The importance of reviewing past work to chart progress is highlighted as a motivational exercise.From Technical Mastery to Personal Style - The conversation covers Sean's evolution from technical naiveté to developing a distinctive style emphasizing light, silhouettes, and the interplay between small subjects and vast natural backgrounds.

#564 In this episode of the podcast, I dive deep into the idea that while capturing the right moment in photography matters most, it's not everything. I share my own experiences as a photographer, especially those early days when I felt overwhelmed by all the camera settings—aperture, shutter speed, ISO—and how easy it is to get distracted by what influencers say you need in terms of new gear. I open up about how sharing my photos online sometimes left me second-guessing myself when the feedback was harsh or not constructive, and how important it is for our mental health to not tie our self-worth to internet commentary.KEY TOPICS COVEREDThe Role of Moment in Great Photography - I talk about why the “moment” is king, but also share a story of photographing race cars with my son to show that technical choices—like shutter speed—are what give your images the power to convey emotion and story.Overcoming Overwhelm and Gear Envy - I reflect on my struggles with self-doubt, gear lust, and how feeling unskilled led me to blame my camera for missed shots. I encourage you to focus on learning and being patient with yourself instead of obsessing over equipment or social media critique.Shooting in Manual and Preparing for the Moment - I break down my personal workflow, from choosing settings to working with couples, so you can enter your sessions confident in exposure and ready to pay attention to the fleeting moments that matter.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSManual Mode: The camera setting where the photographer controls ISO, aperture, and shutter speed, rather than letting the camera choose. This gives more creative control and removes uncertainty about exposure.Exposure: The overall brightness or darkness of a photograph, determined by settings such as shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Proper exposure is essential for capturing high-quality moments.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow has mastering camera settings changed the way you feel during a shoot?Have social media comments ever affected your confidence? How can you protect your creative process?What can you do before a session to minimize stress and maximize your ability to catch authentic moments?Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

I first met Kuhio at Dbah beach on the boarder of Qld and NSW in Australia. It's a popular surf beach and Kuhio was traveling with his wife, I some how ended up having a back and forth on Instagram about something and here I was, walking on the hot sand, on a hot day to meet a guy I'd never met in person before. We compared cameras as all photographers do...mine was bigger and more robust, his was nimble and easy to adapt to the conditions...we ended up swimming and surfing the small beach breaks for a couple hours. The next day he was on a plane back to Hawaii.Kuhio hosted Trav on his first expedition to Hawaii, in this podcast episode we talk about that, shooting pipe, being published in the last ever edition of Surfer Magazine, what the best gear in his opinion is, what he's learned after being rescued and much more.I'd love to see your work and hear your thoughts about my show 'Chasing Clarity' Please get in touch via Instagram - @senseiodellI've been getting some amazing messages since the last Ep.If you want to help the show grow it's awesome to subscribe, great to rate on your podcast player BUT amazing if you share the show with someone, your stories or a group.Want to suggest a guest or be a guest?

Mek sits down with Abdi, an ambitious artist whose main objective is to use his art to leave a legacy that inspires the world. In 90 minutes, they discuss: - Abdi’s beginnings as a photographer and how his creative art is different from the rest - being a novice and humbly taking advice on the job - how getting a Fox Five D.C. shout out helped his page gain traction - dealing with critics and receiving positive and negative feedback - starting to sell his work art and partnering up with brands - how coding has helped him develop his artistry - why he looked up to Muhammad Ali and other Muslim role models when he was young - lessons he learned from the Islamic faith (like how every life has a purpose) - the late Kobe Bryant’s grind, a TMZ debate, and diving into emotional intelligence - how there’s power in time and the stoic philosophy in maintaining composure - realizing the issue and taking ownership on yourself and learning and growing from pain - how Abdi really relates to Squidward because of his lack of drama - his message to the masses and more. Bio Since the age of 19, Abdi has used multiple mediums of expression to create art. Once he considered a career in medicine but his life led him to coding where he currently works for the USDA. He has cultivated an awe-inspiring craft that has garnered attention from media outlets such as the Washington Post. Find him Twitter and Instagram, or go to his website: https://www.heisabdi.com.

TikTok, the video-based social media app, usually conjures visions of teens mimicking the latest dance craze, but it's probably better described as short attention span YouTube. In 2017, ByteDance, the Chinese-owned parent company of TikTok, acquired the Musical.ly app, which had gained a toehold with an under-18 demographic by becoming a replacement for the comedy-oriented Vine app along with a burgeoning lip synching community.Although the app still skews heavily towards music, it has predictably evolved as a youth-oriented, generic video delivery platform. As such, a whole gaggle of teen photographers has emerged as "experts" – delivering pop song-soundtracked mini-tutorials that are largely devoid of narration.On this week's episode of the PhotoShelter podcast Vision Slightly Blurred, @sarahjake and @allen3m discuss how TikTok is helping inspire a new crop of photographers.

1 Archive BROOKE I really wanted to start a podcast in 2012. In 2013 I went ahead and recorded my first official podcast recording... with my high school friend Brooke! We had been hanging out on and off after we graduated, which was a new thing since we never really hung out while we were in high school. Anyways...here we are in 2017 and I'm finally trying to make it more of an official podcast sort of thing. Here we go! Shownotes from 2013: We talk about her life. Learning Photography. Aspirations. Adultery. Moving On. Moving Up. Moving Out. Young adolescent friendships. Childhood. And more! This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

I just got back from a workshop with ImprovePhotography.com shooting in the BEAUTIFUL area in Utah and Arizona around the Grand Canyon!  What I love about workshops is that there are so many people there to learn from and be inspired by.  Check out this episode on learning through workshops with nature photographer Majeed Badizadegan.   Be sure to join us on Facebook and share YOUR thoughts on photography.  Join me on Instagram! Keep up to date on many FREE workshops offered through ImprovePhotography.com.

We all have different learning styles.  Many of us learn best by struggling through things and trying to figure it out on our own; others can read or see something once and get it.  In this episode I talk with Jim Harmer, founder of ImprovePhotography.com, about the benefits of learning photography online. Be sure to join us on Facebook in the Thoughts On Photography Podcast group to share YOUR thoughts on photography.

How do you learn photography?  Do you learn best when someone is there to walk you through and explain everything?  Or do you learn best experimenting and working through struggles on your own?  Or maybe you spend your time learning online through courses such as ImprovePhotography.com and Photography Start. In this episode Dan Helrigel (Photography Chair at Indianapolis Art Center) and I explore learning photography and the different possibilities.  This episode birthed the idea of staring a series on "Learning Photography" and the different options we have as learners.  Enjoy this show and stay tuned for more on this topic! 

Pho­tog­ra­phy pod­cast #127 goes into why point and shoot cameras suck for learning photography. I actually rag on point and shoot cameras quite a bit in this podcast but it’s because photography should be fun and learning photography on a point and shoot camera is rarely fun and almost never user-friendly.
