Wedding Photography.  So many new photographers decide to shoot weddings because they think it is a sound money making genre.  So many wedding photography businesses fail quickly because said photographers had no idea how much work is actually involved in shooting a wedding and running a wedding business.  It takes a special person to not only be good at wedding photography, but also to be able to make it a full-time business that supports a family of 4.This was not the case for my guest Mr. Joseph Ellis.  Along with his wife Stephanie, Joseph has shot over 800 weddings in the last 20 years after transitioning to weddings from his early career as a photojournalist.  Together, the couple owns and operates Big Wall Family Photography studio in Dallas, Texas. Joseph shared some great advice for new wedding photographers and lots of details about how he works with wedding couples and the gear he uses.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LinksWebsite URLs:http://www.josephmark.com http://www.bigwallstudio.comhttp://www.familyphotolife.comInstagram URL:https://www.instagram.com/josephmarkphoto/Facebook URL:https://www.facebook.com/josephmarkphotoYouTube URL:http://www.youtube.com/josephellisphotographer- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TOGCHAT ResourcesShow Website: https://togchat.comEpisode Web Page:  https://www.joeedelman.com/joseph-ellisMy Website & Portfolio:  https://www.JoeEdelman.comDon't forget to check out THE LAST FRAME LIVEWednesday evenings at 6:00PM ET US on YouTube!Visit:  http://lastframe.live for past episodes.Calendar of upcoming Live-Online Presentations & Speaking Events:https://www.joeedelman.com/edu/I would love to be your PHOTOGRAPHY MENTOR! https://www.joeedelman.com/mentoring-for-photographers/- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -FTC Disclosure: No sponsors have paid for inclusion in this video.  I am an Olympus Visionary photographer, a Delkin Image Maker, a TetherTools Pro and a StellaPro Champion of Light.  These companies do provide me with various pieces of gear that I frequently discuss or mention, however all words and opinions are my own, and I was not asked to produce this podcast.Support the show (https://paypal.me/joeedelman)

I had a great conversation this week with Mr. Marc Silber.  Marc is a life-long photographer, best-selling author three times over, filmmaker and host of the Advancing Your Photography YouTube series.Marc started out learning darkroom skills and the basics of photography at the legendary Peninsula School in Menlo Park, CA, in the '60s.  If you are not familiar with the Peninsula School they are renowned for their no grade approach to education and support of student collaboration, positive risk taking, and creativity.  Marc moved on to hone his skills to professional standards at the famed San Francisco Art Institute and has since moved into teaching photography in workshops all over the country.One of the things I admire most about Marc is his dedication to education. Not just sharing his knowledge and experience, but his own continuing education and you will see in his books, his videos and even in our conversation, he has a brilliant quote from an inspirational photographer for almost any situation.But his quotes are not just focused on iconic names like Adams and Leibovitz.  He also makes it a point to learn from new photographers. When I booked Marc to be on the podcast, he shared a list of things that he has recently learned from talking to budding photographers and I thought that would make for a great conversation and provide some excellent teaching opportunities.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LinksWebsite URL:https://www.silberstudios.com/https://marcsilber.smugmug.com/Instagram URL:https://www.instagram.com/marcsilber Facebook URL:https://www.facebook.com/marcosilberYouTube URL:https://www.youtube.com/marcsilberTo purchase Marc's book Advancing Your Photography: Secrets to Making Photographs that You and Others Will LoveVisit: https://www.advancingyourphotography.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TOGCHAT ResourcesShow Website: https://togchat.comEpisode Web Page:  https://www.joeedelman.com/marc-silberMy Website & Portfolio:  https://www.JoeEdelman.comDon't forget to check out THE LAST FRAME LIVEWednesday evenings at 6:00PM ET US on YouTube!Visit:  http://lastframe.live for past episodes.Calendar of upcoming Live-Online Presentations & Speaking Events:https://www.joeedelman.com/edu/I would love to be your PHOTOGRAPHY MENTOR! https://www.joeedelman.com/mentoring-for-photographers/- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -FTC Disclosure: No sponsors have paid for inclusion in this video.  I am an Olympus Visionary photographer, a Delkin Image Maker, a TetherTools Pro and a StellaPro Champion of Light.  These companies do provide me with various pieces of gear that I frequently discuss or mention, however all words and opinions are my own, and I was not asked to produce this podcast.Support the show (https://paypal.me/joeedelman)

Who knew?  Elopement Photography.  I honestly didn't know it was a thing.  I learned about this growing niche of wedding photography recently and in my search to find a great elopement photographer to speak with, I found an awesome photographer and entrepreneur — Brianna Parks.Brianna is a 22-year-old California and Pacific Northwest elopement photographer who started a photography business after realizing a 9-5 job wasn't what she wanted to do with her life.After two years of business in the traditional wedding scene, Brianna decided to take the leap and focus exclusively on elopements, or weddings with under 30 guests. Her passion for her work is contagious and you will learn quite a bit from this young businesswoman — regardless of the genre of photography that you specialize in.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LinksWebsite URL:https://briannaparksphoto.comInstagram URL:https://instagram.com/briannaparksphotographyFacebook URL:https://facebook.com/briannaparksphotography- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TOGCHAT ResourcesShow Website: https://togchat.comEpisode Web Page:  https://www.joeedelman.com/brianna-parksMy Website & Portfolio:  https://www.JoeEdelman.comDon't forget to check out THE LAST FRAME LIVEWednesday evenings at 6:00PM ET US on YouTube!Visit:  http://lastframe.live for past episodes.Calendar of upcoming Live-Online Presentations & Speaking Events:https://www.joeedelman.com/edu/I would love to be your PHOTOGRAPHY MENTOR! https://www.joeedelman.com/mentoring-for-photographers/- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -FTC Disclosure: No sponsors have paid for inclusion in this video.  I am an Olympus Visionary photographer, a Delkin Image Maker, a TetherTools Pro and a StellaPro Champion of Light.  These companies do provide me with various pieces of gear that I frequently discuss or mention, however all words and opinions are my own, and I was not asked to produce this podcast.Support the show (https://paypal.me/joeedelman)

I think it is fair to say that the exorbitant pricing for some new camera gear is driving the expansion and popularity of the secondhand market.  It has been a very long time since I purchased use gear or sold any for that matter, so I wanted to reach out to an expert.My conversation in this episode is with Mr. Phil Kaplan.  Phil is the Product and Marketing Manager for KEH Camera in Atlanta, Georgia.You may have heard of KEH or seen their ads online.  KEH has been around since 1979 and they are the original reseller of professional, collectible, and everyday camera gear.They have over 60,000 items in stock at any given time.  Much of which is sold at up to 40% below retail, and they offer the KEH Gear Assurance Guarantee which is a 180-day warranty on most equipment.I reached out to Phil because I knew he would give me the straight scoop on today's used camera market and also provide us with some great tips for buying and selling used gear.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LinksWebsite URLhttps://www.keh.com/Instagram URLhttps://www.instagram.com/kehcamera/YouTube URLhttps://www.youtube.com/user/KEHcameraFacebook URLhttps://www.facebook.com/KEHcamera- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TOGCHAT ResourcesShow Website: https://togchat.comEpisode Web Page:  https://www.joeedelman.com/keh-cameraMy Website & Portfolio:  https://www.JoeEdelman.comDon't forget to check out THE LAST FRAME LIVEWednesday evenings at 6:00PM ET US on YouTube!Visit:  http://lastframe.live for past episodes.Calendar of upcoming Live-Online Presentations & Speaking Events:https://www.joeedelman.com/edu/I would love to be your PHOTOGRAPHY MENTOR! https://www.joeedelman.com/mentoring-for-photographers/- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -FTC Disclosure: No sponsors have paid for inclusion in this video.  I am an Olympus Visionary photographer, a Delkin Image Maker, a TetherTools Pro and a StellaPro Champion of Light.  These companies do provide me with various pieces of gear that I frequently discuss or mention, however all words and opinions are my own, and I was not asked to produce this podcast.Support the show (https://paypal.me/joeedelman)

Als nächsten Gast in der Plauderecke durfte ich den Inhaber der FF-Fotoschule, Fototrainer, und Content-Creator Frank Fischer himself begrüßen. Besonders spannend: Der Ort, an dem sich Frank während der Aufnahme dieser Folge befand. Seitdem ich im Jahre 2018 mit der Fotografie angefangen habe, habe ich sowohl Franks Podcast „Fotophonie" (den er zusammen mit Diether Bethke moderiert) als auch seinen YouTube-Kanal regelmäßig verfolgt und unheimlich viel von ihm gelernt. Auf einer einwöchigen Toskana-Fotoreise im Oktober 2020 habe ich Frank dann endlich auch einmal persönlich kennen gelernt, und nach dieser Reise sind Frank und ich auch weiterhin in Kontakt, dank Covid natürlich leider nur virtuell, geblieben. Nachdem ich am 30.04.2021 bei der Reihe „Kurz und Bündig - Frank stellt vor“ auf seinem YouTubeKanal zu Gast sein durfte freue ich mich unheimlich, ihn nun bei meinem Podcast begrüßen zu dürfen. Während dieser Aufnahme am 10.04.2021 hat sich Frank nicht in seinem Studio in Seevetal befunden, sondern war in einwöchiger Quarantäne auf Island. Wie es dazu kam - lass' Dich überraschen! Da das Interview am Ende mit 1 Stunde und 45 Minuten extrem lange geworden ist habe ich mich dazu entschieden, sie in 2 Teilen in 2 aufeinander folgenden Wochen zu veröffentlichen. Du bist hier im 2. Teil gelandet. In diesem Teil hat Frank aus dem Nähkästchen eines Olympus-Visionary geplaudert. Außerdem haben wir uns über das unheimlich schwer auszusprechende Wort „Authentizität“ und über die vielen tollen Aspekte einer Fotoreise unterhalten, auch wenn man zwischendrin mal am Steuer eines Bus sitzen muss. Viel Spaß beim Interview mit Frank Fischer. Website der FF-Fotoschule (inkl. Möglichkeit der Buchung von z.B.

This week, I had an amazing discussion with Vancouver based Erich Saide.Erich Saide is a Commercial, Fitness & Lifestyle, Celebrity and Portrait photographer specializing in producing exceptional, creative and technical images born out of his love of connecting with people. Forming a relationship with his subjects as soon as possible is paramount to his success, being able to draw out the best in people sets his photography apart from the rest.Photography started as a love for experimenting with light and once he learned a thing or two through his studies, he became a master at manipulating light to compliment the wide variety of projects he has collaborated on over his 20 year career. Some of his favourite clients include Advertising Agencies, Celebrities, PR Agencies and TV & Movie Productions. Winner of the Communication Arts 58th Photography Annual Competition. If he isn't out shooting in Gastown, the area around his beautiful work/live studio loft in Vancouver, you might find him walking his dog Bella or taking advantage of the diverse city / mountainscapes that Vancouver has to offer.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LinksWebsite URLhttps://www.erichsaide.comInstagram URLhttps://www.instagram.com/erichsaide Twitter URLhttps://www.twitter.com/erichsaideFounder: Humans Of Support initiativehttps://www.facebook.com/humansofsupport/https://www.instagram.com/humansofsupport/https://www.humansofsupport.org #HumansOfSupport - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TOGCHAT ResourcesShow Website: https://togchat.comEpisode Web Page:  https://www.joeedelman.com/erich-saideMy Website & Portfolio:  https://www.JoeEdelman.comDon't forget to check out THE LAST FRAME LIVEWednesday evenings at 6:00PM ET US on YouTube!Each week, the Last Frame focuses on a different topic with no scripts, no razzle dazzle, no canned presentations.

This week, I had an awesome opportunity to chat with the Queen of Personal Branding Photographers - Flor Blake.Flor Blake is a portrait, editorial, and commercial photographer with a style consisting of imaginative, vibrant, and dynamic imagery.She grew up in the Caribbean (the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico) where you are automatically surrounded by color, rawness, vivacity and "flavor", all of these elements greatly influence her work.  With a Fashion Designer as a mom, Flor grew up among fabrics, patterns, and sketches, she even stitched her fingers a couple of times when playing in her mom's workroom.  All of this helped shape her aesthetic and gave her a great understanding of how design and the creative process in general works.Her professional background includes all aspects of theater, documentary coordination, video production and editing, and a degree in Advertising from the University of Puerto Rico. She loves traveling (even if it's across the street), eating delicious food, and celebrating people's birthdays. Flor is based in Denver, Colorado where she lives with her wife Ileanexis and their three plants.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LinksWebsite URLhttps://www.florblakephoto.comInstagram URLhttps://www.instagram.com/flor_blake/Facebook URLhttps://www.facebook.com/FlorBlakePhotographyLinkedIn URLhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/florblake/- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TOGCHAT ResourcesShow Website: https://togchat.comEpisode Web Page:  https://www.joeedelman.com/flor-blakeMy Website & Portfolio:  https://www.JoeEdelman.comDon't forget to check out THE LAST FRAME LIVEWednesday evenings at 6:00PM ET US on YouTube!Each week, the Last Frame focuses on a different topic with no scripts, no razzle dazzle, no canned presentations.

This week, I had an awesome opportunity to chat with a man who is a self-described light painter. Jason Page resides in Southern Florida, and he not only practices this incredible art form, but he has invented a series of tools called light painting brushes, that along with the help of some simple flashlights, allow a light painter to paint in similar ways to an artist with a brush and a canvas. Jason is widely recognized as a leader in the current light painting movement. Jason has pioneered numerous light painting techniques and with his innovation he's created groundbreaking images.Jason's light painting work has been published internationally in print, as well as online he's exhibited his work in numerous shows and galleries, including locations like Palm Beach, Miami Amsterdam, and Moscow. To quote Jason; "Light painting is its own art form. Just as drawing is an art form or painting is an art form, calling light painting a photographic technique would be the same thing as calling, painting a canvas technique." - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LinksJason Page Website:  https://www.jasondpage.com/Light Painting Photography Blog:  https://www.lightpaintingphotography.com/Light Painting Brushes:  https://www.lightpaintingbrushes.com/Jason on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/lightpaintingbrushes/Jason's YouTube Channel:   https://www.youtube.com/user/lightpaintingphoto- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TOGCHAT ResourcesShow Website: https://togchat.comEpisode Web Page:  https://www.joeedelman.com/personal-branding/My Website & Portfolio:  https://www.JoeEdelman.comDon't forget to check out THE LAST FRAME LIVEWednesday evenings at 6:00PM ET US on YouTube!Each week, the Last Frame focuses on a different topic with no scripts, no razzle dazzle, no canned presentations.

Lack of preparation is one of the biggest obstacles to improving your photography, regardless of the genre that you shoot. So this week, I want to share some thoughts with you about shoot prep. Just like most photography skills, preparation is a skill that can be learned and with some discipline and experience this is an ability that can be improved over time, by almost anyone.  So in this episode my goal is to help you not only understand the importance of proper prep for a shoot but to also walk you through the details that will make your shoots go smoother and help you achieve better results.  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LinksVideo: DIY Portable Background Stand & Portrait Photography Background Material for studio or location - https://youtu.be/9VsP4T9AFp4Video: You need a Makeup Artist for Great Portraits, Headshots and Model Shots - https://youtu.be/0_jBCvMJh9kVideo - What To Know About Working With A Makeup Artist for great Portraits and Modeling shots - https://youtu.be/O9Wa504512EApp - The Photographer's Ephemeris - https://photoephemeris.com/enApp - PhotoPills - https://www.photopills.com/App - SunSurveyor - https://www.sunsurveyor.com/- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TOGCHAT ResourcesShow Website: https://togchat.comEpisode Web Page:  https://www.joeedelman.com/personal-branding/My Website & Portfolio:  https://www.JoeEdelman.comDon't forget to check out THE LAST FRAME LIVEWednesday evenings at 6:00PM ET US on YouTube!Each week, the Last Frame focuses on a different topic with no scripts, no razzle dazzle, no canned presentations.

Personal Branding — Social Media — 4 words that make up two of the most misunderstood terms in the photography world.You might think that's because they have nothing to do with actually taking pictures.  But I would argue that they have everything to do with taking pictures — regardless of the genre that you shoot.Make yourself comfortable and open up your mind to some new ideas that I sincerely believe can help you improve your photography and if it is one of your goals - your business as well.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LinksZig Ziglar - See You at the Tophttps://amzn.to/2QXkpKm ** Affiliate Link- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TOGCHAT ResourcesShow Website: https://togchat.comEpisode Web Page:  https://www.joeedelman.com/personal-branding/My Website & Portfolio:  https://www.JoeEdelman.comDon't forget to check out THE LAST FRAME LIVEWednesday evenings at 6:00PM ET US on YouTube!Each week, the Last Frame focuses on a different topic with no scripts, no razzle dazzle, no canned presentations.

My TOGCHAT guests this week are Hasselblad Ambassadors Anna Devís and Daniel Rueda.  Based in Valencia, Spain, Anna and Daniel are both trained architects who have combined their love for geometry, perspective, and storytelling to become the ultimate creative couple. This creative duo uses their architectural backgrounds to tell stories through fun and surprising images that are far from conventional architecture photography. Their style is characterized by their visual sense of humor, creativity, precision, and a delicate aesthetic inspired by the city, geometry, and minimalism.  Their images succeed in establishing magnetic and joyful narratives that smartly suggest both the nature of human relations and the fascination with the urban environment.       Website:  https://annandaniel.com  Anna on IG:  https://instagram.com/annisetDaniel on IG:  https://instagram.com/drcuerda    Facebook:  https://facebook.com/anniset.drcuerda- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Photo Quote:"Sometimes the simplest pictures are the hardest to get." - Neil Leiferhttps://neilleifer.com/- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Up and Coming:This week's Up and Coming photographer is Aijani Paynehttps://www.aijani-payne.comhttps://www.instagram.com/aijanipayne/- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Episode Links:DIY Backgrounds: https://video.joeedelman.com/diybackground- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TOGCHAT ResourcesShow Website: https://tog.chatMy Website: https://www.JoeEdelman.comJoin the TOGCHAT Photography Group on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/ispphotographersMy calendar of upcoming Live-Online Photography Presentations https://www.joeedelman.com/edu/I would love to be your PHOTOGRAPHY MENTOR! https://www.joeedelman.com/mentoring-for-photographers/- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -FTC Disclosure: No sponsors have paid for inclusion in this video.  I am an Olympus Visionary photographer, a Delkin Image Maker, a TetherTools Pro and a StellaPro Champion of Light.  These companies do provide me with various pieces of gear that I frequently discuss or mention,  however all words and opinions are my own, and I was not asked to produce this video.Support the show (https://paypal.me/joeedelman)

Photography critiques are traditionally nothing more than opinions offered by people who may be good at photography but who have little knowledge or concern for you or the reasons you took the photograph or how you took it.  Critiques offer an opinion of what is wrong with your photograph based on their test and a bunch of creativity killer rules.In this episode, I am going to share the science behind why photo critiques don't work and I will teach you how to effectively ask for feedback on your work and how to properly give feedback that is useful and has a positive impact on the photographer. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Photo Quote:“Photography was a license to go whenever I wanted and to do what I wanted to do.”— Diane Arbushttps://www.wikiart.org/en/diana-arbus- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Talent under 30:Please check out Alex Schon a 25-year-old wedding photographer based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.https://alexschon.com/https://www.instagram.com/alexschon/- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Episode Links:DIY Backgrounds: https://video.joeedelman.com/diybackground Makeup Artist Directory listing makeup artists from all over the United States Videos:You need a Makeup Artist for Great Portraits, Headshots and Model ShotsWhat To Know About Working With A Makeup Artist for great Portraits and Modeling shots- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TOGCHAT ResourcesShow Website: https://tog.chatMy Website: https://www.JoeEdelman.comJoin the TOGCHAT Photography Group on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/ispphotographersMy calendar of upcoming Live-Online Photography Presentations https://www.joeedelman.com/edu/I would love to be your PHOTOGRAPHY MENTOR! https://www.joeedelman.com/mentoring-for-photographers/- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -FTC Disclosure: No sponsors have paid for inclusion in this video.  I am an Olympus Visionary photographer, a Delkin Image Maker, a TetherTools Pro and a StellaPro Champion of Light.  These companies do provide me with various pieces of gear that I frequently discuss or mention,  however all words and opinions are my own, and I was not asked to produce this video.Support the show (https://paypal.me/joeedelman)

Join me for a great chat with Fashion and Lifestyle Photographer and fellow YouTuber — Irene Rudnyk! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ira559 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/irenerudnyk... 500px: https://500px.com/p/irenerudnyk Facebook https://www.facebook.com/IreneRudnykP... About Irene in her own words: My name is Irene Rudnyk, and I am a self-taught fashion and lifestyle photographer located in Calgary. I like to describe my style as romantic and artistic, I love to play around with light, softness, colors and textures. I definitely enjoy photographing people the most. I strive to make my models stand out in an image, making sure the background never overpowers the focal point of the picture. Since I was a little girl I was drawn to photography and videography. My sister and I used to pretend that she was a model, and I was a photographer, we would dress up, do our make-up, and plan the poses and locations for photo shoots. When I was quite young and could afford it, I bought my first professional camera and instantly knew that photography was my passion. I started my journey as a fashion photographer, working mostly with agencies in Calgary, like Numa Models, Mode models and Imodels. I have experimented with different styles and techniques and now as a developed photographer, I provide professional services like wedding photography, engagement, family, maternity, boudoir, model portfolio, and event coverage. I’ve also spent several years modeling, which has given me the valuable knowledge to both sides of the camera. If desired, I will be glad to help with posing ideas and angles to give you the best looking, unique images. I am very friendly and sociable, I try to make my clients feel comfortable and have a lot of fun at the shoot. I am truly fortunate to do what I do. I get to be part of a person’s special day or celebration, get to know their family and most of all, capture those precious moments for them! That’s what it’s all about to me, capturing the emotion, character, and surreal beauty in people that will last a lifetime. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Links for tonights show: CullAI Software https://apps.apple.com/in/app/cullai/...

As 2020 draws to a close, I want to share with you some of my favorite GEAR and GADGET finds from the past year. Photographers often hear the quote, “it's not the camera that makes the picture, it is the photographer”.  They usually hear it from a person who has tens of thousands of dollars worth of camera gear. I like to take a slightly more practical approach and that is simply that all the gear in the world won't make you a great photographer, but the right gear can make your task much easier and help elevate the quality of your work.  How's that for politically correct?  But it's true.  At the end of the day if you don't build a solid foundation of photography knowledge — you know that physics stuff, and if you don't make a real effort to be creative — well then all that gear will not really matter. Let's keep it real — we all like our toys and for me, when I find a toy that makes my job easier or helps me simplify something — that is a big win in my books. I have links to all of these in the show notes.  Full disclosure — a few of the links are affiliate links, so I will make a few pennies if you use the links, but I assure you — I am not being paid to show any of this gear and these are pieces that I actively use in my daily work. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Links for Episode #228 of the TOGCHAT Photography Podcast  Olympus Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/getolympus I hope to see you at 1:00PM ET on 12/3 for my exclusive livestream.

In dieser „intimen“ Folge beantworten wir viele der Fragen, die uns immer wieder rund um unsere fotografische Profi-Laufbahn gestellt werden: Wie seid Ihr überhaupt zur Fotografie gekommen und was war der Auslöser, Euer Hobby zum Beruf zu machen (08:20)? Wie reich seid Ihr damit geworden und womit verdient Ihr eigentlich Euer Geld (41:40)? Wie wird man eigentlich zum Olympus Visionary und wie wichtig war und ist das für Eure Karriere (1:03:18)? Fotografiert Ihr auch noch in Eurer Freizeit (1:18:40)? Hat sich die Art Eurer Fotografie als Profi verändert (1:24:25)? Welchen Anteil hat das aktive Fotografieren an Eurem Job bzw. wie schaut Euer fotografischer Alltag aus (1:29:35)? Gibt es etwas, was Ihr dabei überhaupt nicht mögt (1:27:50)? Und natürlich die Frage aller Fragen: Was ratet Ihr denjenigen, die sich auch mit der Idee tragen ihre Leidenschaft für die Fotografie zum Beruf zu machen (1:32:00)?

Our listeners are in for awakening with this week's special guest, the legendary Olympus Visionary Joe Edelman. We continue this month's theme of productivity and focus for 2020 and Joe NEVER disappoints with his candor, information and the ability to push anyone out of their comfort zone. Truly an inspirational educator with a sharp tongue backed up with experience and practicality.The twins get schooled on "simplify your process to be productive", Joe's new mantra for the upcoming yearly focus. So examine your processes and see if you are spending too much time planning and not enough energy doing. Joe created a mission statement to use as a guide, ensuring his energy is focus on those things that matter personally. There are no short-cuts in photography and you MUST do the work to get better at the craft. He also mentioned doing less on social media gained him more followers and the best interaction with people. Isn't that what we really want - to connect with other humans? Trust me, Joe connects!Our favorite insight is "Break Shit and Move On" philosophy Joe practices and advocates to photographers. Of course, he is widely known for the "Don't Be Afraid to Suck" method to learn and progress in your craft. Dare we say even in life?Did you know that Evernote had templates? We didn't but we are looking into those right away for upcoming projects. If you think Joe should share his Evernote tips and tricks, comment on this episode's discussion post on FotoFacts Podcast Facebook Page and tag Joe.

Summary A road trip is awesome, but when I can combine work into the mix as well, that’s just awesome.

We spent 3.5 weeks on the road and drove over 5,500 miles, my wife drove about 15 of those. It’s all good, I do like to drive. Basic Itinerary: Boise, ID; Salt Lake City, UT; Denver, CO; Lincoln, NE; Hannibal, MO; Chicagoland, IL; Council Bluffs, IA; Kimball, NE; Salt Lake City, UT; Boise, ID; HOME! Boise area: my folks live in the area so we spent a few days there. This is also where I had one of my print workshops for the Boise Camera club. More on that in a bit. Utah: We then drove to the Salt Lake City area and just spent a night there. We wanted to have a place to spend the evening on the way to Denver so we drove to Layton, stayed the night, swam in the hotel pool and moved on the following day. The drive to Denver was about 8 hours so we started early and just pushed forward. I was rather busy in Denver. This was a family vacation after all, but, I worked with photo clubs in the Boise area and Denver to host a print workshop. I brought my printer to both locations and club members supplemented with their own printers too which was great. I’d hoped to get even more printing done, but with 18 attendees at the Boise workshop and 12 at the Denver workshop printing was slightly crowded. It was an absolute blast though. Being able to share and teach one of the great things I love about photography is just so cool. And I should probably put a call out there, if you have a photo club and you’re interested in either a lecture at your club meeting or a workshop for your members please reach out. I’d love to make this happen again and again. In Boise the extra printers were the Pixma Pro 100, and I have the 10. They’re virtually the same printer, but the 10 uses pigment ink and the 100 uses Dye ink. So I went through the lecture and discussion part where we talked all about color spaces, proper file setup and challenges we face when we try to get “perfect” color out of our prints. Then we had a short break for lunch and then we spent the rest of the time answering questions and trying to keep things moving forward. Things were a bit more manageable in Denver since we had six less people but it was still busy. Additionally, in Denver, one printer we had was using a different inkset. It was very interesting to me to see the results of that inkset. I’ve had a lot of inquiries about third-party inks and I usually have to say that long ago I tried it, it failed and I never looked back. But third-party providers have gotten a lot better but I have not had any recent experience with any of them until now. First off, I noticed a phenomena called metamerism that was very evident to me when I looked at the print. It’s something that you notice on pigment inks if the print is held in the light a certain way because the color is a particle and not part of the ink liquid itself . In the Canon inks it’s hardly noticeable at all unless you use the photo black ink on matte paper. But this was visible for all papers. And, we had a fella that experienced a few challenges with the processing of the images and then when it came to print it looked nothing like what was on screen. I was like, “hmmm, OH, you’re using a printer that doesn’t have Canon inks, but you’re using the profile that is made for Canon inks.” He moved to my printer and it came out looking perfect. That was cool, to see how far off things were, and to see the smile on that fella’s face once it looked like he expected it to. But not all was daisies and roses. In both workshops I also brought my calibration device to calibrate screens. We didn’t get to calibrate all screens, but we got several of them done. There were some folks though who had rather old notebook computers. Usually, the Mac screens are quite good, and PC screens can be awesome, or cheap, just depends on your computer model. These were PC models that were at least six years old. And the color was so washed out, It was crazy how washed out it was. We did the process anyway, but they were too far gone. There’s just some things that can’t be fixed I guess. They understood, and they still learned the theory but it’s difficult when you want to see the good results happen and you’re just hampered by the equipment. I also had some folks who, even after calibration the color was just not coming out right. We got it improved but there was still more to do. In that short amount of time I was unable to get it working perfectly for them, but at least we did have improvement and we had an opportunity to learn what’s going on and how the process is done so they can take things further on their own. I made a print process guide for these workshops and you too can download it from my website. Head on over to https://brentbergherm.com/info/resources/and look for the download called “printing workflow.” I also had a commercial shoot in Denver. A private aircraft charter company needs a new website and a few weeks before our trip we finally inked a deal that would have me redevelop their website and do some new photos of the aircraft. We originally were going to have me do new headshots but when we looked at the scheduling it just wasn’t going to work out. So I spent Friday morning from about 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. out on the tarmac having the lineman move these multi-million dollar aircraft around so I could get the “perfect” composition. Many of them were terrible, but the lighting was great and I was able to get the mountains in the background. I was even able to get into a bucket truck about 30 ft off the ground and shoot with my 70-300 for a compressed shot of three jets together. I then did interiors as well. It was a blast and such a cool way to spend the morning. I then spent the rest of the day with the family. This brings me to a few points listeners have often been interested in and have asked me about. That is, spending time shooting while on a vacation and how do people make money at this stuff. Well, the making money part is something I continue to try and work on. I have a full-time job. Sometimes I wish I didn’t like my job so I could be more motivated to do more photography, but it’s a good mix. Anyway, I rarely do a commercial shoot like this though. And when I was bidding I didn’t really look up any other photographers and see what their rates are. I just established a rate that I knew would get shot down if I were bidding a job here in Walla Walla, or that I felt would get shot down, and went with it. I also had the website job secured, so the photography was in addition to that work that I was able to sell since I was going to be in the area anyway. Plus, I wanted to see the company and its operations so I could build a better website. But, back to money. All my travel and stuff I do is 100% funded by my photography efforts. I don’t dip into the family budget, which is my income from the school, at all for my stuff like this. When I don’t make a sale I don’t get to do things. I’ve also gone the traditional route of offering educational opportunities whether it’s my online course in printing or in-person workshops. Like any businessman, I’d like to sell more, but I’ve certainly found that if I focus on selling things tend to go dry for a bit. But I’m also still learning my niche in the photography education space. I’d love to create an online community with tons of lessons, challenges, assignments and the like. A place where feedback would be readily available but it wouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg so to speak. I’ve got two more online courses planned, one geared towards beginners and one slightly more advanced. I also have a book outline already made. I just need to do it. One thing I know that works for me is your feedback. If these are things you want let me know. I’ll hopefully be able to make it happen sooner rather than later. Anyway, that was a bit of a derailment, let’s get back on track. I was talking about making money and then family time and shooting time while on vacation. With this trip the family knew that it was not possible without my ability to work and do these two workshops. In fact, I had a bit of a “stepping out in faith” type of experience. As we’re looking at the budget for the trip the funding just wasn’t matching. We left town knowing that I’d have four people at the Denver workshop. That was the minimum I agreed to host the workshop for. I was working with club officials and then I received an email that I didn’t read right away. I read it the Friday before the workshop which was on Sunday. And I had 12 people attending! I was quite relieved actually. We were counting on this revenue and it ended up being there. We could continue the trip without fretting about the budget anymore. It was such a blessing. Back to the point though, that is, shooting while on vacation. I’ll often head out early and shoot, but this trip was a bit different. Since I had such a huge amount of work I decided that for the remainder of the trip I would shoot very little. This is where I was really wishing the Fuji camera had worked out for me because I could have easily taken it and one lens out with me when we were in Chicago and a few other places. But alas, it was nearly 100% family time until we got to Kimball, NE. And it was great. Re-solidifying the family connections was needed and was wonderful. After Denver we drove to Lincoln, NE, for the night. It was a long drive and we were just firing through. We didn’t do anything interesting, just slept and moved on. We chose Lincoln over Salina, KS, because the hotel was something like $100 cheaper. It did add a total of about 30 minutes to our drive time as we were heading to Hannibal, MO. In Hannibal we saw a lot of the Mark Twain interests, and we also went to a homesteaders conference with YouTubers Offgrid with Doug and Stacy. My wife follows them and it’s our goal to get a piece of property and start a small farm. After six nights there we moved on to the Chicago Suburbs. My wife’s best friend lives there and teaches at College of DuPage. I took the older boys into the city by riding the train. They really liked that part. We saw a few items downtown and then largely took it easy the rest of the time there. We were visiting friends after all. I grew up in the area but as we only had three nights there I was unable to visit any of my child-hood locations. Oh well, maybe next time. Then we started the trek home, staying one night in Council Bluffs, IA, and then two nights in Kimball, NE. I chose Kimball because just north of there is Scottsbluff, NE. I wanted to visit that and “do it right” this time as I was there four years ago but we arrived about 20 minutes before they closed. Scottsbluff did not interest my wife at all even though it’s part of the Oregon Trail and the Pony Express line. We have an Oregon Trail national historic site about five miles from where we live so I liked the connection. But the biggest problem was that the visitor center was closed and they had a temporary one that we actually ended up not visiting. I did, however, get to walk down the trail from the top. That was really cool. I totally enjoyed the relatively few moments there. I did get up for one sunrise but the light didn’t really do anything exciting. We then had another night in Salt Lake City area on the way home, another night in the Boise area at my parent’s place and then on home. It was certainly good to be home. Really quickly I want to talk about my recent rental acquisition. I rented the Olympus E-M1 mk2 camera and the 7-14mm lens. I almost rented a prime but figured the flexibility would be good here. What I’m really impressed with is the quality of packaging that LensRentals.com has nowadays. It came in a standard box, but inside was a hard plastic case, it’s like a Pelican case but some other brand. Then inside that was a LowePro case that held the camera and lens, and the lens was in a separate lens case all by itself with additional foam around the lens itself. So it was very well packaged for sure! And the tape on the outer box was delightful, it said “release the happy, open here” on the top and “yeah, not the happy side” on the bottom. Then they also include two strips of tape so I don’t even need tape to ship the box back. That’s amazing. But there’s a crazy “story” of sorts on the tape itself. It talks about using the tape and they kinda write it as if Mark Twain were writing. In describing the removal of the tape from the backing they say “Once you have successfully achieved this disengagement, you can proceed with the taping of your package.” Then they advise not to stick the extra piece of tape to a cat, no matter what the internet tells you as to how funny it will be. And then they end with a Back to the Future movie reference. All in all, they have certainly done their homework in making the rental experience enjoyable. I’ll talk about the camera in a future episode for sure. I’ll be taking it to the Oregon Coast on my workshop next week. So let’s now talk about the near future and what’s happening. By the time you hear this I’m preparing to head out to Oregon for my Oregon Coast shoot-n-print workshop. I have six days planned shooting the wonderful Oregon coast and two of those days we’ll be in the hotel conference room going through the printing process. There’s still a few spots if anyone wants to jump in last minute. That’s totally fine. Take a look at the website for details. https://brentbergherm.com/workshops/oregon-coast-2019/ Also, this show is about a week late. I’ve been doing weekly shows pretty much all summer. So for the next few shows I just wanted to share what I have cooking. My latest YouTube Videos Ordering and File Prep for Online Labs, mPix https://youtu.be/7R3ye0gDzAg Exposure Averaging with windblown foreground elements https://youtu.be/zcEV6hqe16M Segmentation at Scotts Bluff https://youtu.be/DhlHh4O0LxI Print Review, mPix https://youtu.be/Qjzs_TfNCyI I plan on talking about the Exposure Averaging in the next episode as well as the Segmentation item. But if you want to get a sneak peek you can watch those videos. The print review videos are part of my larger research I’m doing into online labs. I have five more to go and then I’ll have a big episode all about my findings and the experience of printing with online labs. One that I just published today is all about color expectations and surprises we run into when printing. I do have some interviews getting lined up. I have an Olympus Visionary scheduled for some time in October, a former Bay Photo night shift lab manager to talk about preparing files for online print labs, and I have a new book that was recommended by a listener, “Zen Camera, Creative awakening with a daily practice in photography.” It’s by David Ulrich. If you’ve read it let me know. I may do a book review on this one. School is starting up soon, September 23 is the first day of instruction and with two course rewrites and our need to recover from and replace a colleague that left us this summer for a job in the industry,,,  well, thing will be very busy for me over the next month. Things also look promising for me to head off to India this December. The aforementioned website redevelopment job will fund my time there. And I’ve got a mountain of airmiles so hopefully things will work out there. I usually have used my academic breaks to create things like my online course and such, but this time I’ll hopefully be traveling. If it doesn’t work out then I’ll still go somewhere I’m sure.

More Gear Show #8 | PPN | November 23rd, 2017   The More Gear Show topic this month is: Thoughts on fast m4/3 lenses, the “holy trinity” - 3 Olympus f1.2 PRO lenses.   Follow @Photopodcasts on Twitter Email: scott@scottbourne.com with questions or use the form on our website You’ll find a visual presentation of these show notes here: https://spark.adobe.com/page/hYCV2mCdSM9Lm/   If you hear the phrase “holy trinity” applied to photography, it means a selection of prime lenses with a wide, a standard, and a medium telephoto focal length. Depending on the type of photography you do, you may never need any other lens. Olympus has just announced two new lenses that join the already shipping Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 25mm f/1.2 PRO Lens to form their new trinity. All of these lenses are fast, f/1.2 lenses. They all come with a manual focus clutch. All three render your images with an almost 3D quality. They all are the beneficiaries of the Olympus Z-Nano coating so flare is well-controlled. All three are MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) All of them have the same size front filter thread at 62mm. All offer what Olympus calls “Feathered Bokeh.” All three are splash proof, dust proof, freeze proof. All offer very fast autofocus. The trio comes with a programmable lens function button and a lens hood is included in the box. (The lens hoods are interchangeable amongst the three lenses.) And one last critical point - unlike DSLR lenses at f/1.2, anyone can focus these new primes - even wide open. Let’s take a quick look at each of these lenses:   Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm f/1.2 PRO Lens The wide angle-of-view coupled with shallow depth-of-field make this the ideal lens for environmental portraits, landscapes, street, documentary or astrophotography. It replaces a 35mm lens (equivalent) on a DSLR system and is a focal length that is always valued. It won’t be shipping until January, but I was afforded a chance to see and hold and touch and play around with a pre-production model and all I can say is WOW! It’s much smaller than I expected it to be. How in the world the engineers at Olympus figured out the technology to make a super fast lens this small and light is a mind-blower. It has all the features you’d expect from a pro lens (including all those listed above.) One of my favorite features is that you can close focus to 3.75 inches! That is insane - you get a .3X magnification (35mm equivalent) which in some cases will be all the macro you need. The 17mm features a newly engineered ED-DSA lens, which Olympus says “possesses the characteristics of both an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens element and a DSA (Dual Super Aspherical) lens element” and is designed to mitigate chromatic aberrations and distortions. Key specs for the 17mm lens... Micro Four Thirds System 34mm (35mm Equivalent) Aperture Range: f/1.2 to f/16 Four ED Elements, One ED-DSA Element Super HR, EDA, and Aspherical Elements Z Coating Nano MSC High-Speed Imager AF System Internal Focusing, MF Clutch Weather-Resistant Construction Rounded Nine-Blade Diaphragm   Next up - the other new, fast, prime from Olympus: Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 45mm f/1.2 PRO Lens The new 45mm lens (90mm focal length in 35mm equivalent). is perfect for portraits. While Olympus has a 45mm f1/8 lens, it is not weather proof and can't compete with the super wide aperture of the new 45mm f/1.2. As was the case with the 17mm lens, I was afforded a chance to see and hold and touch and play around with a pre-production model. This lens is so good that it makes me want to get back into the portrait business. I guarantee that any portrait artist using this lens to its full potential will have a serious, competitive business advantage. Like the 17mm lens, this one feels good in the hand and is much lighter and smaller than I expected it to be. It too has a great close-focusing distance and it will ship near the end of November for about $1200. Key specs for the 45mm lens… Micro Four Thirds System 90mm (35mm Equivalent) Aperture Range: f/1.2 to f/16 One ED Element, One Aspherical Element Four High Refractive Index Elements Z Coating Nano MSC High-Speed Imager AF System Internal Focusing, MF Clutch Weather-Resistant Construction Rounded Nine-Blade Diaphragm   Lastly, the third lens in the trinity, the already shipping Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 25mm f/1.2 PRO Lens I own the 25 f/1.2 and it is so good that I look for reasons to use it. Let me mention the thing about this lens that impresses me most (other than the fast aperture.) This lens is SHARP. It is very sharp right out of the gate at f/1.2 and offers tack-sharp edge-to-edge sharpness by f/1.2. You can stop down further if you want, but it doesn't garner substantially more image sharpness. Olympus knows that people who will buy a f/1.2 lens want to shoot at f/1.2. It's not big or heavy compared to similar lenses on a DSLR, but some M43 shooters will notice it's 14.5 oz. For me, it is a natural fit on my OM-D E-M1 Mark II. The 25mm f/1.2 from Olympus is a joy to use. If the 17mm and 45mm are as good, then Olympus has a powerhouse trio that even Panasonic shooters might be tempted to buy. Key specs for the 25mm lens… Micro Four Thirds System 50mm (35mm Equivalent) Aperture Range: f/1.2 to f/16 Three Extra-Low Dispersion Elements One Aspherical Element, Four HR Elements Z Coating Nano MSC High-Speed Imager AF System Internal Focusing, MF Clutch Weather-Resistant Construction Rounded Nine-Blade Diaphragm   CONCLUSION The holy trinity of lenses for any particular brand is often the most popular set of lenses for those starting out in photography. Experienced photographers often encourage new photographers to seek out focal lengths resembling what the holy trinity offers. If you’re obsessed with DOF, you want to get the best bokeh. Many companies make super fast lenses, but most photographers who use these lenses either have trouble focusing them or they have to stop down at least one stop (maybe two) to get the lens’ best performance. That is not the case with the new holy trinity - Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 17mm F1.2 PRO Lens - the new Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 45mm f/1.2 PRO Lens and the already shipping Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 25mm f/1.2 PRO Lens. They all offer great image quality - even wide open. They offer fantastic and beautiful bokeh but still capture all the fine foreground details you want. If I wasn't a bird photographer, I'd be tempted to buy these three lenses and call it good. For many of you, they would help you achieve almost any photographic goal and help you do it in style. Highly recommended. DISCLAIMER: Crop factor and the associated focal length multiplier only affects field of view (FOV). I prefer to reference this as effective focal length (EFL) but others use FOV. Feel free to use whichever term you like. Also please note that I am an Olympus Visionary. My opinions are my own, but in case you might think I have been influenced by my affiliation with Olympus, I wanted to disclose it.   Please support our show by using our B&H affiliate link (click here) that will not cost you a penny more than when you are buying at B&H without our link.
