On July 20, 2026, a body-cam video appeared on YouTube: a young woman, hysterical and seemingly shocked as police placed her in handcuffs. Authorities had allegedly found footage of her sexually abusing and recording a 13-year-old boy in a public restroom, footage she allegedly gave her husband to edit. Few months later, a young woman named Talia contacted the us after watching a Rotten Mango Episode. She knows the couple personally, for more than a decade... Her story revealed a far more horrifying connection. This is the case of John and Brianna Nethers, and why it took so long to catch them.

Hey, it's Luci Dumas, and today's solo episode is a little different because I am sort of “journaling” about my experiences around the topic and looking for my own answers as I explore a topic that's been on my mind lately: motivation. Specifically, how we can find it, sustain it, and even question whether we always need it. Is it okay to just be sometimes? To live a simpler life without constantly striving for the next big thing? It's a big question, and one that I've been pondering deeply.As I thought about motivation, I kept coming back to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. You might remember it from a psychology class—it's that pyramid of five human needs. It got me wondering: can understanding these levels help us reignite our drive when it feels like the spark is fading?In this episode, I break down each level of Maslow's pyramid:The basics like food and shelter.Our need for safety and security.The desire for connection and belonging.Building self-esteem and feeling accomplished.And finally, the quest for self-actualization—living our best, most fulfilling life.I'll share some thoughts on how these needs might be influencing your motivation—or lack of it. Plus, we'll tackle that ever-present voice saying, “I should be doing more,” and decide if it's always true. Spoiler: sometimes it's okay to give yourself grace.Some of the ideas on how to become or stay motivated I explore are suggestions toIdentify the Blockages: Set Goals Aligned with Your Needs: Reflect and Reassess: Leverage Higher Levels for InspirationTune in for a mix of self-reflection, practical tips, and maybe even a spark to get you motivated—or at least, to help you feel okay with where you are right now.Connect 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.

Bob Moorhouse worked for Pitchfork Land & Cattle Co. for four decades, and for most of his tenure he directed the historic West Texas ranch as general manager and vice president. Established in 1883, "The Forks" is located 80 miles east of Lubbock and stretches across 170,000 acres of both open rolling plains and brushy river breaks. Moorhouse was raised nearby and then built a career as a respected cowboy, horseman, rancher and manager. He turned the spotlight on cowboy life with his camera, packing it along as he covered thousands of miles horseback and publishing his photos in The Cattleman, Field & Stream, Quarter Horse Journal, Texas Highways and Western Horseman, as well as in his coffee table book, Pitchfork Country, published in 2000. Moorhouse has continued to make an impact on the cowboy world as a director for organizations such as the American Quarter Horse Association, Ranch Horse Association of America and the Working Ranch Cowboys Association. He and Linda, his wife of 53 years, now live in Weatherford, Texas.

San Francisco's Municipal Transportation Agency, or SFMTA, is 100% unionized. The 6,000 public servants who work with the agency are represented by 18 different unions. SFMTA itself is just 27 years old — It was established by voter mandate in 1999 — but there are decades of transportation history behind its formation. And right now, that history is on display at San Francisco City Hall. The exhibit is called “Moving San Francisco.” It features images from over a century of the Municipal Railway, better known as MUNI. Our transportation reporter Zain Iqbal has this story on why seeing the history of Muni through photography feels important right now.

There is no all-in-one software that does everything well. Every single one of them makes you give something up. The only real question is whether you're okay with what you're giving up.This one is for the photographers. Every time I open Threads, someone is asking how to consolidate their tech stack down to one tool — fewer logins, fewer subscriptions, one connected experience for their clients. I get it. But I'm also going to tell you why gallery software that added CRM features and a CRM that added gallery features are two very different things, and why that difference should decide what you do next.In this episode:The three reasons photographers try to consolidate their tech stackWhy I'm fine with Sprout Studio when I'm not an all-in-one personThe one thing Pixieset would have to fix before I'd stop steering people away from itWhat HoneyBook and VSCO (formerly Táve) just quietly added to their platformsThe type of photographer who should not touch either one of them yetLinks mentioned:The all-in-one software blog post (kept updated as features release) → https://coliejames.com/photography-all-in-one-software/Episode 297: Three Ways Business Systems Can Generate More Revenue → https://coliejames.com/generate-more-revenue-with-systems/What Pixieset will and won't give you → https://coliejames.com/dubsado-vs-pixieset/Systems in Session → https://coliejames.com/systemsLooking at a new tool and want the Colie seal of approval before you jump?

Lucas Z is the founder of The Big Split and has spent more than a decade running a photography business in Aspen, Colorado. Despite having a successful business and good money coming in, Lucas found himself $25,000 in credit card debt, behind on taxes, with no real savings or assets — and at one point calculated he was spending 99.5% of everything he made. That experience led him to develop The Big Split, a simple way of handling irregular income by dividing money into clear buckets for business, tax, lifestyle and paying yourself first. In this interview, we talk about why photographers can be making good money and still feel broke, how irregular income creates the feast-or-famine cycle, the financial leaks that quietly drain a business, and the difference between simply earning more and actually keeping more. Lucas also shares how he cleared $25,000 in debt within five months, built more than $60,000 in savings in his first year using the system, and why the real problem for some photographers isn't pricing or marketing at all — it's what happens to the money after it arrives. If your income is inconsistent, your bank balance never seems to reflect how busy you are, or you're earning well but still don't feel financially secure, there's plenty in this episode to think about. The post 684: Lucas Z – Why Photographers Making Good Money Still Have No Money appeared first on Photography Business Xposed - Photography Podcast - how to build and market your portrait and wedding photography business.

New York Times staff photographer Doug Mills has won 3 Pulitzer Prizes for his work covering the White House & Washington, Super Bowls, Olympics, and many other major events. He tells us that he's taken over one million photographs of President Trump alone. In our conversation, he talks about some of the events he's covered going back to the Reagan administration. He talks about being in the Oval Office and on Air Force One, photographing the Clinton/Gore campaign in 1992, accompanying President George W. Bush on September 11, 2001, and taking the photograph of the attempted assassination of President Trump in 2024, which won him his third Pulitzer Prize. Learn more about your ad choices.

What actually makes someone sought after? In this episode, I sit down with wedding photographer, educator, coach, and host of the All Angles Podcast, Claire Hunt. Claire went from working as a pediatric trauma nurse to building a six-figure photography business, eventually booking $10K–$15K weddings and coaching hundreds of photographers and videographers along the way. But this conversation isn't really about how quickly she grew. It's about what she did to become someone people already wanted before they ever submitted an inquiry. We talk about building a personal brand, consistently showing up in your marketing, and creating messaging that connects what you do with what your ideal clients actually want. Then we go deep into one of my favorite parts of the conversation: the inquiry-to-booking process. Claire walks through how she responds to inquiries, why she loves discovery calls, how she keeps those conversations relational instead of transactional, and how she uses the "yes ladder" to help couples confidently move toward a decision without making the conversation feel pushy or salesy. We also talk about what happens when all of this starts working together: better clients, higher bookings, more confidence, stronger work, and the momentum that eventually allows you to become truly sought after in your market. If you feel like your work is good but you're still competing on price, packages, and deliverables, this episode is for you. In this episode, we talk about: Claire's journey from pediatric trauma nurse to six-figure photographer What actually makes someone "sought after" Why your personal brand matters just as much as your portfolio Showing up consistently even when your audience is small Desire-based messaging and selling through emotion Warming up potential clients before they ever inquire Why sending every piece of pricing information immediately can work against you Turning the inquiry process from transactional to relational How Claire structures discovery calls Asking better questions instead of pitching yourself Building the "yes ladder" throughout a sales conversation How to handle a lead who is already ready to book Why relationship-focused sales can lead to higher bookings Building momentum with better clients, better work, and better pricing Claire's Website: http://education.clairehunt.co Find Claire: https://www.instagram.com/itsclairehunt  Freebie: https://freebie.clairehunt.co/hook-inquiries  Discovery Call Script: https://products.clairehunt.co/discovery-call-script 

What makes something great in our work? As I sit in the studio getting ready to record this podcast, I am finding the irony of the topic to really have a stinging bite to it. As I look across the studio, I see so many things that aren’t done, from putting away images recently returned from the gallery, to still lifes yet unfinished, to the buzz of the hard drive telling me that I haven’t finished the last of the organization of keywords and collections from my travels over the past 6 weeks.  It has me wondering if getting things finished is the mark of a great artist.  I can’t count the number of conversations I have had with other photographers who, like me, don’t always finish what they start. There’s a certain weight that comes with those ongoing unfinished “projects”.  So in this week’s podcast, we’ll clean up, organize and finish a topic on our relationship with finishing our work. Before we jump in, this is episode 598 of the podcast, and I can’t believe that we are just two weeks away from episode 600 of the weekly episodes. Crazy to think that I have been doing this for 600 weeks. Finishing a podcast every week, I can finish, but that printed folio….I digress. Let’s explore what happens when things remain unfinished.  One of the biggest challenges that I think a lot of us face is when we realize that whatever we didn’t finish becomes just another line on our to-do list of things to finish. As this to-do list grows longer and longer, it can weigh heavily on our creative practice and make us think that we’re not able to successfully create anything at any time of any value. That is the trap of the unfinished; it creates in us a feeling that we aren’t able to accomplish what we set out to do on any given day. What are things that don’t get finished? One of the biggest challenges in figuring out the unfinished is that we often finish things that cost us all hours of the night to accomplish our goal, and other things slip by us.  I think, if we are honest about it and sit down and make a list of the things we don’t finish, it might be somewhat depressing at first. However, in the long run, we might actually find that things we can let go of. You know, the parts of our creative practice that don’t really matter to us, but we are told they should matter to us. And like many things we should do and shouldn’t do, they don’t need to happen to keep us moving forward. So, what are some of those unfinished projects we face? Everyone is a little different, but the biggest issue is likely the tasks we pursue endlessly with no real outcome. If we take an honest look at our uncompleted tasks, it may start off feeling a little daunting, but upon reflection, we often discover that some of these projects have no real significance anymore. Again, we feel pressured to finish, not because they genuinely resonate with us, but because we think they should.  What would it look like if we did finish things? One of the interesting aspects of thinking about this for a couple of weeks is realizing the value of having something finished, being able to take it off that to-do list, and marking it as done, for no other reason than getting to have it done. Back in my corporate job, it was a lot easier. I think that to finish things there, there were outside deadlines, outside expectations, people who wanted things done at a certain time, and to get them to be quiet and leave me alone, I would end up just doing it (ha ha), but now I’m working at my own pace, at my own speed. I find that it’s easier for me to get enamored with the new and to get frustrated by the old or what happens to me a lot; I walk out of the studio one day and come in the next and start something new for the day with no thought to yesterday. It’s easy to get discouraged when we think about things that we don’t finish, but in the long run, when we do start to make that shift, I think we end up in a much better place. I think when we finish things, we end up feeling better. We have a sense of accomplishment; we feel like we’re taking steps forward. In many cases, we now have work. We can share, showcase or look at and say, “I have developed skills that matter, regardless of our ultimate decisions on how we finish.” In many cases, the ends are more important than the means. Like all journeys, we’re not sure which road we may be on, but we do know that once we reach our destination of having something successfully finished, things work out better. So how do we get more finished? This is one of the hardest things, I think, because for each of us, there’s something different that gets us to finish; each of us is motivated by different things and inspired by different things. Some of us are more apt to finish than others, but one of the important things I mentioned earlier is to go back to that initial to-do list of the things you wish you had finished, and this is where the important part comes in. We have to decide what is actually worth finishing. Working on a project that goes nowhere and offers no value isn’t something that needs to be finished. Often, we start things because we need to try things, learn things, experience and experiment. We don’t have to clean the plate if we don't like the food. By letting those things go as needing to be finished, we make space and room for other things to happen, and I think for me that’s the big inside. Is it finished? Doesn’t necessarily mean completing it; it just means I’m ready to walk away from it with purpose and with intention, not because of some arbitrary reason of avoidance, insecurity, anger, or whatever else is brewing in me on that day. For me, the big thing that helped was to grab a couple of highlighters on that list and mark off the ones that mattered, the ones I could let go, the ones that I could do quickly and the ones that would take a long time. Just having that structure helped make a big difference. I also think it allowed me to recognize that there are times and places where other priorities may show up. We can accept that. Now I don't think that is reflected in that box of things that needed to be moved to the shed that’s been sitting by my studio door for four weeks. That probably could be moved to the studio around the corner in 30 seconds and no longer be on the unfinished list. Still, we have to know what those tasks are. We have to figure those things out. That’s part of our struggle. So this week I would encourage you to spend a little bit of time thinking about your unfinished list and decide what matters to you and what doesn’t. I think the worst thing that could happen is you might free up some time and free up some headspace, and in the best case, you might find that there are a lot of things you could finish quickly and take a lot of pride in your work if you just gave yourself that last little bit of time to focus in and finish something amazing. To sum it all up, finishing projects matters because they provide us with clarity, success, and ultimately, a deeper connection to our creative passion. Don’t shy away from what you have on your plate, even if you walk away.  Recognizing which pursuits resonate with you will illuminate the paths that truly inspire and excite you. 

Part Five of Born Wild: Koda's Odyssey, Volume Two begins with the mistake the clans always knew was coming. Summer settles over the forest and brings people with it. More hikers, more campers, more cameras scanning the ridgelines for a postcard moment to carry home.The sasquatch do what they've always done when the world crowds in, pulling back into the heavy timber, moving only in the gray hours, eating less and resting less and watching more.But discipline can only stretch so far, and out in a dense stretch of old growth four miles from the nearest trail, a wildlife photographer named David Reeves is about to point his lens at something no magazine will ever publish.David isn't a weekend tourist. He's patient, serious, and good enough at reading the backcountry to go exactly where he shouldn't. That's the problem. One glimpse, one held breath, and suddenly the secret three years of caution were meant to protect is sitting exposed in the viewfinder of a man who knows what he's looking at.What follows tests everything Koda and the clans have built. A single photograph in the wrong hands could bring the whole outside world down on them, and the choices the sasquatch make in the hours after that encounter carry a weight none of the earlier fights ever did.This is the danger the clans have always feared most, and it doesn't come with claws or howls. It comes with a camera.Email BrianJoin Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

If you're already booking the number of clients you want to work with, but it feels like you're spending so much unnecessary time behind the scenes, your systems and automations might need an update. In this episode, I sit down with Holly Birch to talk about what happened after she completely overhauled her HoneyBook workflows using automated systems.What's especially interesting about this conversation is that Holly wasn't starting from scratch. She already had templates, proposals, email sequences, and workflows in place. But she knew her systems could be more efficient, more professional, and more scalable. A year after implementing new automations, we're looking back at what's actually changed in her business, from booking studio headshots automatically to creating a completely hands-off client experience for brand photography sessions.We also talk about why switching CRMs isn't a decision to make lightly, how automation creates consistency, and why the ultimate goal isn't simply saving time—it's deciding what you want to do with the time you get back.Find It Quickly00:23 - Meet Holly01:42 - Choosing a CRM02:56 - Why Switching CRMs Is Hard03:58 - Holly Before the Toolkit06:24 - Commercial Workflow Gaps08:25 - Brand Shoot Automation Flow10:18 - HoneyBook Smart File Workaround11:30 - Headshots Offer and Lead Forms13:54 - Schedulers and Calendar Control17:08 - Discovery Calls and Contact Paths20:19 - Headshot Clients and Repeat Companies22:39 - Prep Guides and Automation Savings23:58 - Time Saved Per Client24:27 - Updating Your Prep Guide25:27 - Automation Timing Fixes26:19 - Next Systems To Build27:31 - HoneyBook Galleries Debate30:23 - Pic-Time Integration Tips32:32 - Reducing Digital Clutter34:27 - Why Templates Help36:01 - Systems Create Consistency38:17 - Annual Systems Audit41:56 - Biggest Process Logjam43:00 - What To Do With TimeMentioned in this EpisodeThe Systems Behind the Scenes: How Automation Buys Me Back Time for MarketingHoneyBookFlodeskDubsadoPic-TimeRebrand by Maddie PeschongConnect with the GuestWebsite: hollybirchphotography.comInstagram: @hollybirchphoto

How do you become a photographer when you cannot picture images in your mind?In “The Photographer Who Can't Picture His Own Photos,” Kersten Luts speaks with fine-art travel photographer Nico Trinkhaus about aphantasia, visual memory and the stories behind his remarkable cityscape photography.Nico explains why photographs act as an external memory, how early experiments with HDR photography shaped his style, and how a lightning strike over Berlin's Alexanderplatz transformed his photography career. He also shares the story of Europe Rising, a long-term travel photography project created in response to Brexit and photographed across Europe at sunrise.The conversation then turns to photography copyright, image theft and PhotoClaim, the company Nico co-founded to help photographers protect their work. Nico discusses licensing, copyright infringement, AI-generated imagery and why photography still matters in an increasingly synthetic visual world.Whether you enjoy landscape photography, architectural photography, videography or are building a photography business, this episode offers thoughtful creative inspiration and practical photography advice for photographers at every stage of their creative journey.Subscribe to The Camera Shake Photography Podcast for more conversations about photography, videography, creativity and the business of making images—and explore our related episodes for more insight from working photographers.#photography #travelphotography #NicoTrinkhaus #CameraShakePodcast******************************************************************Get Your CAMERA SHAKE MERCH: https://www.kerstenluts.com/camerashake-merch******************************************************************SUPPORT THE PODCAST: www.buymeacoffee.com/camerashake******************************************************************JOIN THE CAMERA SHAKE COMMUNITY for the latest news and some behind the scenes insights: www.camerashakepodcast.com ******************************************************************Check out our sponsor: www.platypod.com******************************************************************THIS WEEK'S LINKS:CONNECT WITH NICO TRINKHAUSWebsite: https://sumfinity.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicotrinkhaus/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NicoTrinkhaus/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicotrinkhaus/Fine-Art Prints: https://trinkhausfineart.com/PhotoClaim: https://photoclaim.com/X: https://x.com/NicoTrinkhausFlickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/ntrinkhaus/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/nicotrinkhaus/Behance: https://www.behance.net/nicotrinkhausJOIN THE CAMERA SHAKE COMMUNITY for the latest news and some behind the scenes insights: www.camerashakepodcast.com ======================================CAMERA SHAKE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/camerashakeFULL EPISODE 324 ‘The Photographer Who Can't Picture His Own Photos with NICO TRINKHAUS' IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON: YouTube - https://youtu.be/rFKnwZhuRTYApple Podcasts - https://apple.co/2Y2Lmfm Spotify - https://spoti.fi/304sm2G ======================================FOLLOW US ONInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/camerashakepodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/camerashakepodcastX: https://twitter.com/ShakeCameraKersten's website: www.kerstenluts.comKersten on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kerstenluts/https://www.instagram.com/threeheadsinarow/ Hosted on Acast.

Most photographers just check their competitors' pricing. Most educators just say "you just have to show your value." Most amateurs just guess. And that's how the majority of the photography industry raises their pricing.I've found that this is all wrong. There's no quick fix for raising your pricing, but there is a specific way to do it the right way, so that you actually get BOOKED at those higher prices, you feel CONFIDENT when you show them, and you know mathematically that you are WORTH those prices. This is an episode straight from my YouTube channel, and I wanted to bring it over to the podcast today while I'm out of office this week, speaking in California for a photography workshop.

Greg interviews Dax Ward, an adventurous photographer best known for his beautiful photos of dilapidated buildings and abandoned places. Dax begins by explaining that he was a very late starter to photography, getting a DSLR for the first time in 2015. After a random trip to the airplane graveyard down Ramkhamhaeng Road, he developed an affinity for shooting forgotten and abandoned places. As it turns out, Thailand (and Bangkok in particular) are perfect places for this style of photography due to the number of unfinished construction projects from the financial crisis of the late 1990s. Additionally, there seem to be a surprising number of new business ventures in the area that fail for whatever reason or another, so there seems to be an endless supply of possible sites for Dax's style of photography. The guys discuss how Dax discovers and gains access to his locations. It's surprising what a couple hundred baht here and there will do to the attitude of many Thai security guards! Dax then details his research methods and how he manages to build a compelling story around each set of photographs, something that many other photographers don't bother with. In a world where almost everyone has the technology in their pocket to take a decent photo, Thailand is lucky to have an intrepid, creative photographer like Dax to show us how to do things right. Don't forget that Patrons get the ad-free version of the show as well as swag and other perks.

In this episode, Heather sits down with Sandy McCarthy, a longtime Elevate member who has built a six-figure photography business primarily photographing pets and their people. Sandy shares what actually contributed to her success—not a secret marketing strategy, but years of experimenting, meeting people, learning new skills, managing her thoughts, and continuing to move forward even when things didn't work. This is an honest look at what building a successful photography business really takes. You can check Sandy's work at https://www.sandramccarthyphoto.com/, and you can connect with her on https://www.facebook.com/sandramccarthyphoto. Key Takeaways: There is no magic strategy. Successful businesses are often built through lots of experimentation and a willingness to keep learning. Sustainable pricing matters from the beginning. Sandy chose to start at a sustainable price rather than building a low-price business and trying to raise prices later. Your first big sale can change what you believe is possible. Seeing someone willingly invest significant money can create important evidence that your business model can work. Patience is a business skill. Building a successful business takes time, and you can't always know in advance which efforts will pay off. You have to be willing to try things that don't work. Failure isn't evidence that you're incapable—it is information. Learning new skills creates more possibilities. Sandy initially resisted learning lighting, but eventually discovered how valuable that skill became for both her studio and location work. Don't assume you know why people behave the way they do. You rarely know what's happening in someone else's head, so avoid creating stories about why someone did or didn't book. Keep going. The more you continue experimenting and solving problems, the more likely you are to figure out what works. Your brain will tell you to quit. Thoughts like "I'm not good enough," "this isn't working," or "maybe this isn't for me" are not facts. You don't have to build your business like someone else. There are many different ways to create a successful photography business—the right one is the one that supports your goals and your life. There is no secret strategy hiding behind a six-figure photography business. There is patience, experimentation, uncomfortable decisions, and the willingness to keep going. If you're wondering whether your business can actually work, Sandy's story is the proof you need to hear. Press play and discover what happens when you stop looking for the shortcut and commit to the long game.

The Shutter Brothers are back with a new show and a question: Which phtographer do most associate with the National Parks of the United States? Ansel Adams? Charlton Watkins? How about Timothy O'Sullivan? Actually, the photographer who should be synonymous with the US National Parks is a name you probably haven't heard of:  George Alexander Grant. Kevin recently discovered a fascinating book about Grant and his amazing National Park photography, and he reviews it on the show. Meanwhile, Wayne and Kevin sort through some great listener email and discuss more details about the 5th Annual Photowak with the Shutter Brothers scheduled for Saturday, October 24 in Huntsville, Alabama. Mark your calendars now! Chec out our show notes at www.unclejonesyscameras.blogspot.com.  Happy Photography!

Architect, Author, Photographer and New Urbanist Steve Mouzon joins me to tell his story about the emergence of New Urbanism in a location that many would consider unlikely. Huntsville, Alabama might be known for Space Camp, but it's not widely known as a place to find great urban design and architecture. And that's a shame, because there's more lessons to learn here for most cities than by flying to a big, coastal market.Steve talks about the emergence of the Village of Providence in the early 2000s, its unique characteristics, and how that project also influenced the rebirth of downtown Huntsville. He also shares some of his own travails and triumphs, asking “why not us?” For more on Steve's work, please do check out his incredible resource at The Original Green.Find more content on The Messy City on Kevin's Substack page.Music notes: all songs by low standards, ca. 2010.

Check your inbox. I bet there is a Black Friday email sitting in there right now from a course creator, a template shop, or a digital product seller, and I bet you skimmed it and archived it and thought "well, that's nice for them." Then you closed the tab and counted yourself out of Black Friday for another year. In this episode, I am making the case that Black Friday is for you as a family photographer, and no, it does not involve slashing your session prices.I am talking about this in the middle of August on purpose. Every year I watch family photographers ignore Black Friday until the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, then panic-post a mini session discount they never wanted to offer at a price they never wanted to charge. That is not a Black Friday problem. That is a missing system problem, and August is when you fix it.What you'll learn in this episodeWhy the version of Black Friday in your head (giant red banner, 70% off, JCPenney doorbusters) was never built for a service providerThe math that makes the course creator model fall apart the second a photographer copies itFour reasons Black Friday is worth your time, even with a small email listWhy a warm list of 200 local families outperforms 3,000 subscribers who forgot they downloaded something from you in 2022And So Much More!Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode▸ Read the full blog post that goes with this episode (that way, you get all the links mentioned): https://systemsandworkflowmagic.com/black-friday-for-family-photographers-skip-the-discount/▸ Get your free ticket to the Black Friday Virtual Summit: https://blackfridaysummit.com/Connect with Me (Dolly DeLong Education)

Three songs. That's the window most concert photographers get to capture an entire night of energy, emotion, and chaos and somehow deliver photos that look like they belong on a tour poster. We sit down with Ohio concert photographer Tom Rentz to talk about what really creates a signature look in live music photography, from tight portrait framing to the decisions you make before you ever lift the camera.Tom breaks down the craft behind the “lucky” shots: studying performances ahead of time, reading choreography, using burst shooting to catch micro-expressions, and choosing where to stand so the moment lands in your frame. We also dig into the unglamorous problems that every live music photographer faces, like harsh red lighting, microphones covering faces, underlit drummers, and the constant pressure of the three-song sprint.Then we go nerdy in the best way: focus points, cropping choices, why he loves wide glass like a 14-24, and what changes when you're stuck at front of house with a long lens, a monopod, and an ISO ceiling you may or may not want to cross. We also talk credentials, band restrictions, and the etiquette that keeps you getting invited back.If you shoot concerts, want to shoot concerts, or just love the behind-the-scenes reality of live music, hit play, subscribe, and share this with a photographer friend.

A buyer asks, "Can you do any better on the price?" Most artists feel their stomach drop — like they just lost something. I don't accept that premise. Want to join Patrick for a live webinar? He hosts one every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Register here: asf.today/webinar It's my strongly held belief that more art gets sold at a discount than at full price — especially at higher price points, especially in person. Once you know that, everything changes. You can prepare for negotiation, and you can negotiate on your terms. Last episode we covered the maths of pricing your art for Q4. This one is what happens after the price is on the wall: the rules, the tradecraft, and why the buyer who negotiates is the best thing that ever happened to you. In this episode: The premise I refuse to accept: that entering a negotiation means you're the one losing How I learned to reject a premise — the story of why I haven't been offended in decades A car dealer, a real estate agent, and Thomas Crown — why negotiating an art sale is different from every negotiation you've seen The one metric (new customers acquired per year) and the long game: you're not playing a one-shot game, and that changes everything Sun Tzu was right — the battle is won before it starts Your three rules: know your floor, have a range of pricing, and never give something up without getting something in return Why negotiation is the greatest thing that's ever happened: it signals intent My Craigslist career — over a million dollars of cars, boats, and gear, and what the "$7,500 cash, I'll pick it up today" guy taught me The serious buyer drives over to look at the car — for an artist, that's the phone call or the Zoom Get out of the DMs: every step from message to email to call to in-person gets more real The asks list: what to trade for instead of dropping your price Q4 is coming — which means sales are coming, which means negotiations are coming This week's homework: write your asks list before Q4. Know your floor on every piece and be comfortable with it. And decide right now what you'll ask for the next time someone asks you to come down.

What do you do when you've had two successful careers — and neither of them is the one you actually love? For David Hendley, the answer was waking up at 4:30 in the morning to drive to the California coast before work, camera in hand, teaching himself to shoot seascapes in changing light until photography stopped feeling like a hobby and started feeling like a calling. In this episode, David traces his journey from the NFL to the corporate boardroom to documenting the natural world — and we spend most of our time on the question that sits at the center of his work: what does it mean to have a vision as a photographer, and how do you actually develop one? David is specific, honest, and genuinely useful on all of it. He talks about finding balance, mood, and simplicity as the three pillars of how he sees. About walking past the same lake 40 times before the image finally revealed itself. About deliberately limiting himself to five exposures on an outing to force intentionality. And about why, if you're not emotionally tied to a photograph, other people will feel that too. He also makes a case for failure as the best teaching tool a photographer has — something he learned long before he ever picked up a camera.

Step inside Origin Studios with award-winning photographer Ian Boichat for a candid conversation about dog photography, creative studio work and building a sustainable photography business.Ian reveals how he developed his distinctive painterly and colourful pet portraits, why patience matters more than speed, and how he reads canine behaviour to capture genuine character. We explore practical studio photography techniques, from preparing the lighting before a dog enters the set to photographing black fur, energetic puppies and multiple dogs together.This episode also goes beyond camera gear. Ian explains why the client experience is part of the finished artwork, how a purpose-built photography studio became a competitive advantage, and what changes when a personal pet portrait becomes a commercial photography campaign. He also shares honest advice about pricing, editing, marketing and the realities of working as a professional photographer.Alongside the interview, a studio tour takes you behind the scenes of the sets, modifiers, props and spaces that make Origin Studios a flexible environment for photography and videography.If you enjoy thoughtful photography advice, portrait lighting and real conversations about the photography business, subscribe to Camera Shake Podcast and explore episodes from the Inside the Studio series with Kersten every week.#photography #PhotographyStudio #IanBoichat #CameraShakePodcast******************************************************************Get Your CAMERA SHAKE MERCH: https://www.kerstenluts.com/camerashake-merch******************************************************************SUPPORT THE PODCAST: www.buymeacoffee.com/camerashake******************************************************************JOIN THE CAMERA SHAKE COMMUNITY for the latest news and some behind the scenes insights: www.camerashakepodcast.com ******************************************************************Check out our sponsor: www.platypod.com******************************************************************THIS WEEK'S LINKS:Ian's website:https://ianboichat.comOrigin Studios:https://originstudiosphotography.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/originstudios/Ian on LinkedIn:https://uk.linkedin.com/in/ianboichatOrigin Studios on LinkedIn:https://uk.linkedin.com/company/origin-studios-photographyJOIN THE CAMERA SHAKE COMMUNITY for the latest news and some behind the scenes insights: www.camerashakepodcast.com ======================================CAMERA SHAKE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/camerashakeFULL EPISODE 323 ‘Inside an Award-Winning Dog Photographer's Studio with IAN BOICHAT' IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON: YouTube - Apple Podcasts - https://apple.co/2Y2Lmfm Spotify - https://spoti.fi/304sm2G ======================================FOLLOW US ONInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/camerashakepodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/camerashakepodcastX: https://twitter.com/ShakeCameraKersten's website: www.kerstenluts.comKersten on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kerstenluts/https://www.instagram.com/threeheadsinarow/ Hosted on Acast.

You created the image. You own the copyright. So what happens when someone uses your photograph without your permission? In this episode of Beyond the Image, James Patrick breaks down one of the most overlooked parts of running a photography business: understanding and protecting your intellectual property. James explores the difference between copyright and trademark, why photographers often wait until something goes wrong to learn about their rights, what questions to ask when your work is used without permission, and why contracts, licensing, documentation, and education matter. He also addresses some of the questions photographers ask all the time: Should you register your copyrights? What should you do when someone uses your image without permission? What happens when a client gives your images to someone else? Can you protect a creative concept or idea? When should you handle an infringement yourself, and when should you talk to an attorney? James is a photographer, entrepreneur, and longtime creative-industry professional, not an attorney, so this episode isn't legal advice. Instead, it's a conversation about knowing what you don't know and being better prepared to protect the work you've worked so hard to create. James also discusses Protect Your Work: Copyright & Trademark for Creatives, a live Q&A taking place August 26 at The Hive Studios in Phoenix with attorney Wendy Neal.

Adam, David and Neil take advantage of a slow week in the world of 2026 MotoGP to invite arguably the championship's best photographer – Rob Gray (or Polarity Photo) – to talk about making a break in the series, making the difference, working with riders and plenty more.

Memory cards might be one of the least exciting things in your camera bag…right up until one fails, or a camera buffer "locks up" in the middle of an incredible wildlife moment, or you find your card simply isn't fast enough.In this episode, Court does a deep dive into how memory cards actually work, what all those increasingly cryptic symbols on the front mean, and—more importantly—how to choose the right card for the way you photograph. The episode covers SD vs. CFexpress, read speed vs. write speed, UHS-I vs. UHS-II, V30/V60/V90 ratings, card capacity, camera buffers, dual-card setups, formatting, backups, field care, and a whole lot more.At the end of the day, the best memory card is the one a photographer almost never has to think about. Court's advice is to choose something that matches the camera and the way it's being used, build a solid backup and formatting routine around it, take care of it in the field, and then get back to worrying about the much more interesting stuff happening on the other side of the lens.A Quick Memory Card Cheat SheetGeneral photography / landscapes / casual travel:A good-quality SD card is usually plenty. If the camera supports UHS-II, it's worth considering, but there isn't necessarily a need for the fastest card available.Wildlife, birds, and action:Write speed becomes much more important. When shooting large RAW files at 15, 20, or 30+ frames per second, a slow card can become a bottleneck very quickly.High-resolution cameras:The bigger the files and the faster they're being captured, the more card speed matters.Video:Pay particular attention to sustained write speed. This is where V30, V60, and V90 ratings become important. Photographers should always check their camera's requirements for the specific video mode they're using.CFexpress:If a camera supports it and you're routinely shooting large RAW bursts, high-frame-rate wildlife, 4K/8K video, or RAW video, CFexpress can be a major performance upgrade.Capacity:For many still photographers, Court thinks 128GB–256GB is a great sweet spot. High-megapixel wildlife shooters and hybrid photo/video shooters may be happier around 256GB–512GB, while serious video shooters can very quickly find themselves looking at 1TB or more.Court's 10-Point Memory Card ChecklistBuy the right card for the camera. Compatibility comes first.Prioritize write speed for shooting and read speed for transferring files.Pay attention to sustained write speed for video. Look at ratings such as V30, V60, and V90 and check what the camera requires.Don't bargain-hunt too aggressively. Buy good cards from reputable brands and trustworthy retailers.Use a real memory-card case. Loose cards rattling around in the bottom of a camera bag are asking for trouble.Have a system for full vs. empty cards. Face-up/face-down, separate cases, labels—whatever works. Just make it obvious.Format cards in the camera only after the photos are safely backed up.Import → Backup → Verify → FormatDon't remove cards while they're being accessed. Give the camera or computer a few seconds to finish its work.Retire suspicious cards. Court's philosophy is simple: if a card starts giving errors, transfer problems, or anything else that makes him nervous, it doesn't come on an important trip.Remember that a memory card is temporary storage—not an archive. Build a proper backup workflow for both the trip and when you get home.Products & Resources MentionedProGrade Digital CFexpress Type B + SDXC Dual-Slot Card ReaderCourt mentions ProGrade readers as a fast and reliable option for working with CFexpress and SD cards.https://shop.progradedigital.com/collections/sd-readers/products/dual-slot-cfexpress-type-b-sdxc-readerSD Association Memory Card FormatterThe official SD Association formatting utility mentioned in the episode.https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/Memory Card Brands MentionedCourt mentions several established memory-card manufacturers in the episode.

Here's a Thought… #2714 with Brooks Jensen To Know a Photographer There are so many photographers I think I know because one of their images has become important to me. I'm a fool to think so. People are complicated; photographers are at least as complicated as people. (Ahem.) I've come to believe that in order to know a photographer even a little we need to study at least a couple dozen images or more. Better if this covers at least a decade or so of their creature career. Become a member of LensWork Online and have access to all 2700+ Here's a Thought… commentaries.

Getting ready for this episode, I re-read everything I've ever taught about pricing art. Four years on, the rules haven't moved an inch. That's not a confession — that's the point. Want to join Patrick for a live webinar? He hosts one every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Register here: asf.today/webinar Pricing your art comes down to one metric: new customers acquired per year. Everything else — the range, the non-wall-art, the bell curve — works backward from that number. This is the full pricing refresher pointed straight at Q4, plus four pricing plays I've never taught on this show before, each backed by real research. In this episode: Why "nothing new under the sun" is the best news your art business ever got The one metric — new customers acquired per year — and the Slack channel of $10,000 sales that proves it "But Patrick, I only sell to high-net-worth individuals" — the pushback, and the street-cred riff The socioeconomic bell curve: price points from under $100 to prestige. It's all just maths Gift buyers price the occasion, not the art — roughly $628 of gift budget across 8 gifts. Call it a $75–80 slot The catalog test where the $39 dress outsold the identical $34 dress — nines are the costume of cheap Originals end in zeros, mugs end in nines — but get precise inside a negotiation Stepped editions: the documented ladder that opens at $4,000 and hits $17,500 at 95% sold The January price increase — real December urgency, zero discounts Gift cards as taste-risk insurance for the buyer scared to choose for someone else This week's homework: walk your store like a gift buyer. Is there something at $25, $50, $100? Is anything merchandised as a gift? Does every slot on the curve have a price? Resources mentioned: Art Storefronts NRF Holiday Survey — the $628 gift budget Deloitte Holiday Survey — budgets flex, the gift list doesn't Stanford: It's the Thought That Counts — price doesn't buy appreciation The $9 Price Endings Experiments — the $39 dress study Magnum: Understanding the Fine-Art Market — stepped pricing Related episodes: Advanced Pricing Strategies for Artists and Photographers — the magnum opus this episode re-hits The Gallery Test — should artists list prices on their website? Q4 Prep for Artists — the race this episode trains you for The rules are the rules and the maths never lie. Set the range, cover every slot, put non-wall-art in the lineup, publish the ladder — and let Q4's gift buyers do what they came to do. Acquire as many new customers as you can this season, then market to them for the rest of your art-creating life. Your art will thank you. Stay Up To Date With The Latest

Dorian Brownlee is one of the most recognizable photographers in Jiu-Jitsu. In this episode we talk BJJ photography, Daisy Fresh, content creation, the IBJJF circuit, Jiu-Jitsu culture, Jiu Jitsu drama, and what it really takes to build a life around Jiu-Jitsu full time.

You have invested in your craft. You've done the work. Your portfolio is strong. And somehow, it still feels like you're the best-kept secret that nobody knows about.This is one of the most demoralizing places to be in business because the thing you can point to, your work, isn't actually the thing that's broken. At a certain point, the gap isn't skill. It's everything happening around the skill. Because as much as we'd all love for great work to simply speak for itself, the market doesn't automatically reward talent. It rewards the photographers who can clearly communicate their value, build trust, and make the right client think, “That's exactly what I need.”In this episode, we're looking at what actually keeps talented brand photographers stuck and the four gaps that could be standing between you and better clients, stronger inquiries, and more bookings. And yes, I'm going to tell you to put down the Lightroom catalog for a minute.

Do you ever catch yourself thinking, "If I just had better gear, then I could finally charge what I'm worth?" It's one of the biggest lies photographers believe, and it's keeping too many talented artists stuck. The truth is, your camera isn't what's holding your business back. In this week's Worth Every Penny Joycast, Sarah Petty shares what she discovered after surveying six figure photographers in her community. The results might surprise you. Many built thriving, profitable businesses with older cameras, used lenses, and simple lighting. What set them apart wasn't expensive equipment, it was a business model built around serving clients and selling finished artwork, not digital files. Here's what you'll learn: • Why photographers are hitting six figures with surprisingly affordable gear • How a boutique business model helps you stop competing on price and start selling an unforgettable experience • Where your money should actually go if you want to build a more profitable photography business If you've been waiting to feel "ready" before raising your prices or growing your business, this episode is the mindset shift you've been needing. Press play and discover why your next breakthrough has far less to do with what's in your camera bag than you think.

Drew Forsyth is an award-winning portrait photographer and director based in the North West of England, working with commercial and advertising clients across the UK and internationally. His work centres on people who've given everything to be extraordinary at what they do — from dancers with English National Ballet and musicians of the BBC Philharmonic and the Hallé Orchestras, to Nobel Prize-winning scientists, politicians, and performers at the height of their careers. His photography has been featured by BBC News, The Guardian, The Times, and Rolling Stone, and recognised by the Royal Society of the Arts. He's an AOP Accredited Photographer and Fellow of the RSA, and speaks internationally at events like Photo North, Pas de Deux Photo Conference, and the Royal Photographic Society.In this episode, Drew and Nikki trace his path from a JCPenney-style family portrait studio to photographing world leaders, Nobel laureates, and major corporate campaigns — and he breaks down exactly how he prices that work today. They dig into setting boundaries on set (and how to say yes to more without losing your mind), why those early "conveyor belt" studio years became his real technical training, and why he believes his biggest competition isn't other photographers — it's being forgotten. Drew also walks through how he actually quotes corporate jobs (day rates, itemized breakdowns, and the cautionary tale of a client who blamed him for "cheap-looking" dresses), how personal passion projects like his "Breaking Ground" series and a helicopter shoot over Manhattan became his best marketing, and the "Helsinki Bus Station Theory" — his framework for why so many photographers give up on their style right before it becomes distinctive.Topics covered:Setting boundaries with clients without losing bookingsWhy "conveyor belt" studio work builds indispensable technical skillsThe accidental path from individual sessions to corporate/organizational clientsPricing corporate shoots: day rates, itemized quotes, and scope questionsWhy past-client relationships and personal introductions beat cold outreachMarketing through consistent presence, not constant hard-sellingPassion projects as a client-acquisition strategyThe Helsinki Bus Station Theory: staying the course creativelyIf you're building a photography business, want to grow your portrait photography income, or are curious about how to make money from photography online, this conversation is packed with actionable advice.
