Jay Cassario is the photographer every known photographer knows. He's been around for long enough to see the industry eb and flow and has this remakably simple outlook on life. A Leica Ambassador with a decade of weddings under his belt Jay didn't come into the wedding industry until long into his adult life. A career that left him feeling unfulfilled gave way to an opportunity to get back to doing what his mom did when he was a kid. Wedding photography was literally in his blood however this simple desire to live authentically, raise his son on the farm he grew up on in southern New Jersey, and photograph weddings from a place of intentionality is all his. Jay has this magnetic composure to him. A larger than life guy with a million stories who has maintained a posture of humility and kindness despite incredible success. We're excited to share with the world the Jay so many photographers know and call friend. The normal dude with a big laugh behind some absolutely remarkable images. https://www.jaycassario.com/ Check here for Jay's website or find him on instagram https://www.instagram.com/jaycassario/ This episode mentions our new partnership with Narrative Edit - the one place where you can cull, ship, and curate Ai edited images right through Adobe Lightroom with our very own color science applied. https://narrative.so/edit for more information and make sure you try the Iconic Color Style by Miles Witt Boyer.

She is a force. Vanessa Joy is everywhere. Canon Explorer of Light. The founder of The Photo Insiders. Prolific speaker, personality, educator. Sought after wedding photographer. Vanessa Joy is a pretty remarkable brand but behind all of that she is this really approachable, humble, beautiful human finding her way through success and failure in the most relatable way. We set off in this conversation with her to take a break from some of the more tip intensive episodes or heavy high level interviews to just unplug with Vanessa. To chat about her challenges, her wins, and how she juggles being a mom and a wife and a friend with big dreams and so many eyes watching.

This is the come back tour. The episode where we talk through what Jared and I have been up to over the last few months as we've taken a short break from this podcast and tackled a project we've been dreaming up for years.

They're not even available for another week which means that listeners of this episode will be a few of the first to get their hands on them.

Curate. It's that word that people don't want to hear, but need to. The challenge here is simple : are you showing work that communicates your value to the right people, in the right ways, at the right times? Are you leaving your best work on the editing floor or including too much? Are your processes for editing and post production stuck in the early 2000's? Are you actually getting any better or is every Uncle Joe snagging a camera at Cost Co catching up to you? Before you get all down on yourself consider this : maybe as a photographer you're best work just isn't being found hidden down deep amongst the most obvious stuff. Maybe just like your favorite band ever, it's the deep cuts that say the most about you as an artist. Sitting on this episode with two absolute legends. James Broadbent founded Narrative to solve the problems that photographers all over the world are facing. From the headaches of blogging to managing the culling and cataloging process outside of Lightroom this is a dude with incredible vision and insight and right along side him we bring in Kyle Wilson, wedding photographer, artist, and Narrative team member to spit ball together the way curating work can elevate it's value.

From documentary photography on the other side of the world to high fives with President Obama, mountain biking adventures to working with the press Garrett has chased down the stories of humans all over the world. His eye for photography shaped early on influenced by a love for culture and an education from one of the world's most prestigious photography schools Garrett's story comes alive as he starts to talk about finding his place in the world. We asked Garrett to be a part of this podcast because of just a sliver of his story. Leaving the Washington DC area to move closer to a place where his passion for mountain biking and the outdoors could be a more prominent part of his family's life but what we got out of him was more than Jared and I could possibly have expected. A story of intentionality, willingness to learn, humility, and so many amazing successes along the way. The simple fact is that Garrett Hubbard as a photographer, a film maker, a director, a father, and a husband is a man that we can all learn from as he so calmly describes his craft through the vein of it's value to sharing the stories of other people - to other people. I walked away from this interview with a keen appreciation for the talent and the accomplishments of the people who quietly drive our industry forward always more focused on doing a good job than getting praise for it. Perhaps what strikes the hardest about this interview with Garrett is his willingness to give credit to the people from all over the country that have simply opened doors for him to walk through. Community is a critical element to success and Garrett Hubbard is absolutely willing to share his success with the people who have contributed to it. https://www.garretthubbard.com/ PhotoCo and the Photographic Collective Podcast are productions of The Photographic Collective LLC ©2023.

What comes next for photographers, videographers, and creatives? Community. It's the simple solution to almost every problem that arrises. How do you become more successful? Community. How can you refine technique? Community. How can you work on your craft, your creativity, avoid burn out, fight impostor syndrome, achieve a more consistent workflow, and enjoy your work more? Community. This episode is a live, completely unscripted and off the cuff conversation with the four members of the leadership team for the Photographic Collective. We're peeking behind the curtain on an all new platform that is being prepared for our community that will include modules for training, small and large group sub communities, and collaborations with world class educators. It is a big task trying to cast vision for something that can affect the industry as a whole and these are the voices of a few of the people who are looking to do just that. If you're looking for a business coach, an accountability team, an editing workflow, a marketing strategy, or just a friend in the imaging industry we're discussing today something being built simply to serve you. This conversation with UK educator Tom Wright, US based film maker and director Brandon Buccheri, Architectural and portrait photographer, producer, and musician Jared Mark Fincher and Fujifilm Global Ambassador and wedding photographer Miles Witt Boyer is a candid, organic, raw approach to casing that vision.

Everybody has heard of GPresets. Like everybody. These Lightroom presets are stylistic and edgy and as if the signature packs aren't rad enough they've somebody partnered with a few of the coolest photographers in the world to match and sell their color science as well. This episode isn't about G though, at least not directly. It's about Greg. The guy behind GPresets. Greg is this brilliant musician turned photographer turned entrepreneur in Northern California who has spent the last several years simply helping photographers get more out of their images. This chat was really laid back and unplugged just getting to know Greg and talking through what the industry has been like through a different perspective over the last few years and though we didn't pack this thing with actionable tips on ways you can get better as photographer if you listen closely you'll soak up some really powerful knowledge from a guy who has conquered a lot of the wedding and photography world on his journey to the top.

Ben Hartley you guys. The most dynamic, most interesting, most energy packed educator in the photography space shows up in a real way in this episode. I asked Ben to have this chat with me to talk about how he has shifted his social media focus to a much more community minded approach over the last several years but what I got instead was, true to form, an intense purpose filled conversation with a brilliant mind that went much deeper. Ben is absolutely hilarious but his comedy only aids his perspective that when we show up as our best selves, when we are intentional about lifting up the communities and friends and people right around us, and when we act with integrity the results are always positive. Whether you've found Ben because of the Six Figure Photography Podcast, or his Mastermind Group, or the Booked Solid workshop series, or Abundance, or heard him on a platform stage at WPPI, or this is your first experience diving into the mind of this amazing friend of mine let me tell you directly : Ben is one of the most authentically kind people I know. This conversation all centers around his perspectives on the "long game", showing up every day in an industry that you love with your best work, your best intentions, and your most positive outlook. You'll hear throughout this chat a general perspective that is pretty counter cultural to the wedding / portrait photography industry these days that says, more than likely you already have all that you need baked into you to succeed. Ben's vision as a coach is just to help you navigate through the garbage standing in your way and that perspective is as bold as it is beautiful. Grab a coffee for this one, a notebook, and prepare to just be filled up with some goodness. https://sleek.bio/benhartley The Photographic Collective Podcast is a production of PhotoCo, hosted by Arkansas based Photography team Miles Witt Boyer and Jared Mark Fincher.

She directed, shot, and edited a feature length documentary in 9 countries, in 9 languages all about coffee. If I don't have you hooked there I don't know what will. Today's guest is Brooke Bierhaus. She's done documentary film and photo work in 18 countries with an extreme and somehow gentle passion towards telling the stories of the humans in the places she travels. She's bold, assertive, strong, and somehow filled with so much grace and compassion for the world around her. This is a story filled with courage. From war torn countries to small mid western towns in the US Brooke's story is filled with nuggets of home and kindness and throughout the last year of getting to know her I will say that her passion for story comes only second to her love of relationship. This is a special episode. Not only is Brooke a friend right here in my home town of Bentonville, Arkansas, she was also a client of mine on the other end of my camera at her wedding earlier this year. Getting to know her, drink coffee and eat the most delicious coffee cake at her home, hang out with her husband, and now offer a platform to help tell her story has been an absolute honor.

Tell better stories. That's a mantra every photographer and film maker should strive to repeat. The live a life filled with the curiosity of the human experience is a special thing and to be a full time story teller is a job title reserved for a pretty select few creatives.

Fer Juaristi is one of the most creative wedding photographers in the world today, and most humble. His work has permeated and affected the industry at a global level mixing wild cinematic movement and composition with quirky design and tons of energy. From his home in Monterey, Mexico to the corners of the world Fer's photographic journey has left him with a really unique and special perspective on his family, his priorities, and why this job matters so much. This sit down with Fer was all about maximizing our creative ceiling. Seeing things in new ways, pursuing personal growth over business success, and building a strong community of like minded friends are just a few of the topics that we covered on our way through Fer's story. Fer says it best in this interview. For years the wedding photography industry has been consumed by people quick to niche themselves into a style or micro genre. Documentary shooters. The Looks Like Film people. The Fearless Photographers. Often what we end up seeing when these communities arise is a level of insecurity towards the way other people are doing things. Fer's perspective on pulling little ideas, concepts, creative tactics from as many sources as possible and allowing all art to permeate into his work may be the reason that his photography is so creatively compelling. It really is a great conversation with one of my very favorite shooters in the world today.

The beginning of a brand new series filled with voices of real people fighting through specific obstacles in their lives. Whether through mindset training, finding community, healthier habits, or simply the sheer will to persist we'll be diving deep in shorter episodes with these people to get to the core of what keeps them moving forward. This episode is with wedding photographer Derek Couts though the conversation easily applies to all creatives and entrepreneurs. How can we as individuals pursue a career and a purpose with our lives that is larger than our fears, our insecurities, and our self doubts? More importantly how can we build healthy habits that bring like minded people along side us in the process? Derek is a good friend of mine, an admin and member of the Photographic Collective, a free to join community built simply to inspire positivity and courage in creatives. He's a bit shy in this interview because the ask was for him to be pretty vulnerable but I'm certain that his humility and transparency will touch people in a very authentic way.

Forty podcast episodes sitting and chatting with a few of the biggest names in the photography and mindset coaching world. Forty time clicking record with a notebook in front of me and a sincere goal of trying to uncover some little tidbit of truth that's worth listening to. Forty times that Jared has cleaned up the audio (You'll see I actually messed up my mic on this one) and helped to mix down this podcast with the goal of being one of the easiest to listen to options for entrepreneurs during their busy lives but this episode is different. David Kovacs is a good friend, a member of the Photographic Collective, and a brilliant photographer and business owner who challenged me to sit on the other end of the mic. So this is our interview, of me - Miles Witt Boyer. We chat through everything from PhotoExpo, the Bedford Camera convention in Little Rock, Arkansas that I just had the opportunity to keynote to new camera equipment that I'm excited about and then of course some of the lessons I've learned along the way doing this podcast for about a year now!

Are you spending more of your life running towards something or away from something? Most of us are doing one or the other. For the vast majority of the world, perhaps especially the photography and creative industry at large the idea of the hustle, the grind, the no days off mindset takes us on a constant rollercoaster of brief moments of inspiration and near total burn out. Creative fatigue lurks behind every corner because we confuse two key things. Busyness and productivity. Today's episode is all about breaking down the fallacy of the hustle. Listen, after 15 years running a successful photography business I can certainly say I've spent more weeks working over 50 hours than I have under but what I've learned is this : I waste as much time as I spend and I can't get any of it back. The reason so many creatives lose their passion, their focus, and their relevance isn't creative evaporation, it's constant fatigue and you know what we need? A break. The grace to step away from the camera, our inboxes, social media, networking events, education and plug into our families and friends. The intentionality to dive head first into a life lived with purpose and careers spent fulfilling a passion that reflects that purpose rather than just perpetual busyness. The scarcity is in your head. The fear is holding you back. The answer may not be more work but more intentional play.

If you're a photographer in 2022 you're likely living a bit of a double life. The one on social media where you're a refined playful sudo-influencer with a cool big brimmed hat and the cutest latte's and then the one where you've got stacks of past due bills and tax statements you don't quite understand along side memory cards you think are backed up on your desk at home. Sound familiar? Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating both ends a bit but you get the idea. In this day and age being an active photographer for some reasons makes us want to hide the mistakes that make us the most human and yet, if you'll listen to this story you might just hear about a mistake that I made recently and how it actually brought me closer to the people on the other end of my camera. Being a wedding photographer or portrait photographer doesn't have to mean we live perfect lives, nor does it mean that our goal for our work should be perfection. I'm Miles Witt Boyer, I'm just a normal dad and husband living in middle America. I get to go to a few really cool places with a few really awesome people and in the middle of all of that stuff, I also make mistakes, get tired, eat chips and queso instead of chicken and asparagus, and forget to call my friends back. So how about we do this thing : 23 minutes of me just being... me. Bored yet? That's ok too - maybe behind it all I'm a little boring. You'll have to listen to find out.

PART 2! Jai Long has a story that has been told countless times, but not like this. This is a guy who's backstory has informed and prepared him to become one of the most sought after and prolific educators, podcasters, and personalities in the photography world today and yet for as often as he is interviewed people miss the magic that makes Jai so special. This episode is all about finding that magic. Understanding the way a kid from Australia who has been homeless several times, in and out of government housing with no formal education can not only beat the odds but turn his life into something so remarkable forever changed the way I look at all Jai has accomplished. He's brilliant, creative, kind, and bold. Not one to raise his hand when he has a question, not one to wait in line to be served, not one to follow social standards that get in the way of pursuing dreams, Jai's life has been a series of courageous, unrealistic goals turned into reality. We took some time in this episode to understand the origins of the Six Figure Business Map, the Wedding Summit, Free the Bird Photography, NoSkin Clothing, and so many of Jai's other businesses and ideas and what I learned was that Jai simply refuses to separate himself from his work but also refuses to separate his work from his joy. He goes all in on his success and his relationships simultaneously making sure that wherever he shows up he is at his best. One of the best interviews I've heard him give, though clearly I'm a bit biased, and I'm eager to see the world see Jai Long through a new lens.

The art of saying "No" and the way it increases the value of your Yes. If you only listen to one podcast episode this week in the entire world of podcasts, whether you're a photographer, film maker, designer, creative, or just curious entrepreneur this episode should be it. The vulnerability that Brandon Buccheri takes into this chat to talk about how important those two little letters are is amazing. There's a misconception in business that we become more valuable when we solve every problem that comes our way but the truth that Brandon discusses with me in this episode is that we have to know which problems to solve, which clients to take on, which paths to take, and which future we want to embrace as professionals. It is in learning to say "no" to opportunities that will dilute or distract from our goals that we increase the value of the problems we choose to say yes to. Mindset coaching like this can be a subtle and yet powerful way to realign yourself to your goals. In The Collective we're not simply empowering creativity, we're creating community. Encouraging creatives to make more intentional decisions for their families, their industries, and their businesses that translate into more purpose filled lives and more joy. Brandon Buccheri is an original member of the Photographic Collective, an active admin in our free to join Facebook Group, and the cofounder of a production company based in the Dallas/Fort Worth area called Evoko Films. His compassion for his industry and passion for telling stories with films has opened the door to a remarkably wise and mature perspective on business.

They say it's in the eye of the beholder but what does that even mean? Is it possible that we've all gotten a little off track with what we think is beautiful? Is it possible that in a world of insights and photoshop and social influence the very idea of something being beautiful doesn't mean what it used to? In this episode with Michigan based wedding and portrait photographer David Kovacs we're digging into this very topic. How can we reset out mindset to be more sensitive, more inspired, and more surrounded with beauty as artists? How can we allow the smallest details in life to permeate into our art and our work in truly beautiful ways? This episode continues on our season three goal of taking our podcast deeper in to the mind and motivation of all creatives, not just photographers and videographers and helping us to form more healthy, more complete, and more empowered habits.

"I just want to use my imagination and make money with it." We couldn't have picked a more bold start to season 3. Jay Worsley is not only one of the most talented and recognized film makers in the industry his perspective and purpose is absolutely inspirational. The future of film making and photography isn't measured in insights and metrics of likes and follows and Jay explains to us why our mindset and our purpose has to be bigger. Your creative mindset has to rise above surface level concepts of success in order to leave a lasting mark on the world around you and this episode absolutely was a challenging and also relatable reminder of the battles creative entrepreneurs face today. From Jay Worsley "I'm one of those crazy passionate people. I find something I'm passionate about and my head just explodes with ideas, opportunities, and memories.I have this idea that there is an insane amount of beauty in the world. Whether in the deep forest, the sandy beaches, or even in the people surrounding us. This idea that there is endless story and beauty every where you look. That is what I pour into my films and any project I am lucky to be a part of.I create story driven films meant to evoke emotion while at the same time showcasing a brand's message or product." sonderstorytelling.com instagram.com/jayworsley The Photographic Collective is a free community of creatives powered by Miles Witt Boyer along side a few of the most influential names in the photography and film making world today.

From the moment Rebecca Bradley starts talking on this episode with her cool New Zealand accent her obvious passion for people takes over. She's an artist with a fascination in humanity and it has lead her to not only be an incredibly successful and connected wedding photographer on the other side of the world from us here in the PHOTOCO headquarters but also connected her with one of my very favorite software companies. Rebecca's art, alongside her job with NARRATIVE is all geared around serving people and this conversation with her is such a beautiful authentic exploration of where all of that started for her along with a few key lessons and things she's learned along the way.

You can't expect yourself to power through week after week without fatigue. You can't be all things to all people. You can't perfect a process professionally and not expect it to affect how present you are personally. You can't grow without rest. This week's episode is all about your health. We're taking a mental health break from loads of amazing advice from a few of the world's most affluent artists and photographers to bring it all back to center for a moment. We all know that we are the most vulnerable to impostor syndrome, insecurity, fear, and ultimately failure when we're stretching ourselves too thin and diluting the magic that makes our work special in the first place. So this week I'm alone just talking through some of the lessons I've learned lately. What it's like to take time to hear my kids giggle, to see my wife smile, and to spend a little of the money I work so hard to earn. We've got to find balance and community if we want to grow healthy businesses that empower us to live bold, intentional lives.

This is where it all started. In the middle of 2020 I joined into a little app called clubhouse and found myself somehow thrust on stage moderating a group of a few thousand speakers right along side these two gentleman from the UK. We've never met in person but the bond was instant because while we were speaking to photographers and with photographers we were talking about things that carry so much more depth and just camera settings and compositional rules. Over the course of the next few months the three of us became unlikely friends bonding over how important having a positive mindset can be and how critical community is. As the masks came off Clubhouse faded away and yet Igor Demba, Tom Wright, and myself - Miles Witt Boyer somehow were left with this happy memory of what it felt like to shake the industry up a bit. It was the beginning of this hunger for me to serve and give and really the precursor for this podcast that Jared Fincher and I started so it only feels right to bring these two remarkable artists and visionaries and friends onto the podcast to talk about pursuing purpose as a photographer. Igor Demba is world renowned as one of the absolute biggest and best names in the wedding industry. From being recognized as one of the world's best by Harper's Bazaar to being published and featured in every major publication globally Igor's work has connected with millions of photographers and yet his humility, his big laugh, and his genuine joy is what leads the way for him. A fun and involved dad and a passionate and present husband Igor is absolutely an example of priorities well placed. Tom Wright is a UK photographer with a background in weddings and portraiture that left to pursue commercial work several years ago. Tom has a keen eye for cinematic and beautiful sculpted light, a rare ability to story tell both for brands as well as individuals and an insatiable appetite for knowledge. He is as composed as he is brilliant, humble and approachable while being the talent behind some remarkable work. Over the last two years Igor and Tom have partnered in a number of projects the most recent being a training program that Igor is producing and that entire relationship grew from these chats. Sit back and soak up some joy in this episode from three friends scattered across the globe as we talk about how we came together, where our lives are going, and how important community, purpose, and positivity are in shaping future success as a photographer.

Nadia Meli needs no introduction. She is this brilliant, bold, beautiful soul that is simultaneously deep and approachable. Her sense of compassion for the humanity around her along side an innate ability to create organic and intentional imagery rose her to the top of the industry both in Europe and globally very quickly but it really is finding "home" for her that seems like it matters most. An early adopter of a photographic style that not is so trendy and popular Nadia's work is filled with emotion and movement. As a Nikon ambassador, an educator, a podcaster, and a brand representative for a number of large names Nadia's work has been seen worldwide and yet she has this calm grace and balance to her that shows what is in my opinion the most beautiful characteristic to her as an artist - her humanity. I've had the pleasure to chat a bit with Nadia back and forth over the last year but this podcast interview was the longest we've spent in conversation and my hope is that as a listener you walk away as inspired to find intentionality and purpose and balance in your life as I was. An Italian born in Germany and now living in London pursuing editorial and fashion portraiture with a rich history and long list of awards as a wedding photographer Nadia Meli is not only an inspiration, she's a beautiful soul.

He's one of the biggest names in mindset and business coaching in the photographic industry. Ben Hartley has not only elevated his own career as a photographer to continually new heights over the last ten years, he has spent most of it intentionally inviting people to join him and to be frank - his ideas are a bit radical. Showing up every day and giving free education, free mindset tips, free perspective to thousands of people in his mastermind group, managing a booming workshop and mentor training program, continuing to run what is widely recognized as one of the top wedding photography studios in the world, and being an incredibly involved dad and husband sounds like a lot, but Ben is just really hitting his stride. This guy's energy, positivity, and perspective are filled with purpose and intentionally and in this talk we chat through not only a bit of his backstory but how he found the courage to really pursue success at this level. I found Ben through the Six Figure Photography Podcast years ago and long before I ever even dreamed of being on the other end of the microphone I knew I wanted to build a relationship with this guy to better understand him. Here we are years later, close friends and I now get the opportunity to share a bit of his wisdom, his big laugh, and his joy with our listeners.

Part one of this interview was one of our most listened to episodes ever. No surprise there because while it's always tempting for podcasts to focus on things like how amazing photographer's shoot or where they've been this conversation with Jonas Peterson is all about the why. It's a lesson that Jonas has learned and a process he has refined over a career filled with adventures and awards. In fact, the more acclaim Jonas receives the more he attempts to sidestep the limelight in the name of authenticity for his clients. Part One of the Jonas Peterson interview by Miles really dug into Jonas' origin story coming from the advertising world and being named one of the top photographers in the world in his first year as a full time shooter. This part of the interview focuses more into what comes next for Jonas, how he sees the future of the industry, and ways that we can all be more mindful, more intentional, more authentic photographers. For all of the time so many of us in the photography community spend educating at workshops, creating content on YOUTUBE, mentoring, shooting, training, editing, training associates, selling albums (and the list goes on and on)... The truth is that most of us can trace some part of how we do what we do back to the influence that Jonas Peterson has had on the industry. His friendships with names like Fer Juarsiti, Gabe McClintock, Jose Villa, etc are a perfect example of the level of work Jonas has created and yet for as accomplished as he is perhaps what we can learn the most from this conversation with him is how important it is to approach every client, every wedding with the humility to see them as the heros in their own story. No matter how famous Jonas has become his approach has always been to serve and love his couples and it shows perhaps most in his most recent work as he pairs Super8 video, expired Polaroid Film, and remarkable imagery into this art that is uniquely him.

Everybody knows the name... Jonas Peterson is this larger than life photographer who's style not only help define the way so many artists shoot but who arguably helped to shift the direction of the entire industry almost over night. A successful advertising mind, an educator, a prolific speaker, a personality that has become so attached with the wedding photography community. What people may not always get the chance to see however is the way that Jonas' eye as a photographer, his perspective on the humanity of his clients, and his vision for the importance of images and video in our lives is so beautifully unique. We broke this conversation up into two episodes simply because there was no way to cut off such great content. That said this first half of our call with Jonas Peterson tracks his life as a destination wedding photographer and overnight success shooting over 40 weddings his very first year and traveling the world with a camera. The wrap up is a fascinating perspective from somebody who certainly deserves to have his heard that the “rockstar” destination photographer life can be not only self serving but also pretty toxic to the relationships at home and the couples who just want to have their authentic stories captured. We're left understanding the way rising to the absolute peak of the Photography Industry so quickly gave Jonas the opportunity to see his role with a camera for his clients in a revitalized way. Serving his couples and their stories intentionally rather than the klout that can come with shooting selfishly. Super grateful for the time Jonas invested in this call from his home in Austin, Texas. He has been a favorite photographer of mine for years but watching his style shift and along with it his perspective on how to serve his clients and make sure that his work is honest and organic is something our whole industry could benefit from.

Dawn Jarvis is just absolutely remarkable. This episode was such a relaxed, candid conversation with a friend all about the way she sees her job and the doors that have flown open for Dawn as she's really leaned into her passion. From elopement and micro wedding photographed from the Oregon Coast and all over the world to seniors and families Dawn has leveraged her playful personality and wildly creative mind to get into everything from selling presets that immolate her filmic grainy style to guide templates that have become central to her client experience. So many photographers today feel this intense need to follow the pack, niche down, focus on developing their style, and chase down all of the newest gear and then wonder why they're drowning in impostor syndrome and a lack of motivation. Dawn's perspectives on simply living within our purpose and pursuing growth and style and opportunity only when it feels like the right time to do so and with intentionality is so inspiring. What we're left with when we follow Dawn's advice? Not simply work that feels organic but a clientele that is fully invested in the way we can capture with is authentically there. I think you're going to love this laid back chat. It's rare to get the opportunity to hear a photographer and educator as well known as Dawn dig this deep into her philosophy and Dawn's love for her clients, her family, and her process really shines through.

I'm flying solo this week with a big topic on my mind. What does marketing look like without social media? If we abandon the desire for likes and follows what are we left with? How many of our businesses are inadvertently tied, or worse leveraged against Meta, or TikTok, or some other company that consistently puts their business interests ahead of ours? The truth is that the first step to longevity in business is making sure that we are future proofing our value while also evolving marketing strategies. So this episode is an intentional look into five simple tactics we can implement in our wedding and portrait photography businesses that will not only allow us to rely less on social media but will allow the places where we do utilize social media to penetrate more intentionally into a demographic of people who are more likely to respond. Photographers - You Don't Need Social Media. You Don't Need Watermarks. You Don't Need the constant affirmation of the masses to validate you as an artist. But - what you do need... Community and clients. This episode is all about realigning us to how we are showing up for our businesses in more tangible, relationship oriented ways.

Imagine being a photographer with such an incredible passion for storytelling that you can't help but cry simply at the thought of it. We live in an age where we are literally rewriting the stories that have been told to us for generations with the truth while simultaneously taking on the challenge of being the voice for people who may not have one on their own. Whether we're wedding photographers, war photographers, documentary photographers, or even portrait photographers the images that we capture and the heart behind them matter more now than perhaps ever before because of the remarkable opportunity we have using our images to share truth. Petronella is a New York based wedding photographer with a love for multicultural, interracial, authentic story. Her photos and her artistic process are focused on authentic beauty but what makes her special isn't simply her creativity but her story. Being a first generation immigrant to the United States her story involves learning to embrace the culture she left behind to come to the United States and realizing how critical it is to see the beauty in the differences of the people around her. Petronella is a Fujifilm Creator, a Rangefinder Rising 30, an award winning and articulate educator and as you'll hear a deeply emotional and creative soul.

Miles Witt Boyer is a FujiFilm X-Photographer with a giant heart. Within minutes of we signed on Zoom for this recording, it felt like I'd know Miles for years. For a guy as busy as he is--married with two kids and running a photography business with multiple photographers--it's remarkable that you have his full attention the entire time he's with you!  This is one of those conversations that I kept nodding my head and laughing in agreement! Miles is a genuinely thoughtful dad, husband and human-being first, and photographer second. I think is that is the perfect way to describe his photography approach--people first.  Listen as we discuss values like Authenticity, Connection, Emotion, and taking our clients on journey that's more than just taking pictures. We explore what we as photographers are truly signing up for when we're hired as a wedding photographer and how to connect in a deeply meaningful way with our clients. Miles has a ton of great stories that illustrate this approach in a beautiful way! This episode is sure to blow some minds, require some soul-searching, and help you see the experience leading up to the "photography session" in a completely new way.
