What actually makes someone sought after? In this episode, I sit down with wedding photographer, educator, coach, and host of the All Angles Podcast, Claire Hunt. Claire went from working as a pediatric trauma nurse to building a six-figure photography business, eventually booking $10K–$15K weddings and coaching hundreds of photographers and videographers along the way. But this conversation isn't really about how quickly she grew. It's about what she did to become someone people already wanted before they ever submitted an inquiry. We talk about building a personal brand, consistently showing up in your marketing, and creating messaging that connects what you do with what your ideal clients actually want. Then we go deep into one of my favorite parts of the conversation: the inquiry-to-booking process. Claire walks through how she responds to inquiries, why she loves discovery calls, how she keeps those conversations relational instead of transactional, and how she uses the "yes ladder" to help couples confidently move toward a decision without making the conversation feel pushy or salesy. We also talk about what happens when all of this starts working together: better clients, higher bookings, more confidence, stronger work, and the momentum that eventually allows you to become truly sought after in your market. If you feel like your work is good but you're still competing on price, packages, and deliverables, this episode is for you. In this episode, we talk about: Claire's journey from pediatric trauma nurse to six-figure photographer What actually makes someone "sought after" Why your personal brand matters just as much as your portfolio Showing up consistently even when your audience is small Desire-based messaging and selling through emotion Warming up potential clients before they ever inquire Why sending every piece of pricing information immediately can work against you Turning the inquiry process from transactional to relational How Claire structures discovery calls Asking better questions instead of pitching yourself Building the "yes ladder" throughout a sales conversation How to handle a lead who is already ready to book Why relationship-focused sales can lead to higher bookings Building momentum with better clients, better work, and better pricing Claire's Website: http://education.clairehunt.co Find Claire: https://www.instagram.com/itsclairehunt  Freebie: https://freebie.clairehunt.co/hook-inquiries  Discovery Call Script: https://products.clairehunt.co/discovery-call-script 

Apple's surprise Mac Mini and Mac Studio updates arrive just before iPhone season, accompanied by a casual social-first launch video. The M6 and M5 Pro Mac mini options make a strong case for creators who want a compact desktop for video editing, while aftermarket SSD upgrades offer a way around Apple's expensive storage tiers. The M5 Ultra Mac Studio pushes further into visual effects, AI-assisted photo and video editing, and private local AI, with high-memory configurations and the option to cluster machines for larger models. USB-C genlock adds a specialized but genuinely useful tool for frame-perfect sync in multi-camera shoots, screen recordings, and virtual production.

Should you put your pricing on your website? This week I took mine off my site for the first time in about 2 years. But why? In this week's episode I break down why I decided I needed to take my prices off my website for now. I also dig through some thoughts about why you should or shouldn't have prices on your site. This episode will provide some practical tools to help you decide whether or not YOU need your pricing on your site or not. Let me know in the comments what you do and why. I would love to start a conversation! The Shifting Focus Experience, 10/27 and 10/28 in Tulsa OK: https://john-bunn.com/the-shifting-focus-experience

This episode might ruffle some feathers. Recently, I posted that I was looking for a photographer and videographer to help capture The Shifting Focus Experience in exchange for a ticket to the event. Almost immediately, the criticism started: Why would an educator who teaches people to raise their prices ask someone to work for free? So I decided to talk about it. There's a massive difference between someone expecting you to give away your work and you strategically choosing to invest your time, talent, or services into an opportunity that can move your business forward. In this episode, I'm talking about the difference between a scarcity mindset and an abundance mindset, why I still say yes to unpaid opportunities, and why I continually see some of the most successful people in the premium and luxury market sponsoring events, donating their services, and finding ways to get themselves into the right rooms. Your network is a lot like a 401(k). The investments you make today might not pay you tomorrow, but over time, relationships compound. We'll talk about how to decide which opportunities are actually worth saying yes to, why "exposure" isn't always a dirty word, and how thinking only about what pays you today could be keeping you stuck in the middle market. If you know where you want your business to be in two years, start asking yourself: What can I invest today that gets me closer to that room, that work, and those relationships? Because sometimes the opportunity that doesn't pay enough today is the opportunity that changes everything tomorrow.

Showrunner Oren Uziel and director of photography Darran Tiernan join us to discuss how Prime Video's “Spider-Noir” was designed, shot, and finished for two distinct visual versions at once: “Authentic Black & White” and “True-Hue Full Color.” They break down the creative and technical challenges of building both looks simultaneously, from old-school noir influences to modern custom LUTs, as well as the enormous collaboration required across the camera, lighting, production design, costumes, makeup, and visual effects departments."Nothing was brought to set that hadn't been looked at already through both LUTs... It's measure twice, cut once. This was prep twice, shoot once."—Oren Uziel, Executive Producer and Showrunner, “Spider-Noir”Be sure to check out “Spider-Noir,” now streaming on Prime Video, in both black & white and color, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts, now available as a video podcast on YouTube and Spotify!Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

The Shifting Focus Experience: https://john-bunn.com/the-shifting-focus-experience  Chris J. Evans went from photographing more than 100 weddings a year on Maui to building an international destination photography brand where multi-day wedding collections now start between $35,000 and $50,000. But that transformation didn't happen simply because he became a better photographer. In this episode of Shifting Focus, Chris and I break down the decisions that changed the trajectory of his career: getting clear on what made his work different, intentionally building a fashion-forward brand, raising his prices, investing in the right rooms, and developing genuine relationships with planners and other people who could open new doors. Chris shares how attending his first Engage introduced him to an entirely different level of the wedding industry, how he rebuilt his network after moving from Maui to California at the beginning of COVID, and how one relationship eventually led to photographing Robin Roberts' wedding and opportunities around the world. We also talk about what happens after you've already built a successful career. Chris shares why refinement matters more than constantly reinventing yourself, how he's adapting his imagery for a new generation of clients, and why today's couples don't just want to see what a wedding looked like. They want to feel what it felt like. If you're trying to move into a new market, raise your prices, strengthen your brand, or get into rooms that feel one level above where you are today, this conversation is packed with perspective on what that progression actually looks like.

Exposure Triangle Mastermind Waitlist: https://john-bunn.com/exposure-triangle  For one year, I've been building the Shifting Focus podcast from the ground up. In this episode, I'm reflecting on everything that led to this moment, from launching How to Film Weddings back in 2018 to making the difficult decision to walk away and start over with a brand new vision. I share the highs, the failures, the uncertainty, the lessons, and why I believe taking uncomfortable steps is often the only way to build something meaningful. If you've ever wondered why I made the transition, what happened behind the scenes, or what I've learned over nearly 500 podcast episodes, this is the story. Whether you're a wedding photographer, filmmaker, or creative entrepreneur trying to get unstuck from the middle market, I hope this episode encourages you to keep showing up, stay consistent, and trust the process. Thank you for being part of this first year of Shifting Focus. I truly couldn't have done it without you. If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you. Send me a DM and let me know what part of your own journey you're in. And if you know someone who needs this message, share this episode with them.

This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,060, July 14, 2026. Today's theme is, "Pardon My LUTs" I'm Derrick Story. Film simulations, photo styles, and LUTs aren't gimmicks. They are artistic tools to help photographers better match the mood of their images to the subject material they are capturing. This past weekend, I did exactly that during a visit to the classic baseball stadium, Oracle Park in San Francisco. The resulting images convey the feelings I had there spending time there with my family. I'll explain more, plus industry news, on this week's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

What does it actually take to build a photography brand that commands $50,000 weddings? This week on Shifting Focus, John sits down with Danilo & Sharon, an ultra luxury wedding photography team based in Europe whose work has become synonymous with some of the world's most exclusive celebrations. Together, they unpack the journey from building a successful business to creating a brand that attracts extraordinary clients around the globe. They discuss what separates luxury from ultra luxury, how intentional branding influences every client interaction, and why trust, reputation, and consistency matter far more than simply creating beautiful work. From building an internationally recognized brand to earning the trust of high-end clients, Danilo & Sharon share the mindset shifts, business decisions, and long-term strategies that helped them reach the top of the luxury market. If you're a wedding photographer, filmmaker, or creative looking to get unstuck from the middle market, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to build a brand that people don't just admire, but actively seek out.

THE SHIFTING FOCUS EXPERIENCE: https://john-bunn.com/the-shifting-focus-experience In this episode of Shifting Focus, I sit down with photographer, educator, and creative powerhouse Chloe Ramirez for one of my favorite conversations we've had about creativity. While Chloe is known for her incredible lighting and artistic portraits, this conversation isn't really about lighting. It's about becoming the kind of artist people can't replace. We talk about why creativity is a muscle that has to be trained, how to stop apologizing for your unique style, and why the more authentically you show up, the more valuable your work becomes. Chloe also shares her journey from school photography to becoming one of the most recognizable creative voices in wedding photography, how she built relationships that fueled her business, and why feeding your creative soul is one of the best investments you can make—not just for your art, but for your career. If you've ever felt creatively stuck, struggled to find your own style, or wondered how photographers build brands that command premium prices, I think you're going to love this conversation.

The Shifting Focus Experience - https://john-bunn.com/the-shifting-focus-experience  For Jack and Alyssa of Film & Fable, it led to shooting 57 weddings in a single year, traveling nonstop, building a destination wedding brand, and eventually discovering what kind of business they actually wanted to build.

Most of us have the wrong idea of what outsourcing is, so in today's episode I break down my thoughts.

This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,055, June 9, 2026. Today's theme is, "Capture vs Post Production: What's More Important?" I'm Derrick Story. Cameras today include a variety of tools, such as built-in film simulations and LUTs, to help us put our creative stamp on every picture we capture. At the same time, post production apps are more powerful than ever, and easier to use. So, what's the perfect mix of creative capture and image editing? I explore this question on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

Shifting Focus Experience - October 27 & 28 - https://john-bunn.com/the-shifting-focus-experience What does it actually take to build a photography brand that consistently attracts premium clients? In this episode of Shifting Focus, I sit down with wedding photographer Miranda Anderson to talk about the decisions, risks, and strategic moves that helped her grow from second shooting weddings to building a highly sought-after photography business. We discuss the power of social proof, how one wedding can completely change the trajectory of your career, why networking still matters more than most people realize, and how small improvements compounded over time can create massive growth.

Cinematographers Darren Tiernan, ISC and Peter Deming, ASC are the DPs of Spider Noir, the new MGM Plus and Amazon Prime series starring Nicolas Cage as the hard-boiled 1930s New York detective version of Spider-Man. The character is based on Marvel Comics featuring Spiderman Noir, and first introduced in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Tiernan and Deming created a series that looks like a classic film noir using vintage lights, custom LUTs and a “noir vocabulary.” We dive into: -How the production created a dual release simultaneously in both black and white and color. -Lead DP Darran Tiernan worked for months on LUT development and a workflow that kept every department aligned on both versions from day one. Monitors on set showed what the scenes would look like in black and white. -Why both Darren and Peter used old tungsten lights with Fresnel lenses instead of LEDs whenever possible. Not out of nostalgia, but out of necessity for getting the hard light that defines film noir. -How rigorous preparation, from shot decks before the first meeting to photo boards and green screens on location, allowed creative freedom to take risks in the moment when the cameras were rolling. -Why the goal was never to recreate classic noir but to absorb its philosophy of shadow, composition and expressionistic light and apply it to this specific story. That distinction is what makes Spider Noir feel fresh rather than like a period piece.

But what use is an invisible planet? It's not like material planets could aid us in realizing the lore is a Piccolo Situation, sealing off dimensions, returning a secret planet every 1000 years, referencing other ages of heroes, determining who/what has been "born," refusing to accept reality, realizing our hero is out over his skis, depending on Chaz to fight, rejecting an order from god, accessing Luts' memory piece-meal, meeting another talking sword, referencing past protagonists, and creating a future free of terror.

What does it actually take to start booking higher-end weddings fast? In this episode, I sit down with Holden and Gracie of Kate Laine Events to talk about how they went from college friends with an idea to planning their first $350,000 wedding just a couple years into business. This conversation is about way more than "luxury weddings." We talk about trust, presentation, confidence, networking, content creation, vendor relationships, and why experience matters just as much as the quality of your work.

We also dive into: • How they started booking higher-end clients early • The importance of personality and storytelling in content • Why relationships with vendors matter so much • The role confidence plays in pricing and positioning • How to scale without losing quality or burning out • What actually makes couples trust you with a large wedding budget This episode is a masterclass in building momentum in the wedding industry without pretending to be someone you're not.

What actually makes someone become the photographer everyone knows, trusts, and refers? In this episode of Shifting Focus, I sit down with Noella Andres to talk about authority, branding, education, and why simply posting great work online is no longer enough to stand out. Noella shares her journey from wedding photographer to educator, speaker, and industry leader, along with what photographers often misunderstand about influence, visibility, and becoming known for something specific. We talk about: • Why authority is built slowly over time • The difference between attention and trust • How education can elevate your business and brand • What actually leads to speaking opportunities and brand deals • Why networking still matters • Creating strategic content instead of random content • Launching courses, podcasts, masterminds, and live events • Why "industry gatekeeping" is changing If you want to become more than just another photographer posting online, this episode is for you.

Join THE EXPOSURE TRIANGLE Mastermind Waitlist: https://john-bunn.com/exposure-triangle In this episode of Shifting Focus, I'm talking about the one thing I believe matters more than talent, gear, social media strategy, or even your portfolio when it comes to booking high-end weddings: trust. Over the last 19 years in the wedding industry, I've seen firsthand that couples, planners, and families don't just hire the "best" work. They hire the person they trust most. In this episode, I break down how trust impacts your brand, your referrals, your pricing, and your ability to consistently book better weddings. I share personal stories from recent weddings, lessons I've learned while building relationships with planners and clients, and practical ways you can become someone people feel confident referring and investing in. If you've ever wondered why some creatives continue to grow while others stay stuck in the middle market, this episode is for you.

That shift led to over $350,000 in bookings and, more importantly, consistent referrals from planners and past clients. This is not about chasing trends or going viral. It is about building momentum, staying top of mind, and creating a brand that attracts the right buyers over time.

When a male patient presents with lower urinary tract symptoms, should you blame the bladder or bust the prostate? In this SUFU-sponsored episode of BackTable Urology, Dr. Benjamin Brucker (NYU) and Dr. Craig Comiter (Stanford) join host Dr. Chris Tenggardjaja (Kaiser Permanente) for a discussion on evaluating and treating male LUTS using a bladder-and-outlet framework. --- This podcast was developed in collaboration with: Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine & Urogenital Reconstruction (SUFU)https://sufuorg.com/home.aspx --- SYNPOSIS Through a case-based approach, they review initial evaluation strategies including symptom history, validated questionnaires, uroflowmetry, post-void residual measurement, and when tools like voiding diaries can help clarify the diagnosis. The conversation then moves to management, outlining a stepwise approach from behavioral interventions and medications to surgical options when symptoms persist. The doctors discuss how prostate anatomy, side effect profiles, and patient priorities guide treatment selection, when urodynamics may add diagnostic clarity, and why addressing outlet obstruction early may help prevent more difficult-to-treat bladder dysfunction over time. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction06:31 - Workup for Frequency and Nocturia11:41 - When to Use a Voiding Diary19:18 - Behavioral Therapy26:40 - Post-Finasteride Syndrome30:03 - Surgical Options44:41 - Nocturia Counseling47:32 - Botox With Outlet Surgery49:47 - When to Order Urodynamics54:14 - Bladder or Prostate? --- RESOURCES Society of Urodynamics, Female Pelvic Medicine & Urogenital Reconstruction (SUFU)https://sufuorg.com/home

What if the most expensive healthcare decisions aren't made in the boardroom — but in the exam room, when the wrong infection gets treated with the wrong antibiotic? In this episode of the Your Health University, Podcast, Jamie sits down with Madison Browning, a registered nurse in urology at Your Health, to talk about what proper urological care actually looks like, why it matters far beyond the individual patient, and how a strong, collaborative provider team is the difference between a patient thriving and a patient stuck in a revolving door of emergency room visits. What you'll hear in this episode: Why getting a UTI diagnosis right the first time has massive implications for patient health and system costs The role nurse practitioners play in specialized urology care — and why their expertise is often underestimated How the team-based model at Your Health empowers every provider to collaborate and deliver better outcomes The direct connection between outpatient urology care and reduced hospital stays, ER visits, and downstream Medicare and tax costs Madison's genuine gratitude for the team around her — and what it looks like when a healthcare culture actually works If you've ever wondered whether the healthcare system could do better — this episode is proof that it already is, one patient at a time. www.YourHealth.Org

Prostate artery embolization may be performed by interventional radiologists, but its indications are rooted in urologic evaluation. In the second installment of our 2026 PAE University Series, Dr. Chris Beck is joined by Dr. Art Rastinehad of Northwell Health, a urologist with formal interventional radiology training, to share how his dual background informs both when to offer PAE and how to execute it thoughtfully. --- This podcast is supported by an educational grant from Guerbert. --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Rastinehad discusses his path from urology into IR and how that combined training shapes his current hybrid practice. He outlines a practical BPH consult framework grounded in urologic evaluation, emphasizing appropriate imaging, careful patient selection, and the importance of ruling out malignancy before proceeding with embolization. From his perspective, durable outcomes begin with disciplined workup and clear counseling around expectations, including sexual side effects and alternative treatment options. The conversation then turns to procedural strategy. Dr. Rastinehad reviews anatomic considerations, large-gland and technically challenging cases, and his experience incorporating liquid embolics into PAE. He compares glue and particles, detailing workflow decisions, medication strategy, and post-procedure management. Throughout, he highlights scenarios where PAE may not be the most appropriate intervention and how other BPH tools may better serve the patient. The episode concludes with a discussion of the future of PAE, including questions of training, collaboration between specialties, and reimbursement; underscoring the value of cross-specialty insight in contemporary BPH care. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction01:26 - Interventional Urologist with IR Roots04:13 - Leaving Urology for IR: Fellowship Life, Case Volume & Mentors08:45 - Building a Hybrid Urology/IR Practice14:32 - PAE Benefits, Sexual Side Effects & Why MRI Matters17:39 - BPH Consult Playbook22:17 - Anatomy Deep Dive24:27 - Edge Cases & Big Glands28:24 - Why Glue?35:39 - Glue vs Particles39:40 - Post-PAE Follow-Up41:28 - Antibiotics and Medications46:18 - Tough Cases50:53 - The Future of PAE --- RESOURCES Early Outcomes of Prostatic Artery Embolization using n-Butyl Cyanoacrylate Liquid Embolic Agent: A Safety and Feasibility Studyhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39074551/ Dr. Rastinehad's Websitehttps://drrastinehad.com/

Maxine Owens didn't grow her business by chasing more weddings. She did it by refining her work, elevating her brand, and building intentional relationships with the right people. Today, she designs some of the highest-end weddings in the industry while taking on only a limited number of events each year. In this conversation, Maxine shares how she transitioned from zoology to luxury floral design, why rebranding transformed her business, and how genuine networking created real momentum. We also talk about client experience, creative alignment, and why saying no is often the move that moves you forward. This episode quietly reflects all three pillars of the Exposure Triangle: Work, Brand, and Network.   Follow Maxine on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maxowensdesign/  Check out Maxine's Website: https://maxowensdesign.com/

I recorded this discovery call where the bride was only interested in video, and ended up booking me for both video and photo a week later. This booking was over $25k (I can't share the exact numbers due to privacy). I don't look at these as 'sales calls' I look at them as 'discovery calls.' I am there to discover what they are looking for, and seeing if I am a good fit. I don't like being pushy, or making people feel like they have to buy something. So I don't do that. Enjoy!

The middle market. Booked, but not confident. Busy, but capped. Improving, but still stuck. In this episode, I finally show you the system that changed everything for me. Not tactics. Not hacks. A structure that helped me see my business clearly, stop guessing, and start making decisions that actually moved the needle. This is the same system I built and used last year as I moved out of the middle market and generated over $400,000 in bookings. It showed me why better work alone wasn't fixing it, where my business was leaking energy, and what actually deserved my focus. If you've felt close but never quite breaking through, this episode will help you see why. I'm also inviting you to a free live training called Getting Unstuck from the Middle Market, where I'll walk you through this framework live and help you identify what's actually holding your business back and what to focus on next.

BIG announcement coming soon, be the first to know here: https://johnbunn.myflodesk.com/mentorship  In this episode of the Shifting Focus podcast, I'm talking directly to creatives who feel stuck in the middle market. You're booking work. You're busy. Your craft is improving. But something still feels off. In this episode, I break down why some creatives eventually break out while others stay stuck for years. Not because of talent. Not because of luck. But because of how they respond to being stuck. I share what the middle market actually is, why it's such a dangerous place to live, and the difference between chronic pain and acute pain in business. We talk about the patterns that quietly keep creatives capped, the choices that create real momentum, and what it personally cost me to move out of the middle and into a calmer, higher-value season of business. This is not a tactics episode. This is a clarity episode. And it sets up next week's conversation, where I'm going to break down the framework that made growth repeatable for me. If you've ever thought "I'm close" but nothing seems to tip, this one's for you.
