Jon Fischer is a professional photographer and coach with over 15 years of experience who has pioneered a revolutionary approach to authentic expression photography. After thousands of client sessions, Jon discovered that while technical excellence is essential, it's the capture of authentic expression that truly drives results and creates meaningful connections.Jon is the author of the newly completed book, "The Lens of Truth: Discovering Photography's Transformative Power," which explores how authentic photography can change people's self-perception and lives. His breakthrough came while developing dating profile photography for middle-aged divorcees, when he discovered that truly authentic images have the power to bypass people's self-doubt, helping them experience profound moments of self-recognition that can heal old wounds and reveal forgotten strengths.Throughout his career, Jon has specialized in working with executives, entrepreneurs, professionals, and everyday individuals. He has developed unique techniques to "sculpt" specific, authentic qualities that resonate with viewers, creating what he calls "undeniable" images that people can't dismiss as "just a good photo." His philosophy centers on capturing transformative moments "just in case" they might help someone during a future moment of need.Jon's work spans several specialized areas:Dating Photography: Helping individuals create honest visual representations that lead to meaningful connections on dating platformsHealing Photography: A therapeutic approach using photography to foster self-acceptance and emotional healingAuthentic Photography: Capturing authentic expressions that drive real business results for professionalsA sought-after speaker and educator, Jon regularly shares his insights through workshops and training programs. His upcoming comprehensive course on authentic capture techniques will provide photographers and business professionals with actionable methods to elevate their visual communication strategies.Connect with Jon here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jon-fischer-photography/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61570621920345https://www.instagram.com/jonfischerphotography/https://course.jonfischerphotography.com/capturethejoyDon't forget to take our FREE Business Assessment here: https://www.magpaiassessments.com/4117/0

HT2349 - Photography Under Glass I mentioned the other day that I had visited the Fenimore Museum near Cooperstown, New York. One thing that struck me as I wandering through the museum was that there was only one medium that was protected under glass — photographs. Also on display were paintings, sketches, etchings, prints of many varieties of media, but only the photographs were framed under glass. Is there a reason for this, or is it simply convention? This, in fact, was the topic of my very first Here's a Thought commentary back on March 1, 2019.

HT2348 - Photography Is a Personal Thing One of the most interesting photography books I've seen in a long time is by gallery owner Peter Fetterman and is titled The Power of Photography. Part of the reason this book is so special is that it is so personal. Federman reviews 120 images from his collection and tells us about it, not from its historic point of view but rather from his personal point of view. It reminds me that every picture is a story, every picture has a story, and every story is a personal one.

Shayna shared how she accidentally built a business by simply sharing videos before she even had a business to promote. Her story is the perfect example of the magic that happens when you take action, even when you're not fully ready.We chatted about the power of short-form and long-form video content, how to get started with just your iPhone, and why being willing to fail is part of the journey to success.Here are a few of Shayna's golden nuggets:Start simple:Think like a storytellerCreate a story by piecing together clips.Once you're comfortable, explore the video features on your cameraShayna's approach is all about ease, authenticity, and creativity. And honestly, I was so inspired that I might just go film a little story walk around my neighborhood after this!Heads up: If you're listening in August, Shayna is hosting an amazing in-person event September 8–11 in a beautiful cabin in Montana. It includes styled shoots and tons of learning and connection. If I were still in growth mode, I'd absolutely go!

If you've watched Frozen 2, do you believe that water has a memory? Today's episode will cover Veda Austin's astounding discovery in her study of how water intelligently responds to human consciousness by using its building elements of ice to construct identifiable images. She will also provide some information to understand the mechanism by which homeopathy works. Veda Austin is a water researcher, public speaker, mother, artist, and author. She has dedicated the last 8 years to observing and photographing the life of water. She believes that water is fluid intelligence, observing itself through every living organism on the planet and in the universe. Her primary area of focus is photographing water in its "state of creation," the space between liquid and ice. It is through her remarkable crystallographic photos that water reveals its awareness of not only creation, but thought and intention through imagery. Check out these episode highlights: 03:24 - Veda's background and how she got into homeopathy 06:33 - How quantum physics is bringing in other subtle areas of physics that hadn't been explained before 13:20 - What is the fourth phase of water 20:22 - The water contains a light source 22:21 - How to use people's photographs to create images 24:57 - Tears are expression of your spirit 32:32 - Everything contains some form of information and energy 39:52 - Veda's amazing experience with homeopathy 41:11 - How did Veda connect her work as a water researcher to homeopathy 44:2 - The distinction between caged eggs and free range eggs 47:09 - If we heal ourselves we heal others 50:17 - Our consciousness have an impact on the water 51:35 - Why Veda uses spring water instead of distilled water for her studies 55:38 - The two types of water 01:04:17 - How to learn more about Veda's services Connect with Veda Website: https://www.vedaaustin.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/waterresearcher/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vedaaustin_water/ If you would like to support the Homeopathy Hangout Podcast, please consider making a donation by visiting www.EugenieKruger.com and click the DONATE button at the top of the site.

#588 In this episode of the podcast, I dig into what baseball has taught me about becoming a better photographer. At first glance, these two worlds might seem unrelated, but I quickly realized that the secret to growth in both comes down to the quiet, persistent practice—those thousands of unseen reps that prepare us for our “big game” moments. I share stories from the baseball world, like Dodgers legends Freddie Freeman and Cody Bellinger, as well as insights from head photographer Jon Soohoo, drawing parallels to our photographic journey.KEY TOPICS COVERED The Importance of Consistent Practice (Reps) - Drawing inspiration from baseball, Raymond explains that greatness comes not from isolated performances, but from thousands of unseen, intentional repetitions. Photographers should practice regularly—not just at special events—to develop instinct and technical fluency.Learning From Failure and Tracking the Right Stats - Baseball legends, who "fail" most of their at-bats, exemplify that success includes and even requires frequent failure. Similarly, not every photo will be a winner, and that's normal. Raymond recommends tracking progress by the number of photos taken or personal growth, not likes or follows.Growth Through Community and Feedback - Community is vital, just as team dynamics support baseball players. Photography communities (like the podcast's Facebook group) offer constructive feedback and support, accelerating learning compared to going solo. Having a mentor or a coach provides targeted insight for growth.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSReps (Repetitions): Intentional practice sessions, drills, or photographic exercises done consistently. In the context of photography, "reps" mean repeatedly shooting in diverse scenarios to build technical competence, instinct, and creative resilience.Utility Player: In baseball, a player proficient in multiple positions; used here to describe photographers experimenting with various genres to build versatility and discover their niche.Discussion & Reflection Questions:How can you integrate intentional photography "reps" into your everyday routine?In what areas do you find yourself waiting for the "perfect" moment rather than practicing in less exciting conditions?What “stats” matter most to your personal growth as a photographer? How might you measure improvement beyond social media engagement?How could participating in a community or seeking coached feedback support your progress?Learn What Camera Settings to Use in our free guide!https://perfectcamerasettings.com/ Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,012, August 12, 2025. Today's theme is, "How It All Began." I'm Derrick Story. Opening Monologue I'm one of those odd folks who always knew what I wanted to do for a living. As a kid, I tormented my parents with requests to the photo shop for supplies to brew the alchemy for my own film processing. Then, in Junior High, I got my big break. And that story is how we lead off today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

Episode #140 - Dan Fenstermacher - PhotographerFor photographer and educator Dan Fenstermacher, photography is more than documentation—it is a philosophy of presence, humor, and human connection. From the busy streets of Tokyo to quiet corners of San Jose, Dan captures moments that are layered, unexpected, and deeply personal.

Ultimately, he believes it is about finding meaning in ordinary places.In this conversation, Dan describes the role of photography in his life as a spiritual and social practice, how teaching students keeps him inspired, and how even something as small as handing someone a Polaroid can foster real connection.Follow Dan's work on Instagram @danfenstermacher or visit his website atdanfenstermacher.net.Dan was most recently featured as a 2023 Content Emerging Artist in Issue 15.3, “perform”He was also featured in the Spring 2019 Issue 11.1, “Sight and Sound.”

LW1466 - The Questions I'm fascinated with the responses I hear when people look at my work. When I display photographs on the wall, I typically don't include a title for the individual images. This often generates questions, but rarely more than the two biggies — what and where. I can't remember anyone asking why I photographed that scene or photographed it in that way. Curiously enough, once I answer what or where, they almost immediately move to the next image. Does that say something about my work or about them?

HT2346 - Tiny Print, Giant Mat In one of my visits to the Art Institute of Chicago, I saw a display of photography that consisted of 35mm contact prints matted and framed to 16x20". These tiny prints were impressive and memorable precisely because they so successfully invited close inspection. The convention is to surround the image with white border, but how much is the right amount?

HT2344 - The Edge of the Image Every rule in art has exceptions. For example, never use the rule of thirds because it's formulaic; use the rule of thirds because it's the strongest way of composing. On several occasions, I've mentioned the importance of eliminating those little pokies that are often distractions at the very edge of the image. Sometimes, however, using the edge to cut an object asunder is a great way to expand the frame through the viewer's imagination.

Send us a textRomanian photographer Mihaela Noroc joins Angela Nicholson in this episode of the SheClicks Women in Photography Podcast to talk about her global portrait project, The Atlas of Beauty. Mihaela has spent more than a decade travelling the world and photographing women from diverse cultures, backgrounds and generations. Her aim? To challenge stereotypes and show that beauty is everywhere.She shares how a disheartening experience at university caused her to step away from photography for years and how travel helped her reconnect with her passion. What began as a personal project on the streets of foreign cities quickly became a viral success, eventually leading to two published books and a growing international following.Mihaela opens up about the realities of life on the road, how she approaches women for portraits and the importance of building trust. She discusses why she doesn't limit her work to a specific look or age group and how her own struggles with body image inspired her to broaden the world's understanding of beauty.Now a mother, Mihaela continues her work with a new sense of balance, often taking her family along and exploring analogue photography as a slower, more meaningful way of working. Her reflections on beauty, confidence and resilience are a reminder of the power photography has to change how we see each other and ourselves.Connect with MihaelaWebsiteFacebookInstagramCEWEThis episode is brought to you by CEWE - Europe's leading photo printing company and their hero product, the CEWE Photobook that is the proud recipient of the Which?

HT2342 - The Illusion of Detail As I sit here looking across the backyard at the edge of the wild, I know that if I walked closer and closer, pulled out my magnifying glass or microscope, that with every step along the way I would reveal more and smaller detail. In a photograph, however, if we get too close and magnify too much our image dissolves into ink dots or grains of silver. In photography there is no detail, there's only the illusion of detail.

HT2341 - Screen Versus Print I'm an old print guy from way back. I love the physicality of prints. I love the experience of handling a print up close, the texture of the paper, the smell of ink. That said, I often find I prefer the dynamic range and vibrance of my images on screen. The mistake I routinely make is trying to make my prints look what I see on my screen.

#586 In Today's Episode of the podcast I chat with YOU as I answer the questions that matter most to photography beginners and enthusiasts who are eager to grow both technically and creatively.This episode is all about addressing real-world challenges that come up when you're starting or growing a photography practice. I share my personal experiences, insights, and favorite tips—especially about balancing a day job with a budding side hustle in photography. I open up about my own journey of building a wedding photography business and the practical strategies I used to manage my time, keep clients happy, and avoid burnout.KEY TOPICS COVEREDStarting a Photography Side Hustle & Workflow Automation - Raymond shares his early struggles balancing a day job with building a portrait and wedding photography business. He highlights the time-saving power of using tools like CloudSpot Studio for automating bookings, contracts, invoicing, and client communication. Key takeaway: automation prevents lost opportunities and allows photographers with limited time to provide a seamless client experience.Editing Style Evolution & Managing Creative Ruts - Addressing questions about losing confidence in editing style, Raymond emphasizes that evolving tastes are normal and even healthy. He encourages experimenting with new edits and using past work to develop a style that feels authentic. Takeaway: feedback is useful, but personal satisfaction with your work is crucial for creative fulfillment.Equipment Choices for Travel, Studio, & Technical Mastery - Through specific gear-related questions, Raymond discusses how to weigh camera options for travel and studio documentation, advocating for a minimalist approach while tailoring choices to the context and desired output. He also offers a deep dive into understanding depth of field and autofocus, demystifying how they interact to produce sharp images. Takeaway: deliberate gear selection and technical competence empower photographers to adapt to any shooting situation.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSDepth of Field (DoF): The range within a photo that appears acceptably sharp, determined by a combination of aperture, focal length, and subject distance. Raymond explains how understanding DoF helps photographers achieve their desired focus in different scenarios, especially when combined with autofocus settings.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow might automating your business workflow free up time for more creative pursuits? What steps can you start implementing now?Have you recently felt dissatisfied with your editing style or creative output?

This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,011, August 5, 2025. Today's theme is, "There Is No Single Solution (when it comes to photo software)." I'm Derrick Story. Opening Monologue Photo software is like streaming services. We want just one, but somehow we end up with many. Lightroom, Capture One, ON1, Luminar, Photos, Nitro, DXO - They're all so good! Why can't my favorite shows all be on one service? Well, they're not, and your software isn't either. So we have to construct a workflow that balances the features we want with the software we can afford. And that's the first story on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

Jody Quon, New York Magazine creative director, and Christopher Bonanos, city editor, discuss their "How to Take a Photo" newsletter and listeners share their tips and questions.

What do we lose when every moment is recorded, every action scrutinized, and every past mistake preserved? Philosopher and author Lowry Pressly joins EconTalk's Russ Roberts to discuss why privacy isn't just about secrets or information control, the necessity of spontaneity, the importance of moral growth, and what we need to become fully human. From photography to forgetting, surveillance to selfhood, this episode challenges our assumptions about what it means to be seen--and unseen--in a data-driven world.
