Adobe mejora tu cámara:  App gratuita con inteligencia artificial para iPhone con IA, controles manuales y fotos RAW de alta calidad   Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  Adobe acaba de presentar una app experimental que transforma el modo en que usamos la cámara del iPhone. Se llama Project Indigo, y ya está disponible gratis en la App Store. Detrás del desarrollo están los mismos ingenieros que crearon la cámara de los teléfonos Pixel de Google. La promesa es clara: ofrecer una experiencia de captura con aspecto profesional, basada en inteligencia artificial, procesamiento por ráfagas y controles manuales. ¿Puede una app gratuita reemplazar la cámara nativa del iPhone y convertirse en la favorita de quienes aman la fotografía móvil?  Project Indigo no toma una sola foto: toma hasta 32 imágenes en ráfaga, las alinea y las fusiona para crear una sola más precisa, con menos ruido, mejor rango dinámico y más detalle. Lo más impresionante es que lo hace con un enfoque natural, evitando los efectos exagerados que muchos usuarios detestan. Está disponible desde el iPhone 12 Pro y en todos los modelos del iPhone 14 en adelante, aunque Adobe recomienda usarlo con un iPhone 15 Pro o superior. No necesitas tener cuenta de Adobe ni iniciar sesión, lo cual la hace ideal para experimentar sin compromiso. Además, es compatible con fotos RAW y JPEG. Y si usas Lightroom, puedes enviar tus fotos directamente desde Indigo para editarlas.  Pero no todo es perfecto: Pierdes funciones nativas como Live Photos, modo retrato y estilos fotográficos.   El cerebro detrás de Indigo es Marc Levoy, quien dejó Google en 2020 para unirse a Adobe con el objetivo de crear una “app de cámara universal”. Junto a él está Florian Kainz, también ex Google y experto en procesamiento de imagen. Ambos fueron clave en los avances del Pixel, que convirtió a la cámara de Google en un referente. Con Indigo buscan ir más allá: crear fotos que parezcan tomadas con cámaras réflex, sin dejar de aprovechar el poder del iPhone. Uno de sus logros técnicos es que el obturador no tiene retardo: la app ya está grabando imágenes RAW mientras estás encuadrando, así que cuando presionas el botón, ya tiene lista la mejor toma. Ideal para capturar momentos exactos como un perro en movimiento o una pelota entrando en el arco.  Muchos fotógrafos no confían en las cámaras del celular porque el software tiende a exagerar la imagen. Colores saturados, sombras aplastadas, reflejos molestos y detalles perdidos por la compresión digital. Apple ha hecho mejoras, pero su app de cámara sigue sin ofrecer controles manuales completos. Tampoco permite disparar con exposición prolongada real ni ajustar el número de imágenes por ráfaga. Project Indigo responde a esa necesidad con un enfoque híbrido: mantiene la sencillez del teléfono, pero entrega resultados dignos de una cámara avanzada. En lugar de aplicar filtros o IA que "inventan" detalles, Indigo capta datos reales desde el sensor y los combina para mejorar la nitidez. Incluso permite usar el movimiento natural de la mano como técnica para captar más perspectiva y obtener fotos más detalladas, algo conocido como "multi-frame super-resolution".  Project Indigo ya puede descargarse gratis y viene con funciones únicas que la distinguen de otras apps. Por ejemplo, permite hacer fotos en condiciones de luz muy baja sin necesidad de trípode, gracias a la combinación de 32 cuadros tomados en segundos. También incluye un botón dedicado para fotos de larga exposición, que simula el efecto de obturación prolongada en cámaras réflex: perfecto para capturar cascadas, luces en movimiento o trazos de luz en la noche. Otra función prometedora es la eliminación de reflejos con IA, ideal para fotos detrás de vitrinas o cristales. Y si te gusta editar, las fotos en RAW pueden abrirse directamente en Lightroom con compatibilidad total con los perfiles de color de Adobe. Aunque aún no tiene modo retrato ni video, ya se están desarrollando esas funciones, junto con bracketing de exposición y enfoque. La app también actúa como plataforma de pruebas para futuras funciones de Photoshop y Lightroom. Además, Adobe ya confirmó que la versión para Android “va a llegar seguro”.  Las imágenes tomadas con Indigo pueden verse en calidad HDR en una galería oficial alojada en Adobe Lightroom. Eso sí: la visualización óptima requiere una pantalla compatible y usar Google Chrome. Safari puede no mostrar correctamente los colores ni los brillos. Otra novedad técnica es el demosaico avanzado, que reconstruye los colores a partir del sensor de forma más precisa que otras apps. Indigo también ajusta el tono y el color basándose en lo que hay en la escena: sabe cuándo hay una persona en primer plano o cuándo estás fotografiando un cielo al atardecer. En las pruebas realizadas por medios como PetaPixel y CNET, se destacó que el zoom digital de Indigo supera al del iPhone al no inventar píxeles, sino construir la imagen con varias tomas desde ángulos apenas distintos. Además, la app permite ajustar la cantidad de cuadros por ráfaga, algo que no se ve en otras herramientas similares. Según Adobe, este es solo el comienzo: planean integrar más funciones creativas y fortalecer la app con la ayuda de los comentarios de quienes ya están probándola.  Project Indigo es una app gratuita de Adobe que convierte tu iPhone en una cámara avanzada con controles manuales, procesamiento inteligente y compatibilidad con RAW. Está pensada para quienes aman la fotografía, pero también para curiosos que quieran probar una nueva forma de tomar fotos. Descárgala, prueba sus funciones y cuéntanos tu experiencia.

LW1458 - Lessons in Editing In 2009, I visited an exhibition in China that included some 1,500 photographs. I learned two things in the presence of such a firehose of images. First, good work does not elevate the whole, but the whole can drag the good work down to its level. Second, that exhibition led me to a better way to use Lightroom's star ratings when editing a project.

HT2285 - Fast Lenses in the Age of DeNoise and LensBlur I use shallow depth of field less frequently than a lot of photographers, probably because I don't shoot many portraits. Nonetheless, I've always carried a fast prime for those occasions when I might need it. Truth be told, I can't remember the last time I used it. According the EXIF data in Lightroom, it was 6 years ago for a few shots and before that was in 2013. Do I still need a fast prime?

Hoy exploramos cómo la Inteligencia Artificial está transformando nuestra forma de planificar, capturar y editar nuestras fotografías.    >   TALLERES DE FOTOGRAFÍA Ya están disponibles las fechas para los Talleres de Fotografía de Paisaje que formarán parte de mi oferta formativa. Si te apetece acompañarme en nuevas aventuras fotográficas, respetando todas las medidas de seguridad, echa un vistazo. Plazas limitadas. Talleres de Fotografía de Paisaje con Rafa Irusta INTELIGENCIA ARTIFICIAL EN FOTOGRAFÍA DE PAISAJES En este episodio de Distancia Hiperfocal, Roger Vivé y yo nos adentramos en un tema que genera tanto entusiasmo como controversia: el papel de la inteligencia artificial (IA) en la Fotografía de Paisaje. Analizamos cómo esta tecnología está transformando todo el proceso fotográfico, desde la planificación hasta el revelado, y debatimos sobre sus ventajas, riesgos y su impacto ético y creativo. PUNTOS CLAVE TRATADOS EN EL EPISODIO IA como herramienta, no como amenaza Coincidimos en que la IA no es un enemigo, sino un recurso que, bien utilizado, puede facilitar muchas tareas fotográficas. El valor sigue estando en nuestra mirada personal y en la intención con la que usamos las herramientas. Presencia de la IA en el equipo fotográfico Muchas cámaras, móviles y drones ya integran funciones como el enfoque al ojo, la detección de escenas o el seguimiento de sujetos, todas basadas en IA. Lo mismo sucede con programas de edición como Lightroom o Photoshop, que integran funciones inteligentes para máscaras, reducción de ruido o mejoras automáticas. Planificación con ayuda de IA Herramientas como PhotoPills o Viewfinder aprovechan algoritmos inteligentes para facilitar la planificación de localizaciones, amaneceres, puestas de sol o condiciones meteorológicas, mejorando así nuestras salidas fotográficas. Edición y selección asistida Discutimos sobre el uso de IA para automatizar procesos como la selección de imágenes, el reescalado, la eliminación de ruido o el retoque automático. Si bien pueden ahorrar tiempo, ambos coincidimos en que preferimos tener control sobre el proceso creativo, especialmente en la edición final. Riesgos y ética Hablamos de temas sensibles como el reemplazo de cielos, la generación de imágenes completas mediante IA o la pérdida de estilo personal si se delega demasiado en estas herramientas. El debate ético no gira tanto en torno a la IA en sí, sino al uso que hacemos de ella. ¿Hasta qué punto sigue siendo nuestra fotografía si la genera o edita una IA? Consejos para integrar la IA sin perder la visión personal Utilizar la IA como apoyo, no como sustituto. Mantener el control creativo en cada fase del proceso. Establecer límites personales (por ejemplo, no cambiar cielos, no generar paisajes inexistentes). Formarse para comprender cómo funciona la IA y sacarle el máximo provecho sin renunciar a nuestra voz fotográfica. Mirada al futuro Exploramos qué puede venir: edición por voz o texto, recomendaciones compositivas automáticas, simulación de estaciones, generación de imágenes cada vez más realistas… Todo apunta a que la IA seguirá evolucionando y formando parte del flujo fotográfico, por lo que será clave saber usarla con criterio. CONCLUSIONES La inteligencia artificial (IA) ha llegado para quedarse y en fotografía de paisaje puede ser una gran aliada si la usamos con intención y criterio. No sustituye nuestra sensibilidad ni nuestra creatividad: son herramientas que pueden ayudarnos a llegar más lejos, pero la visión sigue siendo nuestra.

Klik. Nog een. En nog een. Tot je ineens beseft dat je geheugenkaart vol zit – en je hoofd eigenlijk ook. In deze aflevering praten we over een onderwerp waar elke fotograaf vroeg of laat mee worstelt: opslag. Want ja, foto's maken is leuk, maar ze opslaan, terugvinden en weggooien? Da's een ander verhaal.Moet je alles bewaren? Of mag je kritisch zijn? We hebben het over lokale opslag versus de cloud, die almaar groter wordende RAW-bestanden, en de mentale opluchting van een opgeruimd archief. Want eerlijk is eerlijk: 11.426 onbewerkte foto's in een mapje “ooit nog doen”... dat voelt niet als creatieve vrijheid. Het voelt als digitale verstopping. Tijd om je harde schijf – en je hoofd – even goed op te ruimen.

Every photographer knows the feeling - you've got hundreds of incredible images from your latest trip, but instead of editing them, you're watching "just one more" Lightroom tutorial. Sound familiar? After years of safari photography and teaching workshops, Gerry shares why the endless search for new techniques might be holding you back from creating your best work. This episode cuts through the noise to reveal an uncomfortable truth: you probably already know enough to edit great images, you just need to stop procrastinating and do the work. Learn why mastering the basics beats knowing exotic tricks, how to break free from tutorial addiction, and why the most powerful tool in Lightroom isn't a new preset or technique - it's simply sitting down and editing with intention.Visit out website at: https://wild-eye.com/

For years, Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom have dominated the photo editing world, setting the gold standard for photographers and digital artists. However, in today's creative landscape, more photographers are seeking alternatives - whether to avoid subscription fees, find a workflow that better fits their style, or explore new editing tools. If you're looking for powerful alternatives that rival (or even exceed) Adobe's offerings in some areas, Capture One, ON1 Photo RAW, and Luminar Neo should be on your radar. Let's dive into how these platforms stack up and why they might be a great fit for your photography workflow. Ultimately, the "best" choice depends on your needs, editing style, and budget. If you need the absolute best RAW processing and studio-level control, Capture One is unbeatable. If you want a Photoshop + Lightroom replacement without ongoing fees, ON1 Photo RAW is a strong pick. And if you want creative edits in minutes without a learning curve, Luminar Neo is a powerhouse.

This week, I'm recording late in the lounge with a glass of Irish whiskey, reflecting on the usual mix of chaos and joy in a photographer's life. Some good news first: the Mastering Portrait Photography podcast has landed in the https://podcast.feedspot.com/photography_podcasts/ https://podcast.feedspot.com/portrait_photography_podcasts/ https://podcast.feedspot.com/uk_photography_podcasts/   I share stories from a beautiful small wedding at Le Manoir, talk about how AI is both transforming and disrupting our industry (and how I'm using it to write useful code for the studio), and confess to completely changing my Instagram strategy so it actually makes me smile—feel free to check it out @paulwilkinsonphotography. The highlight? Racing through three days of corporate headshots in London, where the CEO arrives and my flash promptly refuses to fire—just classic timing. A reminder: knowing your kit inside-out and keeping calm is what clients are really paying for. If you fancy joining me in Oxford for a day of portraits, stories, and good company, there's still a spot on our next Location Portraits Workshop. https://masteringportraitphotography.com/resource/mastering-portrait-photography-on-location-in-oxford-9th-june-2025/ As ever: trust yourself, enjoy the process, and be kind to yourself. Cheers!   Transcript   Introduction and Setting the Scene Well, it's been a while since I've recorded a podcast quite like this, but I'm sitting in our lounge. It's late. I've got a glass of Irish whiskey for a change, which is just beautiful. All of my whiskeys have been bought by someone and I love that. I love sitting and thinking of someone, a family member or a friend. 'cause I enjoy, well, the smell and the taste. There's some, I dunno why I like whiskey so much. Um, I just do, there's something, I think it's 'cause my mom and dad liked it. And possibly because of that, I find there's something really magical about the smell and the taste and the color and just, I don't know, something that sat in a barrel for a decade or more just appeals to me, and it has been another busy week. It's Wednesday as I record this, and yet it feels like it's been the end of a week. Um, it's just, it always feels like I'm playing catch up, but I think that's just the nature of the job. When I worked at Accenture all of those years ago, I quite liked the project mentality. Although we were busy, we ramped up and up and up and up until eventually we got to the delivery date. And then of course, once it was delivered, you've got a week or two off all of that pressure built and built and built. It was to an end point. And I don't think, as a photographer, I felt like that since I left that world now it's just a constant churn of to-do lists, retouching shoots, being energized, even things like recording this podcast. You have to be really in the mood to do it, and I'm not always. There have been plenty of times when I've sat down to record something and even a large glass of 15-year-old single molt doesn't do it. However, I am here, it is late. So forgive me if I sort of tumble over some of my words, but I really wanted to get, um, an episode out. I'm Paul and this is the Mastering Portrait Photography

We know, it seems like we just talked about AI in photography, but the field is moving pretty fast. Google announced improvements to their generative AI models, which are both impressive and sloppy at the same time. We also look at new AI-based landscape masking tools in Lightroom, speculate on what WWDC could bring to Apple's Photo app, and more.

"The limitations of photography are in yourself, for what we see is only what we are." -- Ernst Haas   "A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he is being photographed." -- Richard Avedon   In this episode, Ward opens with a deep dive into his Lightroom library, explaining how “hunting” for decisive moments differs from “fishing” for happy accidents—and proving the point with a newly-found two-way-mirror shot in Japan that almost became digital landfill. The chat drifts into portrait philosophy via Richard Avedon, landing on the idea that real power often comes from stripping a set-up down to tripod, subject, and nerve.   Next up is Fuji's just-announced X-Half.  Antonio admits he's already on the preorder list, while Ward likes the film-advance lever but winces at the price.  The boys agree its JPEG-only, half-frame design is less a beginner's toy than a deliberate hand-cuff for photographers who enjoy working inside tight creative fences—much like the old Fuji GA645 or Antonio's beloved X-Pro3 .   Antonio contemplates using his medium format Fuji for big-sensor portraits once he touches down in Nebraska, while Ward packs a Rolleicord TLR for some square-format rodeo portraits. On the lo-fi end, Antonio bolts a recycled disposable-camera lens onto his tiny X-M5, declaring that “expectations set to fun” is a perfectly valid image-quality setting for his upcoming road trip.   The episode rounds out with a vintage-photo detour: Antonio uncovers a century-old log-cabin print, and Ward feeds it to ChatGPT, which promptly pinpoints its location and time period. Maybe. That sparks a brainstorm on turning unlabeled family prints into a themed zine instead of consigning them to attic oblivion or the trash.     Subscribe to our Substack Newsletter Help out the show by buying us a coffee!

Love the episode? Send me a text & tell me.Often, we see editing in isolation from the creative process.In fact, many creatives don't realise that editing is not an optional step, and miss it.The consequences of weak editing or missing it altogether are never obvious.When our photos don't stand out, we are unable to create a brand's style or don't see progress in winning clients - we think of everything except editing. The role of editing and how it might be holding us back is not something that comes to us. This week on the podcast, the queen of editing, Roberta Dall'Alba, shares powerful editing tips, but also how to use them to grow your business. She shares the direct link between editing and business growth, an efficient editing workflow that saves time, pros and cons of different Lightroom versions, the power of AI in editing, bringing storytelling to editing, and much more.This isn't just a masterclass in post-processing but a mindset shift to edit like a true Creative.Read more at https://myfoodlens.com Follow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens/ Show notes available at https://www.myfoodlens.com/blog/120-photo-editing-tips-to-elevate-your-photography-grow-your-business-with-roberta-dallalba-part-1Have a question?

In this episode, I dig into a question that's always lurking in the back of a portrait photographer's mind – what really makes light flattering? It's a term we all use, but what does it actually mean? Is it just about soft shadows and low contrast, or is it more about the connection between the subject and the photographer? I talk through this while reflecting on a busy week – from a stunning wedding at Head Saw House to a corporate shoot for Barclays, and a spontaneous portrait session that reminded me why I love this job. I also share some thoughts on the updated Mastering Portrait Photography book, which hits shelves in September, complete with fresh images and a whole new chapter on AI post-production.

I started it with a trip down to Devon with the in-laws. One great thing about being married to Sarah, whose family are from Plymouth, there are many great things about being married to Sarah. But one of the ones, in terms of geography, at least, is her family still lived down in Plymouth, in Devon, by the sea. So it was absolutely glorious to spend a couple of days down there walking the dog, drinking a beer, enjoying the sunshine, and the sun is still shining here right now. And on that happy note, I'm Paul. I'm very much looking forward to a barbecue, and this is the Mastering Portrait  

#560 In this special “Workshop Episode” of the podcast, I, Raymond Hatfield, share my thoughts and experiences fresh off hosting our very first in-person workshop in Chicago. After nine years of connecting with listeners online, I finally brought together members of our community for a full day focused on photography, education, and camaraderie. This episode is a personal reflection on how meaningful it was to see faces behind the names, and why getting together in person can be a game-changer for learning and growth.KEY TOPICS COVEREDThe Power of In-Person Workshops - Bringing listeners together in Chicago broke down the walls of digital connection. Everyone experienced firsthand how learning alongside others, asking questions in real time, and building bonds can accelerate growth in ways online learning rarely can. I saw people relax, open up, and walk away with real friendships and new confidence.Foundational Skills: Light, Composition, and Camera Settings - I designed the content to help both beginners and experienced photographers by focusing on the essentials—how to use your camera, how to “see” light, and how to compose compelling images. I shared personal images, good and bad, to spark discussion, and guided everyone through hands-on practice, including a photo walk with a model.Streamlining Editing with Imagen AI - I talked about my early struggles with editing and how it almost made me quit at the start. Now, with tools like Imagen AI—which learns your editing style and speeds up post-processing—I can spend more time doing what I love: shooting. The workshop gave attendees hands-on exposure to this workflow, empowering them to consider new tech solutions to old challenges.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTS“Getting it Right in Camera”: For me (and now for Kim!), this means achieving the look I want straight out of the camera, not just aiming for the “perfect” exposure meter reading. It's about matching your image to your style and not being afraid to shoot for your own vision.Quality of Light: Quality isn't just about how bright the light is; it's about its softness, direction, and how it shapes your subject. Understanding and controlling these qualities, even when using flashes or dealing with tough outdoor light, can level up any photo.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow have your experiences learning photography in person differed from learning online?What does “getting it right in camera” mean for your own style, and how do you apply this when shooting?Can you share a breakthrough moment you've had with light or composition?What's your biggest editing headache, and could something like Imagen AI help you enjoy photography more?RESOURCES:Check out Imagen AI - beginnerphotopod.com/imagen See Behind-the-Scenes Workshop Photos  - https://adobe.ly/44oOIxeSign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

En este episodio, vamos a repasar nuestro flujo de trabajo para gestionar los archivos en un viaje fotográfico.    >   TALLERES DE FOTOGRAFÍA Ya están disponibles las fechas para los Talleres de Fotografía de Paisaje que formarán parte de mi oferta formativa. Si te apetece acompañarme en nuevas aventuras fotográficas, respetando todas las medidas de seguridad, echa un vistazo. Plazas limitadas. Talleres de Fotografía de Paisaje con Rafa Irusta CÓMO GESTIONAMOS NUESTROS ARCHIVOS CUANDO VIAJAMOS TEMAS DE INTERÉS COMENTADOS EN EL EPISODIO Introducción  Preparativos antes del viaje En ruta: el día a día durante el viaje Copias de seguridad Al volver a casa Consejos finales y errores comunes Conclusión En este episodio de Distancia Hiperfocal, Roger Vivé y yo repasamos paso a paso nuestro flujo de trabajo para gestionar los archivos durante un viaje fotográfico. Compartimos nuestras rutinas, consejos y también algunos errores que hemos cometido para que puedas preparar tu propio sistema de trabajo y minimizar los riesgos. Puntos clave tratados en el episodio: Equipos y tipos de archivos generados: Ambos usamos cámaras con doble ranura y disparamos en RAW. Además, utilizamos drones que también generan archivos RAW y, en algunos casos, vídeo. En situaciones complicadas de luz, solemos disparar en bracketing para tener más margen en la edición. Preparativos antes del viaje: Es fundamental llevar suficiente número de tarjetas y baterías, todas bien etiquetadas y organizadas. Antes de salir, dejamos las tarjetas formateadas desde la propia cámara o dron y las baterías cargadas. Llevamos tarjetas de distintas capacidades para evitar tener todos los archivos en una sola unidad. En ruta: el día a día durante el viaje: Cada día, al finalizar la jornada, volcamos los archivos a discos SSD (más rápidos y seguros). En viajes largos, llevamos al menos dos discos SSD y mantenemos las copias en ubicaciones separadas (mochila, coche, bolso de acompañante). Esto nos da una seguridad extra en caso de pérdida o accidente. Organización de archivos y carpetas: Usamos una estructura clara por año, mes y nombre del lugar. La gestión puede hacerse desde el sistema de archivos o desde Lightroom. También hablamos sobre la importancia de no formatear tarjetas sin estar 100% seguros de que ya se han volcado correctamente los archivos. Lightroom y colecciones inteligentes: Explicamos cómo usamos Lightroom para importar, etiquetar y organizar las fotos. Las colecciones inteligentes nos permiten agrupar imágenes por cámara, objetivo o localización de forma automática, facilitando la búsqueda y selección. Errores comunes: No volcar los archivos al final del día, llevar pocas tarjetas, sobrescribir tarjetas sin haber hecho copia, no llevar cables y adaptadores adecuados. Todo esto puede suponer una pérdida de material valioso. Conclusión del episodio: Nuestro objetivo principal es no perder nuestras fotos. Invertimos tiempo, esfuerzo y dinero en cada viaje, así que cuidar nuestros archivos debe ser una prioridad. La clave está en encontrar un flujo de trabajo que se adapte a ti, con los medios que tengas disponibles, pero siempre pensando en la seguridad y la organización.

It's a late Sunday afternoon, the sun is shining, and the smell of freshly cut grass (and the inevitable hay fever) is drifting through the studio as I sit down to record this episode. After a whirlwind few months — including seven incredible weeks photographing on Crystal Cruises — it feels good to be back behind the mic, even if I'm a little sniffly. In this episode, I'm reflecting on the magic of authentic portrait photography, the rapid rise of AI in our world (and our inboxes!), and why the human touch still matters more than ever. Plus, there's news about upcoming workshops, a few tech tips for cleaner files and faster edits, and a good-natured rant about AI-generated podcast pitches. As always, it's a mix of stories, laughter, tech, and a reminder to stay creative — and stay human. Cheers P.

Um and also the reason I'm recording it quite so late at this stage of the day. It's 'cause my neighbors have been cutting their grass and they do have the loudest petrol mower in the world. I'm Paul, and assuming I can get through this without sneezing, this is the Mastering Portrait Photography

HT2234 - SIXES in the Field When I first started playing with the idea of Seeing in SIXES (six image projects), I spent time scouring my Lightroom catalog for candidates and cousins. As my experience has evolved with this idea, I've found that thinking in terms of six image projects in the field has given me an entirely new approach when I'm out with my camera.

Adobe has released Photoshop for iPhone, a bonafide version of real Photoshop, not to be confused with Photoshop Express or other earlier variations. We take a look at this new app with one main question in our minds: Who is this for? A programming note: Toward the end of the episode we talk about using the Remove tool in Photoshop and Lightroom, but Jeff forgot to take screenshots. When he tried to reproduce the same actions later, he didn't get the same results as described while we were doing it. So we apologize that we don't have visuals to accompany what we're describing.

Ryan and I talk about Adobe Creative Cloud products, such as my usage of Premiere Pro in my film class and his usage of Lightroom (not sponsored), how our days went, and whether middle schoolers are fully conscious of the world around them.

HT2197 - Keyword Hierarchies Thank goodness Lightroom allows for keyword hierarchies. I'm assuming that other software does, too, and if not it's a shame. Here is an overview of how I use hierarchies to make finding that image I'm searching for a lot easier.

We wanted to bring you a special episode featuring a live conversation Chioma Nnadi had with Daniel Lee, the Chief Creative Officer of Burberry. The interview was a part of Vogue's Lightroom exhibit in London, which explores the history of fashion and design on the runway. We could not imagine a better place to talk with Daniel, being that Burberry is the ultimate British brand and we were steps away from his alma mater, Central Saint Martins. Daniel took the helm as Chief Creative Officer at Burberry in 2022, and has been wowing us ever since with his ability to embrace legacy as well as innovation for the brand. This conversation was recorded just ahead of his Winter 2025 Ready-to-Wear Show.

HT2158 - Locked Away on Your Harddrive How many images do you have in your Lightroom database? Don't we all know there are some really good images there that we are yet to share with anyone? As irrational as it might seem, I can't help but feel sorry for those images locked away on our hard drive that will never have a chance to bring joy or depth or understanding to anyone because we never finish them.

HT2154 - To What Degree of Not Perfect Every time we press that shutter button we do so because we think we are about to capture a winner. You wouldn't press the shutter release if you thought you were about to capture a loser. And then something happens between the time we press the shutter to the time we reject the image in Lightroom or Photoshop. Where did we make a mistake?

Apple Podcasts |Spotify |TranscriptMore Resources: Mini Session Theme Ideas | Prep WeekPricing your mini sessions can feel like a guessing game. Should you charge what other photographers do? Should you price lower to attract more bookings? Or maybe you feel like you're just throwing out a number and hoping it works. If you've ever second-guessed your pricing, you're not alone! Many photographers struggle with setting prices that not only attract clients but also ensure profitability. Today we'll be calculating your cost of doing business (CODB) because pulling numbers from thin air or copying what other photographers are doing won't help YOU and your business succeed! Let's learn how to price your mini sessions for profit!Here's What We'll Cover:Why Calculate Your CODB (3:40)Gathering Your Numbers (7:02)Calculating Your Numbers (10:34)Brand New Resource - Prep Week (20:18)How to Price Your Mini Sessions for ProfitHave you ever felt like you're working hard, but you're not sure that you're seeing the profit from? Have you ever wondered if you're even covering your costs and making this thing worth it? Whether you're a numbers person or not, learning to calculate your Cost of Doing Business is a must! In the simplest terms you make sure all expenses and taxes are covered in your revenue AND you're paying yourself. Statistics show that most photographers don't make it past year 3. This is solely because they don't price their work appropriately.Gather Your NumbersStep one you need to list EVERY expense you have. Let's take your Spring Minis Sessions for example! List out any expenses that would go towards them including softwares like your CRM (gallery delivery), Lightroom or Imagine AI (your editing software), email marketing, google domain, website costs, gear, props or client gifts, etc! If you pay for something annually divide it by 12 to give you a monthly amount. Next, calculate the number of hours you spend on Spring Minis. Don't just include your shooting time! List the time spent marketing, driving to locations, editing and post processing! Lastly, ask yourself: how much do I want to be paid for my hourly rate? And please pay yourself more than a teenager who works at Costco! I suggest no less than $50/hour because you are well worth your time!Calculating Your NumbersIn any given month for Spring Minis list how many sessions you realistically want to book. For example's sake we'll say 16 (that's 2 days of minis). Here's where gathering your numbers come into play. How many hours will you spend on these specific Mini Sessions (for everyone it's different, but remember to include marketing, post processing/editing, shooting time). So, you should have your total number of expenses for one month and the number of hours you will work for these sessions. Take your hourly rate multiplied by the number of hours for these sessions and that's your profit. Next, take your expenses and add them to your profit amount. Finally,...

The L-mount Alliance was formed in 2018. While there has been a steady release of cameras for this mount since then, considering the number of companies involved, it is a bit thin – especially for still photographers. With the recent announcement of the Leica SL3-S -- which feels like it's not the best value for the dollar in ways that go beyond even typical expectations of Leica cameras in the past-- we found ourselves asking: if you were coming in fresh to mirrorless and were thinking of investing in a system, is L-mount worth it over the alternatives? If not, why? What is missing? Chris Niccolls, Jordan Drake, and I dig into it.

#525 In this episode of the podcast, I chat with Chris Britton, a talented photographer and father who juggles family life with his passion for capturing moments. Chris beautifully articulates the balance between creative freedom and client expectations, the importance of being present, and overcoming social media pressures.THE BIG IDEASBalance Creativity and Client Desires: Blend your artistic vision with client needs to create compelling images that satisfy both parties. Be Present in the Moment: Stay engaged and mindful during shoots to capture authentic, meaningful photographs. Overcome Social Media Pressure: Focus on personal growth and expression rather than social media metrics like likes and shares. Embrace Imperfection: Accept noise and other imperfections as part of the creative process, enhancing your willingness to experiment.PHOTOGRAPHY ACTION PLANStay Present in Your Shoots: Turn off notifications during photo sessions to minimize distractions. Take a moment to breathe and observe your surroundings before pressing the shutter.Experiment with Light and Color: Use natural window light to explore different moods and effects. Try adding warm tones in Lightroom by adjusting the color temperature or using split toning.Blend Creativity and Practicality: Plan a family photoshoot with a mix of candid and posed shots to practice balancing client and personal creativity. Set specific creative goals for each shoot, such as trying new compositions or lighting setups.Improve Your Technical Skills: Spend time learning to control shutter speed and aperture to tell clearer stories. Experiment with different ISO settings to find the balance between reducing noise and maintaining image quality.Enhance Your Post-Processing Consistency: Calibrate your monitor using built-in tools or a dedicated calibration device to ensure color accuracy. Create a preset in Lightroom that matches your preferred style for easy and consistent editing.RESOURCES:Follow Chris Britton on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/iamchrisbritton/ Grab your free 52 Lightroom Presets athttp://freephotographypresets.com/ Build Your Dream Photography Business and Keep More of the Money You Earn with CloudSpot Studio.And get my Wedding and Portrait Contract and Questionnaires, at no cost!Sign up now at http://deliverphotos.com/Connect with the Beginner Photography Podcast!
