I denne episode af Fotografiske Signaler er det lytterne, der sætter dagsordenen. Jeg svarer på spørgsmål fra kommentarspor, e-mails og videoindsendelser – og vi kommer vidt omkring! Fra valg af objektiv til Fuji-kameraer, til tanker om hvordan man tager sit fotografiske virke seriøst – og ikke mindst, hvordan man undgår at drukne i kaos af filer, når man arbejder med både stationær og bærbar computer.Vi snakker om udstyr – men ikke bare for udstyrets skyld. Det handler om, hvordan det hjælper os til at skabe. Jeg deler bl.a. erfaringer med mit nye Insta360-kamera og hvordan det ændrer mit workflow, både teknisk og kreativt.Derudover vender vi:* Hvordan man vælger det rigtige objektiv – med fokus på kompakthed vs. lysstyrke.* En tankevækkende lyttermail fra Keld om at tage sit fotografi alvorligt, skrive projektbeskrivelser og føre logbog.* Overvejelser omkring workflow mellem Mac og Windows.* Om at kunne arbejde udenfor i solen – og hvilken MacBook Pro der faktisk kan det.* Hvorfor man (måske) igen skal overveje en NAS.

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. If you've ever wondered what makes a light truly flattering – and why it's about more than just the gear – this episode is for you. And as always, wherever you are and whatever you're doing, be kind to yourself. Cheers P.

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.

Fanja stuurde ons deze suggestie en we hebben er een half jaar mee in onze maag gezeten - wat maakt een foto interessant. Ja, weten wij veel. Maar dat is geen antwoord. Zonder te veel na te denken en vooral op gevoel en met eigen mening zijn we er maar eens een half uurtje voor gaan zitten. En eigenlijk zijn we hier nog niet over uitgepraat.Zou er een wetenschap zijn die dit onderzoekt? Heeft het alles te maken met de gouden spiraal of zitten toch de illuminatie erachter? Wat een foto interessant maakt, is voor iedereen verschillend, maar om jou als fotograaf toch wat houvast te geven, denken we graag een half uur hardop over de vraag: “Wat maakt een foto interessant om naar te kijken?”

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?

¡Hola fotógrafo! Este mes en la Academia estamos dándole caña a Lightroom a petición vuestra ya que ha habido muchas mejoras en los últimos meses y pediais tenerlas todas aglutinadas en el mismo lugar. Pues bien David Gámez lo ha explicado con la maestría que caracteriza a aquellas personas capaces de hacer fácil lo complejo y entendible lo confuso. Aquí os dejamos un resumen de dichas novedades y si sois miembros de la Academia de Fotógrafos ya tenéis el primer vídeo del mes y si aún no lo sois… ¡Atentos al Día del Padre! ;-)Un abrazo, buenas fotos y… ¡dentro podcast! 

“En nu hebben ze WEER iets veranderd, en die Zuch zit in de sekte van Trump, EN EN EN!” Moeten we niet gewoon massaal van Instagram af, of zijn er ook nog valide, persoonlijke of zakelijke redenen om lekker op Instagram te blijven en vooral noest door te posten? Het woord “noest” verraad dat ik (Michiel) dit schrijf, hè? Ik stuurde nog porretjes op Hyves, joh. Natuurlijk hebben we hier een mening over. Is het wel allemaal zo zwart-wit en kun je zomaar van Instagram af? Wat is het alternatief, of moeten we gewoon met z'n alleen Chinese apps installeren? Met alle commotie van de afgelopen weken konden we niet anders. 30 Minuten Instagram. Jij vindt er vast ook iets van, dus laat een reactie achter in de comments!

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.
