    In this episode of Beyond the Image, James Patrick takes a direct, professional look at one of the most polarizing conversations in the photography world: ethical pricing. After a viral post claimed that "$2,000 for 100 photos is unethical," the industry erupted into yet another round of pricing debates, judgment, and misinformation. James breaks down why these arguments happen—and more importantly, why they're built on a limited, inaccurate understanding of how photography pricing, usage, licensing, and value-based business models actually work. In this episode, you'll learn: Why "dollars per photo" is the wrong way to price your work How usage, reach, and client impact determine true value How experience, overhead, and production level shape sustainable pricing Why shaming photographers for their rates is the real unethical behavior A clear framework for building a profitable, sustainable photography business How commercial photography pricing differs from family, portrait, and lifestyle work How understanding licensing transforms your earning potential Perfect for: Photographers, creative entrepreneurs, commercial shooters, brand photographers, content creators, and anyone looking to strengthen their business, pricing strategy, and professional mindset. If you've ever struggled with what to charge—or felt pressure from internet strangers telling you your rates are wrong—this episode will give you the clarity and confidence you've been missing. https://jamespatrick.com/

    Sally Mann is a photographer and a New York Times bestselling writer. She is best known for making large-format black and white photographs of the people and places in her immediate surroundings: her children, her husband, and the rural landscape of her home state and the American South. Sally was born in Lexington, Virginia, the youngest of three children to Robert and Elizabeth Munger. Her father was a doctor and gave Sally his old Leica camera to play with. After university, she wanted to be a poet but she spent more than a decade as a commercial photographer while starting a family of her own and exhibiting her work on a small scale. She published her first book of photographs in 1984. That same year, she began taking pictures of her three children for a series called Immediate Family, which brought her both renown as well as infamy for touching on ordinary moments in their daily lives – playing, sleeping, and eating, sometimes while naked – but also speaking to larger themes such as death and cultural perceptions of childhood, rendering familiar subjects “both sublime and disquieting”. In the mid-1990s, she began to move away from the family pictures in favour of photographing the landscape around her. Much of Sally's body of work comes from observing what is closest at hand because, she says, “The things that are close to you are the things that you can photograph the best.” She has explored the identity of the American South, and her relationship with her place of origin, as well as mortality and decay, and the effects of muscular dystrophy on her husband. In her latest book, Art Work, she considers the challenges and pleasures of the creative process. Sally continues to live on the 800-acre family farm near Lexington with her husband Larry and a number of dogs.

    From Norse frost giants to the Bible's Goliath, tales of giants have haunted humanity for centuries — but in 2002, US soldiers in Afghanistan claim they encountered a 12-foot, six-fingered, blade-wielding giant that killed one of their own before they brought it down.IN THIS EPISODE: Did U.S. Special Forces really shoot dead a 12-foot-tall giant in Kandahar, Afghanistan? How much truth is behind the story – and how does fit into the age-old narrative of soldiers, knights, and heroes battling against and vanquishing giants and monstrous creatures? (The Giant of Kandahar) *** Soon after the Cranmer family moved in to their new home on Brownsville Road, it became clear that they were not alone. (The Demon of Brownsville Road) *** The Elephant's Foot was created after the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 when reactor 4 exploded, releasing a lava-like mass of radioactive material called corium. So radioactive that it's still dangerous if you try and see it for yourself today. (The Elephant's Foot of Chernobyl) *** When something horrifying happens, it's natural to tell others about your experience. But what if, no matter how much you explain it, people simply don't believe you? We'll look at numerous stories from people who have true tales that they have a hard time getting even friends and family to take seriously. (Nobody Believes Me) *** When a great famine struck Europe in 1314, mothers abandoned their children and in some cases, even ate them. Scholars believe that these tragedies gave birth to the story of Hansel and Gretel. (The Grim True Story Behind Hansel and Gretel) *** Cultures all around the world have stories of tiny humans – elves, leprechauns, fairies, hobbits… but how can so many different communities have such similar descriptions of tiny people? Could there be evidence to prove the existence of tiny humanoids? (Little Human Subspecies) *** Traveling to the Superstition Mountains in search of the rumored treasure hidden there is not only a bad idea… it could be a fatal one. (Mysterious Visitors From Other Realms) *** Seeing an unidentified flying object in the sky is pretty common – even in cases where several people see the flying whatever-it-is at the same time. But when is the last time you and everyone around you looked up and saw an entire city flying in the sky? That's what happened in 2011 in the Nigerian village of Bauchi. (UFO City) *** But first… according to GPS, off the California coast there are dozens, possibly hundreds of ships moving around in circles. But the ships, while clearly visible on the GPS system, are nowhere to be seen by the human eye. Are these ghost ships from the past? The oceanic version of crop circles? Sailing ships from a different dimension? Or could it be something more disturbing, like a new type of cyber attack? We begin with that story.

    There may be no other person in Northern California more in touch with the behavior of wildlife than the award-winning nature photographer Randy Robbins. Based in Susanville, Robbins' images of bald eagles, mountain lions, bears, bobcats, foxes, and hundreds of other species have helped both the public, and wildlife biologists, better understand the animals in our own backyards that we never see. Robbins snapped the very first high resolution photo of a Lassen Pack Wolf in 2021 in the ashes of the Dixie Fire, captured the first known image of the rare and endangered Sierra Nevada Red Fox and was the first photographer to ever be awarded by the Natural History Museum of London for an iPhone image.

    THE PURPOSE OF TRAVEL—The world is adrift in travel magazines that tell you to go here and stay there, to order certain foods at “of-the-moment” restaurants. And when you go to these places you find yourself surrounded by other travelers like you, and the only locals you interact with are, maybe, the waiter, or your Airbnb host, or the tour guide taking you on a generic definitely-not-what-the-locals-do tour of the trendiest neighborhood in town. Or you might not even meet a local. Or ever stop looking at the screen on your phone.You will have ticked items off your travel bucket list, but will you have actually traveled? Travel becomes consumption and as with all manner of consumption, you are never quite sated, and hey, there's a media ecosystem out there to help you along.And then there's Ori. Founded by journalist Kade Krichko, Ori bills itself as a “travel, art and education platform” that allows local storytellers to tell their stories on a global scale. It is a magazine that understands travel is an experience first and foremost, and that traveling well means an immersion into people and places, an opportunity to grow and to heal.It's a magazine that assumes you should think about and experience the world around you, and that if you think about it and experience it enough, the world becomes a more interconnected and better place; it becomes a place of wonder.And isn't that why we travel?—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

Leon shares how a single school snow trip opened the door to a life of adventure, how climbing Kilimanjaro reshaped his sense of the world, and why he's drawn to capturing the moments in between — the honest, human moments that happen before and after the hero shot.We talk about travel, creativity, snow sports, mountain biking, and his “lens to pen” approach, where photography and writing work together to tell deeper stories. If you love mountain culture, action sports, or thoughtful conversations about craft, this episode is for you.__In Part 1 of my conversation with photographer and storyteller Leon Butler, we explore the origins of a creative life built on adventure, curiosity, and a love for the outdoors. From growing up on the Isle of Wight to discovering snow sports on a school trip at sixteen, Leon shares how a single experience planted the seed that eventually led him to the Alps, to Africa, and ultimately to Whistler, British Columbia.Leon reflects on shifting from traditional team sports to mountain life, describing how the Isle of Wight's outdoor culture shaped his early sense of exploration. A formative trip to Tanzania — climbing Kilimanjaro on one of the toughest routes — expanded his worldview and sparked his passion for travel, meeting new people, and embracing the unknown.We talk about how these experiences shaped his approach to storytelling: capturing not just the “hero shot,” but the moments before and after — the subtle, human moments that reveal who a person really is. Leon explains why he prefers candid, unguarded pockets of truth over staged perfection, and why “being invisible” is often part of the craft.From ski seasons in France to competing in freeride events, from film photography roots to discovering writing as part of his creative voice — Leon shares what “lens to pen” truly means in his work, and how pairing words with images helps him tell stories with depth and empathy.This episode is full of adventure, honesty, and reflections on the creative philosophies behind capturing powerful human stories.Growing up on the Isle of Wight & discovering the outdoors lifestyleFirst encounters with snow sports and the trip that changed everythingThe Kilimanjaro expedition that reshaped his sense of the worldLeaving the expected path (university, architecture) to pursue adventureHow storytelling became his anchor: focusing on the “moments in between”Why candid, unposed moments reveal more than any hero shotThe journey from snow sports to mountain bikingFrom lens to pen — pairing photography with writingBuilding a craft, not just creating contentFind out more about Leon at:https://www.visualyarn.com/ Connect and follow him:IG: @leon.butler1 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leonbutler1/

    Please welcome to our show internationally-acclaimed photographer, artist, and author Claudio Santini, whose thought-provoking work has inspired much reflection. When I visited Claudio in his Los Angeles studio recently, I felt I was in the presence of a true genius. His work spoke to me, including his latest collection, focused on capturing a quiet mental state to inspire a better humanity. Today, we'll speak to Claudio about his life and work, including an exhibit in Naples, Italy, currently running through December. Claudio was born and raised in Rome, Italy, and developed an early passion for photography. He started his career as an architectural photographer, later exploring the intersection of photography and painting through mixed media. Upon moving to Los Angeles, his work was featured in the New York Times, LA Times, and Domus. You've likely seen his work featured in major magazines, too. And in a world focused on Ai, I wanted to showcase the work of someone inspired by everyday events, people, and nature. Claudio captures the humanity of life just that way, pure and innocent, with texture. Please enjoy my full conversation with Claudio Santini on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, #LittleItalyPodcast, and the #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast.

    In this episode of Beyond the Image, James Patrick dives into one of the biggest questions photographers asked after his viral video: "What do you do when the client is the difficult one?" After more than 20 years, hundreds of shoots, and more personalities than he can count, James breaks down the real root of "bad clients," why a vague contract is more dangerous than a tough personality, and how to protect your work, your energy, and your business with clear boundaries. You'll learn: • Why your contract is your #1 line of defense • What MUST be included in every scope and deliverables list • How to enforce boundaries without being rude • Why "no" is often the most professional answer • How to navigate change orders, unreasonable requests, and toxic behavior • And how to move on without letting difficult clients drain your creativity If you've ever had a shoot derailed, a client push past limits, or a project go off the rails — this episode gives you the tools to stay in control, stay confident, and stay creative. Key Topics Covered • Why difficult clients aren't actually the root problem Most breakdowns come from vague agreements, not personality clashes. How tightening your contract eliminates 90% of conflict before it ever starts. • What must be inside your contract The exact items that belong in a scope of work — deliverables, looks, locations, edits, usage terms, fees, timelines, and change orders. • The phrase that ends arguments instantly How "please refer to the terms and conditions" resets expectations with professionalism and clarity. • When and how to say "no" without burning bridges Why "no" is not rude — it's a boundary. How to decline requests, deny scope creep, and keep the project on track. • How to recognize toxic client behavior early Red flags, communication breakdowns, and when to walk away. • The mindset shift photographers must make You can't be a creative and a punching bag at the same time. Client satisfaction matters — but so does your wellbeing. https://jamespatrick.com/

    In this episode of Visual Intonation, we sit with Jamar Silva, a director and photographer shaped by the rhythm of Jamaica. He grew up in a place that teaches you who you are by showing you both sides of life. Beauty and struggle. Stillness and pressure. That duality trained his eye to find light where others see only shadow and to honor the raw truth that lives in every frame. Jamar brings that sensibility into projects like Yung Bredda with Chloe Bailey, Big Chat with DJ Puffy, and his short film 1816, each one a step toward a future he hopes reaches the big screen. Jamar speaks about the tension that follows him. The chase for achievement pulls at one side of him while the search for meaning pulls at the other. At twenty seven, he is learning how to navigate a world that rewards conformity even as he refuses to blend in. His work is shaped by those who came before him and those who will come after. Their influence is a compass he carries through challenges that have demanded resilience, humility, and a constant return to self. That process becomes the heartbeat of his storytelling, whether he is filming the energy of a performer or the quiet truth of Payne's Bay Fish Market. We explore how his art becomes a mirror for his internal dialogue. Jamar believes the questions are just as important as the answers. His stories are built from that search. They breathe with curiosity, conflict, and discovery. He talks about how adventure fuels his creativity. A road, a camera, a playlist, and no fixed map. He looks for the hidden places. The quiet corners. The scenes that introduce themselves without warning. For him, the journey holds the magic because it brings out moments that cannot be staged. Jamar also shares gratitude for the community that surrounds him in the country he now calls home. Friends who step in front of his lens. Clients and strangers who connect with his vision. Mentors and peers who steady him when doubt creeps in. Their presence shapes the way he works and the way he lives. Together, we uncover the story of an artist who refuses to rush past his own evolution and instead chooses to build work that is honest, grounded, and alive.     Jamar Silva Socials and Website:  Jamar Silva  Source: Instagram Jamar Silva (@lextookit) • Instagram photos and videos  Support the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

    In 1986, Magi Haroun began her career in football photography. She would become the first female photographer in the Premier League in the 1990s. She grew up with close connections to Manchester United. Her uncle was the club's chairman from 1965 until 1980, and she had a good relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson during his tenure as manager. She speaks to Tim O'Callaghan and tells him about embarking on a career in a male-dominated field. She also reveals the unlikely story of how she rescued a cat from Manchester United's training ground. Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive and testimony. Sporting Witness is for those fascinated by sporting history. We take you to the events that have shaped the sports world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes, you become a fan in the stands as we take you back in time to examine memorable victories and agonising defeats from all over the world. You'll hear from people who have achieved sporting immortality, or those who were there as incredible sporting moments unfolded.Recent episodes explore the forgotten football Women's World Cup, the plasterer who fought a boxing legend, international football's biggest ever beating and the man who swam the Amazon river. We look at the lives of some of the most famous F1 drivers, tennis players and athletes as well as people who've had ground-breaking impact in their chosen sporting field, including: the most decorated Paralympian, the woman who was the number 1 squash player in the world for nine years, and the first figure skater to wear a hijab. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the tennis player who escaped the Nazis, how a man finally beat a horse in a race, and how the FIFA computer game was created.(Photo: Magi at Manchester United's 2-0 win against Coventry City in the Premier League in 1995.

    “Everyone tells you to charge more. No one tells you what happens when you actually do.”Photographers love success stories. The ones where raising your rates brings dream clients, bigger sales, and overnight growth. But what about the other side? The side no one talks about online. The side where you raise your prices and the inquiries slow to a halt, your confidence cracks, and you wonder if you just broke your business.In this episode, I share what really happened when I raised my rates before I was ready. You'll hear the emotional rollercoaster that followed, the pressure of industry expectations, and the mindset spiral that so many photographers silently go through.More importantly, we'll talk about why pricing is personal, why your math will never look like anyone else's, and how to build a definition of success that actually fits your life, energy, and goals.What's in this episode:[01:40] The shame and pressure photographers feel around pricing[02:20] Photographer emotional math and why it wrecks confidence[03:30] Why pricing is not one size fits all[04:40] Understanding the real cost of your life and business[06:20] How your definition of success evolves over time[07:25] What it really means when inquiries slow after raising rates[08:00] The four reminders you need before changing your pricesYou're allowed to define success in a way that fits your life, your energy, and the clients you want to serve.

AND AT 14, SHE GOT INTO DRUGS AND PUNK ROCK. SHE ADORED HER MOTHER WHO STRUGGLED WITH MENTAL HEALTH ISSUESAND JENNIFER SAYS “IT WAS A TIME WHEN WOMEN WERE PUNISHED FOR EXPLORING OTHER WAYS TO LIVE THEIR LIVES OUTSIDE OF THE NORM.” JENNIFER FINCH IS THE BASS PLAYER AND VOCALIST IN THE SEMINAL PUNK BAND “L7.”    L7 MADE THEIR TELEVISION NETWORK DEBUT ON THE DAVID LETTERMAN SHOW IN 1992, THEY  HIT THE TOP 10 MUSIC CHART IN THE SAME YEAR.

She"s real and down to earth. She's experienced a lot of life, especially at a young age and today she can look back with acceptance and wise reflection.My guest was born at the Salvation Army center for Unwed Mothers in Los Angeles. As an adoptee, she has a wonderful perspective on family. She shares "family is built on love and not necessarily anything else." She spent a lot of time as a small baby and young child with other adopted children. Her parents told her that "some babies come from mommy's tummies and some do not. Family is family." Being adopted doesn't define Jennifer. Her parents split up after seven years. Her mother was experiencing mental wellness issues, social pressure issues and Jennifer was exposed to extreme behavior. Eventually, Jennifer did find her biological mother and her half sisters. "Curiosity, being open minded and humble" are Jennifer's super powers. "Sandy's resentment," Jennifer believes, "actually helped me to become more and have more acceptance and meet people where they're at instead of forcing narratives of how they should behave."Sandy gave Jennifer many gifts, including the gift of understanding, compassion, the gift of wonderment, life is nuanced and that life isn't always convenient." Throughout her childhood/life she learned the importance of how to maintain friendships and the significance of showing up for other people.Jennifer has been sober for thirty five years. FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/jenniferpreciousfinch/INSTAGRAM: @jenniferfinchTHREADS: @jenniferfinchLINKEDIN:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniferfinch/X: @jennifinchBLUESKY: @jenniferfinchOTHER:TIKTOK: privateWEBSITE:www.jenniferfinch.comSUBSTACK:https://substack.com/@jenniferfinch?utm_source=explore_sidebar  "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

    Welcome to Art is Awesome, the show where we talk with an artist or art worker with a connection to the San Francisco Bay Area. In this Episode, Emily interviews artist Jamil Hellu. Jamil shares his multicultural background—Brazilian, Syrian, Paraguayan, American, and queer—and discusses how these identities inform his work. The conversation explores his journey from Brazil to the U.S., his evolution as an artist, and his teaching at Stanford.Jamil talks about his latest exhibition, "In the Studio," at Rebecca Camacho Presents in San Francisco, which delves into identity, transformation, and the use of vibrant color and materials in self-portraiture. He reflects on his creative process, the influence of queer culture, and the importance of community in the Bay Area.The episode also features Jamil's thoughts on representation, the impact of artists like Claude Cahun, and the significance of residencies in his artistic development. Tune in for an inspiring discussion about art, identity, and the power of self-expression.About Artist Jamil Hellu:Jamil Hellu is a visual artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area, who creates personal and politically charged projects to expand the discourse on identity representation. Through an interdisciplinary studio practice rooted in photography, his work is a dynamic exploration of queerness, community, and cultural heritage.Born in Brazil and of Middle Eastern descent, Hellu's diverse ethnic background informs his practice and research, offering a critical lens through which to examine issues of race, discrimination, and belonging. In today's political climate, where LGBTQ+ rights, immigration, and racial justice remain central to social struggles, Hellu's projects invite viewers to consider the ways we construct, perceive, and validate identities.Through a vibrant visual vocabulary, he repeatedly engages in self-portraiture, activating conversations around visibility, cultural lineage, and the evolving nature of self-representation. His work contributes to ongoing discussions about who gets to be seen and who doesn't and the power of visual storytelling as a form of resistance.Hellu earned his MFA in Art Practice from Stanford University and has exhibited widely. His work has been discussed in publications such as The New York Times, The Guardian, Artforum, and VICE. His projects have been supported by grants and residencies such as the Fleishhacker Foundation, the San Francisco Arts Commission, and the Headlands Center for the Arts. An active participant in the San Francisco Bay Area arts community, Hellu serves as an Advisory Board member for Recology's Artist-in-Residence Program and represents local artists in the Board of Directors of SF Camerawork.
