When once upon a time the term dog-friendly hadn't been invented as we know it today!That's why it was brilliant to chat with Photographer, Jackie Richards, about her book: Dogs in the Workplace.For over 13 years Jackie has capture dogs and their people in all sorts of different workplaces: from garages, butcher's shops, cinemas, offices, hairdressers, nightclubs, antique shops and the list goes on.The book captures the relationship between many different breeds and their owners in many different situations.The common thread is the bond that's conveyed without words, without fuss, and as they say the camera never lies.It's a labour of love combined with a lot of talent and could make the perfect Christmas gift, as it will sit pride of place on any coffee table!Huge thanks to Jackie Richards: @dogsintheworkplaceThis episode is powered by Antinol.

In this episode of The Mentors Radio, Host Tom Loarie talks with Michael Collopy, one of the preeminent portrait photographers of our time — a man whose camera has revealed the inner soul of saints, world leaders, Nobel Peace laureates, and some of the most recognizable entertainers on the planet. Over 45 years, he has photographed six U.S. presidents, 37 Nobel Peace Prize laureates, and hundreds of global icons — and in the process, he has observed patterns of character, humility, ego, joy, and loneliness that very few people ever get to see up close. Michael Collopy is self-taught, yet mentored by giants like Ansel Adams and Richard Avedon. His life's work has taken him from Mother Teresa's streets of Calcutta, to Pope John Paul II in Mexico City, to Nelson Mandela, to the Rolling Stones in Paris, and everywhere in between. In this episode, you’ll discover what Michael has learned about people — about what truly distinguishes the great from the merely famous, the fulfilled from the restless, and the peacemakers from the performers.  LISTEN TO the radio broadcast live on iHeart Radio, or to “THE MENTORS RADIO” podcast any time, anywhere, on any podcast platform – subscribe here and don't miss an episode!

A MODERN MAGAZINE EDITOR IN A POST-MAGAZINE WORLD—In the media storm that is 2025, the person you want captaining your ship is smart, decisive, and cool, calm, and collected—in other words, she's Nikki Ogunnaike.The editor-in-chief of Marie Claire, whom we got to know when we worked together at Elle, is the very model of a modern magazine editor, in that—unlike the lifers of old—she hopscotched through a ton of jobs, accruing skills as a writer, a fashion editor, a digital editor and a print editor, and, oh yeah, a social-media savvy multi-platform operator—to become what she is now: someone uniquely equipped to lead a new era of Marie Claire.We talked to Nikki about what it's like to run a modern media brand in a post-magazine world—what does the job of “magazine editor” even mean now? Also: how is the post-Hearst Marie Claire evolving to meet a new reader, or should we say “follower,” and which parts of its original DNA Nikki is working to preserve. Also: Is the “girlboss” back?—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

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/

Creepypasta Scary Story

In this special episode recorded at our A Photographic Life Live 2025 event at Oxford Brookes University Grant speaks with photographer and filmmaker focusing on her dedication to the long form project, her film Mother Vera and the the need for dedicated research when building a body of work. Alys Tomlinson Tomlinson was born and grew up in Brighton, UK and studied English, literature and communications at the University of Leeds.After graduating in the mid-1990s, she moved to New York City for a year, where she undertook her first commission as a photographer, shooting all the pictures for the Time Out Guide to the city. She returned to London to study photography at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and later completed a part-time MA in the anthropology of travel, tourism and pilgrimage at SOAS University of London. During each of several later trips to New York City over four years, she walked the 14 mile length of Broadway, first in full taking 10 hours then in sections, and making street portraits. This resulted in the book Following Broadway (2013). Tomlinson's book Ex-Voto (2019) documents ex-voto (votive offerings made to a saint or to a divinity) left at several European destinations of Christian pilgrimage: the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, France; Ballyvourney, Ireland; and the Grabarka Holy Mount in Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland, close to the border with Belarus. Tomlinson's film Mother Vera, accompanies her Ex-Voto work. https://www.motherverafilm.co.uk Lost Summer (2020) is a book of black and white portraits of young people aged between 15 and 19 in north London. With the cancellation of final exams and ritual events such as proms and graduations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tomlinson photographed her subjects in the outfits they would have worn to prom, in their gardens and local parks. Her latest project Gli Isolani (The Islanders) was published by GOST Books in 2022. Alys's work is collected privately and is in the following collections: National Portrait Gallery (London), The Rencontres d'Arles Collection, The Bodleian Library, AmberSide Collection. https://alystomlinson.co.uk Dr.Grant Scott After fifteen years art directing photography books and magazines such as Elle and Tatler, Scott began to work zas a photographer for a number of advertising and editorial clients in 2000. Alongside his photographic career Scott has art directed numerous advertising campaigns, worked as a creative director at Sotheby's, art directed foto8magazine, founded his own photographic gallery, edited Professional Photographer magazine and launched his own title for photographers and filmmakers Hungry Eye. He founded the United Nations of Photography in 2012, and is now a Senior Lecturer and Subject Co-ordinator: Photography at Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, and a BBC Radio contributor. Scott is the author of Professional Photography: The New Global Landscape Explained (Routledge 2014), The Essential Student Guide to Professional Photography (Routledge 2015), New Ways of Seeing: The Democratic Language of Photography (Routledge 2019), and What Does Photography Mean To You? (Bluecoat Press 2020).

Later, we stay in Trenčín to meet Canadian photographer Donald Weber, who is helping the city reimagine itself as the 2026 European Capital of Culture while honoring its nearly thousand-year-old heritage. Weber shares insights from his residency and the perspective he brings to capturing Trenčín's evolving identity.

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.

Photographer and storyteller Leon Butler joins me for Part 1 of a two-part conversation exploring his journey from the Isle of Wight to Whistler. 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. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

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/
