In this episode of the Nerdy Photographer Podcast, we're taking to the skies—literally. I sat down with award-winning photographer and author Chase Guttman, whose groundbreaking book on drone photography helped launch an entire generation of aerial image-makers. As one of the earliest voices in the drone photography space, Chase brings insight, experience, and a healthy dose of sky-high inspiration. We talk about what it means to compose an image when your camera is 400 feet off the ground, how to think three-dimensionally when navigating space and light, and the gear that every aspiring drone photographer should consider. Whether you're just getting started or looking to take your drone work to the next level (pun definitely intended), this conversation is packed with valuable tips and tools. Chase also shares his thoughts on the creative freedom drones offer photographers, the importance of storytelling from above, and how to stay legally safe and respectful while flying. Spoiler: it's not just about dodging birds and watching your battery life—although those are important too. So if you've ever looked up at the sky and wondered what your photography might look like from that vantage point, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn from one of the pioneers of drone imagery and find out how you can bring new perspective—literally and creatively—to your work.

If you have a friend who loves interior design, then you've likely seen a coffee table book by a certain photographer in their personal collection. On this episode, Dan meets a beloved photographer known for his keen eye and unparalleled access: Francois Halard. The pairs speak about how he got his start in the world of magazines, including his many years at various Condé Nast, the success of his eponymous first three books with Rizzoli, and his latest, “Francois Halard: Art & Flowers” that moves his art from the photographic documentation of spaces to unique works of fine art.

Okay, let's face it. Creatives have special challenges when it comes to being organized and keeping track of our stuff.The reasons can vary. There might be issues with all the things we use that “norm-ies” don't need, like a list of things needed as a photographer, including cords, lenses, batteries, cameras, chargers, props, and so on.Or the reason can be that we have many different projects going at the same time.Or that…like me…we are more interested in the next creative activity and don't notice the “wake” left behind from the last one.My amazing guest, Lee Silber, offers hope and practical tips that are contrary to traditional organizing teachings.He is the award-winning author of 26 books, including the popular Creative Person series. Lee is a master at helping right-brained creatives like us find simple, effective ways to organize and run our businesses without killing our spark.One AHA moment for me is how organizing itself can be viewed as an art form, and how leaning into our creative tendencies makes us more successful. Lee shared some wonderfully practical strategies for organization, productivity, and confidence—designed for the way our brains actually work.Here are a few of the highlights from our conversation:Create right-brain friendly organizing systems: color-coding, index cards, and piles that make sense.Why perfectionism is the illusion that keeps us stuck, and how to move forward anyway.“Action is the antidote for anxiety”—just start with one small step.A point-based to-do list that turns productivity into a game. Lee also has a brand-new book, We Got This, all about building confidence, and he's offering a free one-sheet gift called Quiet Confidence at leesilber.com/bonus-freebies.If you've ever felt like typical business advice doesn't quite fit how your brain works, this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.He has a freebie for us about developing confidence Leesilber.com/bonus-freebiesAnd would love to connect with you at lucidumascoaching.comConnect with Photography Business Coach Luci Dumas: Website Email: luci@lucidumas.comInstagram FacebookYouTubeNew episodes drop every week — make sure to subscribe so you never miss an inspiring guest or a powerful solo episode designed to help you grow your photography business.

On today's episode of The Heart & Hustle Podcast, Evie and Lindsay dive headfirst into one of the hottest debates in the photography world: DSLR vs. Mirrorless. Over the past few years, mirrorless cameras have taken the industry by storm, sparking endless chatter about whether it's time to ditch the trusty DSLR or stick with what you know. The girls break down the real differences between the two systems—everything from viewfinders, shutter mechanics, and battery life to autofocus, video capabilities, and those ugh-inducing memory card changes. They share their own personal experiences, they talk through the pros and cons they've noticed, and even sprinkle in stories from their community about switching—or not switching—to mirrorless. Whether you're a seasoned wedding photographer stressing about your gear or a creative entrepreneur just starting out and overwhelmed by the camera talk, this episode is here to remind you that your current setup is enough, your art matters more than the latest specs, and you are definitely not behind if you haven't made the switch yet. --------------------------------- Build Community Freebie: https://theheartuniversity.com/community --------------------------------- Heart Shop: https://theheartuniversity.com/shop --------------------------------- Primally Pure: https://primallypure.com/?rfsn=5649435.725fd3 Use HEARTANDHUSTLE for 10% OFF. --------------------------------- Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@theheartuniversitychannel?si=33lzxpBA9UxKlgTE --------------------------------- If you want to connect with us and other listeners in the Heart and Hustle community join our Facebook group here. --------------------------------- “PODCAST10” for 10% off anything from The Shop! www.theheartuniversity.com/shop --------------------------------- Follow along: www.instagram.com/mrslindseyroman www.instagram.com/evierupp www.instagram.com/theheartuniversity

This week the American photographer Barbara Nitke whose life has taken her from hardcore porn sets to the BDSM world and to the fashion world as her art evolves. She is as ambitious as ever expanding her many talents to currently producing her own movie American Ecstasy, which is projected to begin filming in 2026. As a vibrant septuagenarian, Barbara has widened her aperture across a career that began in the porn theaters of the 80s where she was tasked to screen more than 100 films; to the high art of the fashion industry in the reality TV show Project Runway, which she shot for 18 seasons. Barbara was born in Lynchburg, VA in 1950 the eldest of three children to Eloise “Vicky” Smiley Gregory, a meteorologist who worked for 30 years at the National Weather Service, and Paul Gervase Gregory, Jr., a WWII veteran and air traffic controller. Barbara has a younger brother, Gary Gregory, a software developer, and sister Mary Jane Gregory, a glass artist. She describes her childhood as unhappy and rebellious, constantly seeking her own independence. It was 1967 before her father disclosed an earlier marriage to the family and in 1987 she discovered that the author and sex researcher Shere Hite was her half-sister. Barbara's family moved across the country when she was a child from Virginia to Alaska, which meant she attended a variety of schools. For college Barbara made her way to New York to study business, literature and writing at Baruch College, and photography at the International Center for Photography and School of Visual Arts. In her late 20's she started photographing professionally and in1982, she says she found her subject on a porn set when she was given full access to be creative. Her first marriage to Herb Nitke lasted 13 years and gave her opportunities to develop her photographic skills in an unlikely world. Among her many credits are Hustlers, 2019, Monsterland, 2020, The Equalizer, 2021, The Gilded Age, 2023, Smile, 2024 and Project Runway - 225 episodes from 2004-2021. Barbara's work has been exhibited internationally at venues including Storage APT, New York; the Hartnett Gallery at University of Rochester; One Eyed Jacks Gallery, Brighton, England; and Barristers, New Orleans. She is included in the permanent collections of the Kinsey Institute, the Finnish Museum of Photography, the Leslie-Lohman Museum, and others. Her images have been the subject of articles in numerous venues, including Office Magazine, Forbes, Dazed, Slate, Vice, Harper's Magazine, and The New York Times. Barbara is married to Kenneth Wyban an Army Veteran and the couple divide their time between New York City and Ohio.Barbara's links: https://www.barbaranitke.com/https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0632987/https://www.instagram.com/barbaranitke/ Some of Barbara's favorite female artists:Mary Ellen MarkDiane ArbusSally MannCindy ShermanMarilyn Minter Host: Chris StaffordProduced by Hollowell StudiosFollow @theaartpodcast on InstagramAART on FacebookEmail: theaartpodcast@gmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wisp--4769409/support.

Clued Up with Maria B: The Behind-The-Scenes Photography Podcast
Send us a textIn this episode of Clued Up, we delve into the complexities of copyright in photography, emphasizing its importance for protecting your creative work. We talk about the automatic legal protection photographers receive upon capturing an image, the significance of licensing and contracts, and the steps to take if someone infringes on your copyright. Our conversation also covers international copyright considerations, common myths surrounding copyright, and the differences in ownership between employees and freelancers. Finally, we discuss how to determine pricing for usage rights, ensuring photographers are compensated fairly for their work.TakeawaysUnderstanding copyright is essential for photographers.Copyright protection begins the moment you take a photo.Clients often misunderstand ownership of images.Licensing agreements are crucial for protecting your work.You can enforce your copyright through legal means.International copyright laws vary by country.Myths about copyright can lead to financial loss.Employees do not own the copyright to their work.Pricing for usage rights should reflect the value of the work.Contracts should clearly outline usage rights and limitations.Resources U.S. Copyright Office U.S. Copyright Office: PhotographyDMCA on GoogleDMCA (equivalent) on Instagram Questions or Comments?

HT2379 - Introducing Photographers on Photography I love a good quote that makes me think about the creative process and the art life. I'm just beginning my third reading of a great book edited by Nathan Lyons published by Prentice Hall in 1966 titled, Photographers on Photography. I first read this book in the early 1970s. It makes me think so naturally I thought I might share selected quotes and my commentary on them here as a sub-list in our series Here's a Thought. Let me start with Berenice Abbott.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?—Josh Jones has done a lot of things when it comes to magazines: Editor. Writer. Maker. Custom publisher. Mentor. Evangelist. All of the above. Has Josh helped write a book about hip hop in Mongolia? Yes. Has he sat back and watched Gordon Ramsey mash his face into a sandwich? Indeed. Has he written an instructive how to book that reminds the reader to always lift a box of magazines by bending one's knees? Yes, again. For more than 20 years, Josh has been creating magazines, both for resolutely indie concerns and reasons, but also custom publications for the likes of The North Face, Red Bull, Interscope and Nike. And while he has no illusions about the challenges the industry faces, he's also resolutely optimistic about a world that he loves, so much so that his “field guide to publishing an indie magazine” Just Make Your Magazine is, true to its subhead, the “fastest selling self help book.” OK, I don't know if that's true. It probably isn't if I'm being honest. But still. You speak to him and you become an optimist. And this is not just because, as he says in the book, “indie magazine making has never been more popular.”It's also because, and perhaps caught up in the same optimism, I suggest that it's possible we are over the Print Panic of the mid aughts and the industry, as a whole, is now back on a sustained kind of upswing. That's an idea we're going to explore on the show this season. Because there has to be some things that are right in the world, damnit.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

GUARDIAN AT THE GATEFOLD—Today's guest has become almost synonymous with graphic design and editorial publishing. His career began in the defiant New York “sex press” of the late 1960s, where not-actually-that-surprisingly, as a teenager he was already art-directing magazines like Screw and The New York Review of Sex. That unlikely starting point gave him a rare education in the power of design to command attention and shape meaning.We're talking about designer, author, editor, educator, and true legend, Steven Heller.Heller went on to spend more than three decades at The New York Times, most memorably as art director of The New York Times Book Review. There, he transformed the visual life of the section, commissioning bold, original illustration and making the case—over and over again—that design is not ornamental but integral to editorial voice. Through his advocacy, he helped elevate the status of designers in publishing offices, giving visual thinkers a seat at the table alongside editors and writers.Beyond the newsroom, Heller has been prolific almost to the point of obsession. He has written, edited, or co-authored more than two hundred books on design, creating an extraordinary record of the field's history, ideas, and influences. And most recently, he turned that critical eye inward with his memoir, Growing Up Underground, a candid account of his early years in New York's counterculture publishing scene.Steve is a practitioner, a chronicler, and an advocate for design—and he's also part of the team here at Magazeum. We are thrilled to turn the mic on him for this special conversation.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025
Casey has a fan, an amateur camera bug named Alan Forrester. In the Blue Note, Casey, Ann, and Ethelbert argue over who has it worse as they live their own…
In this episode of PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf, Sasha is joined by legendary photo critic, curator, and collector Vince Aletti. Vince reflects on his early days as a music critic for Rolling Stone before joining the Village Voice as an arts editor, where he also began writing about photography. Later, as the photography critic at The New Yorker, Vince became a deeply admired voice in the field. Photographers hoped he would write about their work because his reviews were always perceptive, beautifully written, and profoundly generous of spirit. Sasha and Vince also revisit a personal milestone: Vince was the first critic to review an exhibition at Sasha's gallery, featuring photographs by the late Paul McDonough—a review that helped launch both Paul's career and Sasha's as a gallerist. In addition, they explore Vince's unparalleled collection of photo ephemera, a lifelong passion that has not only preserved vital archives of lesser-known work but has also inspired acclaimed photobooks and exhibitions. https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/vince-aletti https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_Aletti Vince Aletti is a writer and curator based in New York City. His writings on music and photography have been published widely. Between 1973 and 1978 Aletti wrote a highly prescient weekly column on the emerging disco scene for Record World magazine, and between 1987 and 2005 he was the art editor and photography critic for The Village Voice. His writings have also appeared in The New Yorker, Artforum, and Vogue Italia, among many other publications. His book Issues: A History of Photography in Fashion Magazines was published by Phaidon in 2019. The Drawer was published by Self Publish, Be Happy in September 2022 and went on to win the 2023 Aperture/Paris Photo Photobook of the Year award. An exhibition at White Columns inspired by The Drawer in 2024 was Aletti's fifth collaboration with the gallery, following on from his 2008 exhibition Male: Work from the Collection of Vince Aletti; the 2014 exhibition of Robert Kitchen's work, and the 2019 exhibition of Ed Baynard's work (both curated by Aletti); and the 2008 White Columns publication of Aletti's collected writings on disco, Disco File, which was subsequently republished in an expanded edition by DJ History/D.A.P.

I was sitting on our front porch, and I saw our son-in-law suddenly running full speed across the front yard, headed for the back yard with his camera in his hand. With my incredible detective mind, I surmised that he had seen something that would make a great photo; something that apparently wasn't going to be there for long. Actually, he had seen our horse running across the pasture with her mane flowing and beautifully illuminated by the setting sun. Well, having a wife who's taken some pretty amazing photos over the years, I understood this. I guess you'd call it the "seize the moment" thing. Photographers know about this, and you'd better not get in their way. I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "While the Window's Open." Photographer-types understand a life-principle that a lot of us miss - that there are moments, there are opportunities that have to be seized - or they're missed forever. And it isn't just photographs. It's precious life moments where a window of opportunity opens for a brief time, maybe just a moment, and either we stop and we take that opportunity or sometimes we lose it for good. Thus, God's counsel in Ephesians 5, beginning in verse 15, which is our word for today from the Word of God. He says, "Be very careful, then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise..." Okay, so what does wise living look like? "...making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore, do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is." Apparently, knowing and doing God's will in your life often depends on seeing the opportunity He has opened up for you and seizing that opportunity. Many of life's regrets are about opportunities we missed because we let them slip by. Like the aging businessman who says, "If only I'd spent more time with my family." As many times as I've heard that lament, I have never heard anybody say, "My only regret is I wish I'd spent more time with my business." Nope, never heard it. When your child is ready to talk, you'd better drop everything and listen. The window won't be open for long. When your child is ready to be affectionate, you've got nothing more important to do than respond. When your son or daughter has time to be with you, you'd better have time to be with them. The same applies to your mate, your parents, others that you love. Many a tear at a funeral is over opportunities we did not take when this one that we loved was still touchable, still thankable, still forgivable, still huggable. And how many chances do we have a day to simply compliment someone, encourage someone, stop and listen to someone. Those are God-moments - opportunities to be a channel of God's love into a person's life. Most importantly, how many times do we pass up a God-given opportunity to talk about our relationship with Jesus Christ, when the eternity of that person may depend on them hearing about our Jesus? Spirit-filled living involves making yourself available each new day to seize the opportunities that God gives you in that day. If you're the kind of person that's all rigid, programmed and inflexible, you'll probably miss or ignore the many times the Holy Spirit is saying, "This is it! This is your chance. The window's open. Do it now. Seize the moment!" Like a photographer running to capture his picture before the moment passes, we need to capture the God-moments that He is weaving into each new day. Those scenes are just too good to miss!

In this episode of Jason Lanier Unfiltered, I sit down with my good friend Scott Porter to recap our unforgettable trip to Haines, Alaska. We went there to photograph grizzly bears hunting for salmon along the Chilkoot River, and the experience delivered more than we ever imagined.From discussing the gear that got us the shots, to safety tips for navigating bear country, to the dynamics of working alongside the public and other photographers in high-stakes situations, this conversation is packed with real-world lessons for photographers and adventurers alike. The trip culminated in a heart-pounding moment when I came face to face with a Mama Grizzly searching for her cubs after a long day of fishing. It was raw, real, and unforgettable. If you've ever dreamed of photographing wildlife or want to know what it's really like to be just a few feet away from one of nature's most powerful animals, you won't want to miss this one.
