"I think art for me has always been about giving someone an image that they can get absorbed into, and that takes them to a place that is sort of hyper-real. You know it’s not reality but you also can’t quite pin down what it is or where it came from. I see that in the tintype process as well. It’s quite arresting as a modern person to be photographed in a tintype because it puts you in this other world where you know it’s you and you know it’s modern photograph. But you’ve never seen anything like it and it breaks you out of that pattern of being so well versed at looking at imagery." Adrian Whipp is a passionate and driven photographer who has chosen to pursue more rare, challenging, and unconventional ways of making images. He is probably best known for his family heirloom level of portrait making in the form of tintypes that he captures in his custom mobile photo studio at the back of the French restaurant Justine's Brasserie here in Austin. When not doing that he is full on pursuing the creation of his own version of stereo photography, manifest soon in something called The Daydream Society (https://thedaydreamsociety.com/stereos). What I see is an inherent fascination and generosity in what he creates and shares that is really intriguing and inspiring. I encourage you to tune in and keep and eye on what he is up to. If you make it over to have your tintype made, which I highly recommend, make sure to let Adrain know you heard the podcast. And definitely check out the beautiful work on his website, adrianwhipp.com (https://www.adrianwhipp.com/), and be sure to specifically check out the daydream society and sign up to get email updates.

Adrian is a photographic artist based in Austin, Texas. Born in the UK, Adrian received his Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication before moving to the US in 2007 to pursue photography. In 2013 Adrian founded Lumiere Tintype, the world's only traveling tintype portrait studio. Lumiere serves as an attempt to make honest, timeless portraiture that helps people to reconnect with the lost alchemy of a handmade photograph. In the past six years Adrian has shot over eleven thousand tintype portraits, images that he hopes will be cherished for generations to come. Outside of Lumiere, Adrian’s photographic work plays with the idea that our notions of photography are beginning to detach from the rules of perspective. As digital technologies continue to reshape our understanding of what a photograph can be, we are discovering immersive new ways to become transfixed by the power of an image. For example, in Adrian’s cathedral of light, we see that a photograph can be elusive and ephemeral - impossible to capture or ‘fix’. It can exist only as a luminous play of light and color across ground glass - we meditate upon the image in the same way that we watch time pass. A photograph can also exist without a single, fixed viewpoint. Inspired by Chinese scroll paintings, Adrian built the Aleph - a projected photographic landscape that can never be viewed in it’s entirety, only in sections. Each viewer charts a different course as they explore the image plane, leading to very different interpretations and memories of the same work. Adrian’s latest endeavor - the daydream society, explores the aperspectival realm of stereo photography - a technique that uses the viewer’s own visual cortex to blend two fixed perspectives into one fully dimensional image. These fascinating, three dimensional (four if you include the duration of exposure!) images can only exist in the imagination of the person viewing them - in the material world they are merely two flat photographs, sitting alongside each other on a two dimensional plane. https://files.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads/images/4/41335247-836c-4f4a-8a8b-aeca55f3227a/3dm7brc4.jpeg Photo of Adrian by Jonathan Canlas This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

You may know Jonathan Canlas as the owner of The Find Lab, his film photography, or other various passion projects. Jon believes in the power of selling prints, quality over quantity, and getting back in touch with your ‘why' behind photography. Jon has had a 20-year career and is well versed in everything from business and marketing to curation, pricing, digital files, and throat punch images. Today Jon is here to let you into his world and provides tips on how you can sell more prints and become better at your business. There is no longevity in your career until you have a voice and images that set you apart, and to Jon, the only way to do that is by pointing your camera at things that make you tick, not just pay the bills. Your images have the power to change the world if a print of JPEG is put in front of the right person, and it is only by bettering yourself as a photographer that you can find your voice and become part of something bigger than yourself and the business. A source of inspiration, great quotes, and a no-bullshit attitude, Jon is a master to learn from and the key to utilizing your own unique access. What do you find most inspirational about Jon's perspective? Join the conversation in the comments on the episode page. In This Episode The importance of stepping away and looking at your photos with fresh eyes Focusing on the power of walking away with a photo that is worth printing Why you should stop giving away your digital files and how to price accordingly How to start curating and deliver a few select photos instead of too many options Ways to unlock your potential and do more than what you are being paid for Quotes “I'm constantly trying to document now so that things aren't missed.” (6:46) “Watching a piece of paper that is blank, and you put it in its water, and within 10 seconds, boom! Like magic, there is an image. I don't know anyone in the world, I don't even care if you are into photography or not If I show that to you you're like ‘Woah that's cool'.” (12:45) “I'm not in the business of being pretty, I am in the business of making money.” (35:30) “There's a reason I have been in business for 20 years. Its because I don't give away the farm, I'm not constantly running a marathon, running from client to client to ‘get a drink'.” (41:54) “It's not our responsibility as photographers to archive for our clients online, for them to be able to just see it. I give it to you and it's your responsibility to do what you are going to do with it afterward. I am not a hosting service, I am a photographer.” (44:18) “If you want to be able to create images that are throat punchers, you have to know what you want to say. And you are not going to figure out what you want to say just by showing up to the same gig over and over again and just repeating it.” (47:40) Links Jonathan Canlas Photography theFINDlab Website Find Meaning In A Box Follow Jonathan on Instagram ARC Techniques Check out the full show notes page here Keep up with everything ARC here Follow ARC on Instagram | Facebook | Twitter Sachin Khona Follow Sachin on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter
My first inspiration and biggest mentor Jonathan Canlas shares how he went from being a $400 wedding photographer in 1999 to running multiple thriving businesses all while staying creative 20 years later. We talk about how he sidesteps comparison entirely, what personal work gives to you that can’t be measured by money or accolades (though those often come piggybacking too), how to use art as a reflection of what you really want, the biggest problem facing photographers today, and some golden advice he would give to himself when he was starting out if he could go back.

We've all been told that competition is a necessary part of business, but what if we opted out? Does competition help or hurt creativity? In this episode I offer some different ways to think about two popular schools of thought in relation to competition, why monopolies are where it's at (+ how to create yours), why excuses about cheap clients and saturated markets are a lie, the hidden problems with #communityovercompetition and how you can use all these principles to make your offerings more creative and more useful to the peeps you're tryna serve.
