need to be successful? Will those skills be useful for other projects? If you're not sure, it can still be worth it to pursue your idea. If your new knowledge will help you in other areas of your business, that's even more incentive to put in the time and effort to learn. Share Your Work Putting yourself out there can be scary, especially if it's art you've put your heart and soul into. Will anyone buy it? Will anyone even like it? Is it worth the time, energy, and money? You should weigh the pros and cons of any decision. You should make sure that you're not pouring so much into a new venture that it will make it impossible to recover if things fail. All that said, go for it! If fear is holding you back, take a leap of faith. Maybe no one buys your work, but you've learned something new and put your art out into the world. As Jessie shared, even if no one buys her new work right now, they now know that she offers that product. It can open new doors later. You never know what will happen, so try! ****** Join our Facebook group where you can share, connect, and grow with us.

FOLGE 60 mit Frank Straatmann Seit den frühen 1980er Jahren beschäftigt sich Frank Straatmann intensiv mit der künstlerischen Seite der Photographie – noch in der analogen Welt. So arbeitete er mit verschiedenen Kamerasystemen im Kleinbild- und Mittelformat und vergrößerte seine Fine Art Prints in der eigenen Dunkelkammer. Erste Ausstellung war 1996 in der NIKON Galerie, Düsseldorf. Im Jahre 2005 wechselte er dann zur digitalen Photographie. Seit etwa 2015 arbeitet er parallel dazu mit analogem Film-Material - je nach Thema. Er arbeitet bevorzugt in Serien und thematischen Aufgabenstellungen rund um die Bereiche Mensch, Natur und den Dimensionen der Zeit. Insbesondere die gefühlte "Beschleunigung der Zeit“ veranlasst ihn in den letzten Jahren immer stärker, mit Abstraktionen und Bewegungsunschärfen den Betrachter dazu zu bringen, innezuhalten und zu schauen. Ausstellungen in Düsseldorf, Moers, München, Meerbusch, Schwalmtal sowie Veröffentlichung in Kunstbüchern, Kataloge sowie ein Kalenderprojekt New York.   Beste Grüße Frank   https://www.straatmann.photo/   https://leica-enthusiast.de/2021/04/frank-straatmann/   https://www.instagram.com/frank_straatmann_photography/

You’re a Moab Master. Tell me about that. You say that you prefer Somerset Museum Rag paper by Moab. That you “would not exhibit your work on any other paper.” why is that? What is it about this paper that makes it so special?  Your print process, I do three levels of inspection/sharpening. Capture sharpening, creative edits which include creative sharpening sharpening and output sharpening. Does this resonate with your process? Do you do things differently? 5b. Color calibration. Looks like you use Epson printers. We’ll talk about that briefly. Anything else you’d like to add. Announcements (appears before the printing conversation in the episode) I certainly hope all is well with you, things have really been humming along here at the farm. We had some excellent snow a couple weeks ago and now it seems Spring is well on its way. Things happening in the fb group recently: Closed the Winter Wonderland submission timeframe and opened another, Under the Sun. Be sure to apply the topic to your original post so I can see it when it’s time to do the review. We’ll actually plan to do this next one live and that will be scheduled a bit later. We’ll shoot for later in March.  For Under the Sun, try and incorporate something with the sun in your shot. Feel free to dig through your archive of images, or make a new image. It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll try once again to bring someone on with me to do the review and this will generally be a rather light hearted review. We won’t dive too deeply nor will we get to critical. But it’s still a great opportunity to learn some points on the insights we share about the photos. The session I recorded with Tom Wagner is posted to YouTube but I had a weird echo with Tom’s audio. That was not his fault at all. I heard him just fine and I know his side of things was operating as it should. The echo was my issue and I’m getting that figured out before I do the next session. I may delete that video because, while it’s great to have those photos discussed, I just can’t see it really working well since it’s so hard to sit through. So, my apologies to you and Tom and we’ll get it fixed the next time around. Other things in the group, Mike Regas asked about online learning, he mentioned Phlearn Pro and Kelby One. If you have anything to chime in on that I’m sure he’d love to hear from you :)  And Aaron Martinez, he was on just a few episodes ago talking about the Pentax K3 mkii, which has been delayed indefinitely, well, he posted a pic from up here in the PNW. Nice to see these types of images coming in :) My next episode will be all about your Lightroom Classic questions. I have very little experience in Lightroom CC but if those are there I’ll do my best with those. Look for the post in the group and get your questions listed there. I pinned it to the top and I made it an announcement so it should be easy to find. Rather off topic, but something I wanted to share anyway, I was able to help a fellow faculty member with a website recently. He produced a six episode documentary on the Biblical book of Mark. The website link is in the shownotes towards the top but it’s called Reliving Mark. The first episode is to be released today, the 28th of February. You can watch it online if you’d like and the remaining five episodes will be released a week apart. I believe it culminates with the final episode releasing on Easter Sunday which is kinda cool. Oh, I finally got my submission in to the Voices of the Wildernes Artist in Residence program operated by the National Forest Service in Alaska. If you want, you can see my submission portfolio of six images in the fb group. I decided to focus on three genres of work, the Active Landscape, Panoramas and my series I call Segmentation. I should know the results by mid April so I’ll keep my fingers crossed and pray they choose me. It would be such an amazing experience to head up there and be in the wilderness for a couple of weeks. And my goodness, I’ve just got so many things to talk about. I have a preliminary plan worked out for my Sabbatical experience I hope I’ll get approval for from my Vice President at the university. It includes Great Basin National Park, Badlands National Park, Lake Superior coast of Minnesota and Isle Royale National Park and Theodore Roosevelt National Park. My intent was to visit various national parks that are not exceedingly popular. And all of these fit that description as I look at the visitation numbers for 2019. Once I have confirmation that it’s been approved I’ll start making reservations and other final plans. I was thinking about seeing if I could go far and wide, like to Florida or Maine, but let’s face it. We have a gigantic country and I have a family too. This trip would have me on the road for 4.5 weeks and most of it would be camping. So I remain hopeful… One other idea I had was to lengthen the trip and fly home for a week in the middle of the trip to break it up a bit. We’ll see how it goes but I don’t see that happening at this point. My plan largely centers around spending the better part of a week in each location, then completely resting on Saturday’s in a hotel, literally just chilling out and possibly sleeping. And then on Sundays I’ll record a podcast episode and publish it so you always will have fresh and timely discussion about the experience and then I’ll be back on the road on Mondays to the next destination. It won’t be a perfect occurrence every time because I’m looking at spending the weekend on Isle Royale, but for the most part that will be my goal. OK, I think I’ve about covered it all, it’s time to get on to my discussion with Joshua Holko, he’s been on the show twice before talking about his work as a Polar Photographer and prepping for harsh winter conditions. So without further ado let’s just get right to it and I’ll start by saying Joshua, welcome to the show! Ending Remarks Latitude Photo School is going pretty good. Today starts a huge push to make it all come together. In this episode I mention about my printing course. That will be part of the school for sure, but just know that I’ve temporarily turned off the ability to purchase that course since I’m switching up a bunch of the tech I’m using to deliver my online trainings. But in short, my LPS service will include the following: Access to all my courses, group Q&A sessions (you can type in questions, I’ll answer them or show you on screen, whatever is the best option) assignments with feedback and a I’ll be planning on rolling out a discussion forum shortly after launch. If you have any ideas about what you’d like to see that would put my photo training service above the rest I’m all ears. I really like the idea of assignments because I really do believe that photography is best learned by doing the work and then getting a review on those images makes it all the better. I have yet to fully flesh out how it’ll work because I could easily get overwhelmed but I really want to make this the best service with the greatest value possible.  Reminders Find us on the web at http://latitudephotographypodcast.com Find me on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/brentberghermphoto/ Find the podcast facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/latitudephotographypodcast/ Find me on instagram @brentbergherm Find me on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/c/brentberghermphotography Find me online at https://brentbergherm.com Find Joshua online at: https://jholko.com

In part 2 with Yasmin Tajik we again cover wide ranging topics, but at their core, it is who she is. She is compassionate for humanity and driven to inspire people through her photography. We chat about the wild mustangs outside of Phoenix and how this evolved into a partnership with the American Wild Horse Campaign. And several years ago, Yasmin bought a drone (although it stayed in the box for quite a while). Now she's involved on the leadership team with Women Who Drone encouraging women and young girls to get into the wonderful world of drones. Only 6% of FAA Part 107 licensed drone operators are female and Women Who Drone is building those numbers with great advocacy. "It is my goal to inspire compassion and a connection between the viewer of the image and the subject. By finding our commonalities, played out in different countries, climates and clothes, it brings us closer together, creating an understanding that we all want the same things in life, food on our table, a roof over our heads, good health, to love and be loved." Yasmin partners with S.A.F.E. Kenya, American Wild Horse Campaign, and The Great Plains Foundation through prints sales from her Fine Art Print site.

Check out the images on my BLOG. It was such a great opportunity to reconnect with Yasmin Tajik on this episode. Yasmin has had a life filled with amazing adventures traveling the world since she was a young girl. Her photography journey started to take professional shape as she worked in Las Vegas in the lobster...yes, I said LOBSTER industry. She's had a passion for animals of all kinds which has infused it's way into her work. But most importantly, after a conversation with her mom a number of years back, she felt the calling to pursue a more humanitarian approach to her work. That conversation has spurred an impactful jump in her career to share the stories of disadvantaged people around the world partnering with organizations fighting sex-trafficking, girls and women’s rights and education, and animal poaching. "It is my goal to inspire compassion and a connection between the viewer of the image and the subject. By finding our commonalities, played out in different countries, climates and clothes, it brings us closer together, creating an understanding that we all want the same things in life, food on our table, a roof over our heads, good health, to love and be loved." She now partners with S.A.F.E. Kenya, American Wild Horse Campaign, and The Great Plains Foundation specifically through prints sales from her Fine Art Print site. This is the first of two episodes with Yasmin as we just had too much good stuff to chat about to jam into one long episode.

Today's guest is someone I met in my ad days. His name is David Bastedo and he is a Creative Technologist, Photographer, Artist & Speaker. His personal story is about passion. And you'll be able to see throughout our chat, David is passionate about exploring and following his curiosities. About having and following dreams, chasing ideas and creativity. Making and creating things. Taking chances. Pushing himself and often failing. Constantly questioning how he wants to live today, tomorrow and throughout the next part of his life. His Professional story is rooted in the world of digital communications. For over twenty years David worked in advertising agencies. He's been an independent Digital Consult in various guises, developing online strategies and creating content for clients ranging from Car companies, to Alcohol and Marijuana Producers, Politicians and Rock Bands – to name a few. As a photographer, he shoots still and moving images of people and things; documentary and events. With a particular fondness for working with musicians. He's worked with one Canadian band in particular, called the Tragically Hip and documented them for almost fifteen years, as well as their Lead Singer – Gord Downie. The images he made of The Tragically Hip have been published in print and online by every major newspaper in Canada and many international papers. They've appeared in ad campaigns, on band merchandise; movies, tv, magazine covers, books and posters and are available for purchase as Fine Art Prints and Licensed Music Collectables. In today's episode David shares: About his unconventional path and the ups and downs that followed. Why he refuses to specialize - Seeing failure as an opportunity for growth. How he's never satisfied, seeing it as a curse and blessing. His appreciation for street art. What photography means to him, specially working with musicians. The famous "the hug" photo he took of Gord Downie and how that lead him to meeting the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. And David made a special gift for us! He recorded his 50 birthday refleciton piece on audio, adding this as our bonus episode on the podcast. David, I am grateful for you and let's dive in!

Living with out live music is not really living. Musical and talented, Jaimie Branch, Jason Ajemian, and Butchy Fuego decided enough was enough! This pandemic was making live music events almost impossible to hold safely...but there were solutions. A floatilla concert on Christiansen Lake of Talkeetna, Alaska where the band was on a floating stage made of float plane pontoons. The whole town showed up(almost) with their own boats where everyone could social distance and watch these world renowned musicians rock out. You like this music? You can hear more of their work and even throw some funds into their tip jar if you didn't get to the floating one on the lake that fine sunny day in September.

Normally when I do these question and answer episodes, I get anywhere from 20 to 30 questions to ask my guest - for this topic - the questions numbered in the 100’s! Thankfully, Jake Hawley from Picture Salon was willing to take time out of his schedule to answer many of your questions here on the podcast. In our conversation, Jake touches on file sizes, how to take the best pictures of your art, tips for pricing your fine art prints, and much more. If you’ve ever considered selling prints of your artwork - this is the episode for you!  Should I buy a large format printer?  Finding a good print shop to work with can be difficult, and you may be tempted to invest in a large format printer to take care of it all yourself. While buying a large format printer might work for some artists, the truth is - unless you are planning on using the printer regularly - it’s a poor investment. Instead, consider taking the time to research and explore some of the print shops in your area or even using a service like Picture Salon. How to get the best lighting One of the challenges of getting good fine art prints is taking a high-quality picture of your artwork. Many artists think that snapping a photo on their iPhone will suffice - unfortunately, there are many additional factors to take into consideration. Jake encourages artists like you to use a tripod when taking a photo of your artwork; he also stresses the value of paying close attention to your lighting and how it impacts the image. Ultimately, if possible, Jake suggests connecting with a professional photographer who has experience photographing fine art for reproduction.  Materials matter Did you know that the material you choose to have your art printed on can make all the difference? It’s true! In our conversation, Jake’s answers to various material questions took us on a tour of papers, metals, and more. I’ve had first-hand experience working with Jake and his team while I agonized over which type of paper I wanted to use when printing my art. If you are wondering what type of paper to use with your art - consider giving Jake a call. At Picture Salon, they’ll help you figure out what paper works best with your art and they’ll even send you some free samples.  Tips for setting a price on fine art prints If I had one, I had a dozen questions about pricing fine art prints. I get it, putting a number on your art can be challenging - especially when it comes to prints of your artwork. In our conversation, Jake was kind enough to share several tips on accurately pricing your fine art prints. Jake suggests pricing a print between 3 and 5 times the cost it took to produce the print. Make sure to factor into your price the time the original took you to create as well as the time it took to get the captures. Follow up with Jake and his team at Picture Salon to get more helpful information like this!
