Today's guest spends her days looking at women in various states of undress, and somehow, the whole thing is a lot less sexual than you'd think. Meet Nomi, a boudoir photographer who splits her time between a jungle studio in rural Jamaica and a loft space in Brooklyn. For the past decade, she's been helping women feel at home in their bodies, one photo session at a time. On the surface, this is a conversation about a unique profession involving lingerie, nudity, and how to pose for a sexy photo. But underneath it, it's a conversation about womanhood, body image, and healing. Nomi shares how recovering from the eating disorder she developed at 16 shaped the philosophy behind her work. She talks candidly about why so many clients apologize for their stomachs, why boudoir sessions can unexpectedly bring sexual trauma to the surface, and why she believes the industry is quietly becoming a form of art therapy. We also dive into the business side that most people never consider: why she prices her sessions the way she does, what it's like to run every part of her business as a one-woman show, and how she built a career that's as emotionally demanding as it is creatively fulfilling. Along the way, she shares the unexpected story of how she met her husband in a Facebook group for Jewish singles before ending up on a farm in Trelawny, Jamaica. Listen for the moment she compares a boudoir session to a trip to the gynecologist. It's an analogy that completely reframes what professional comfort with nudity actually looks like—and it may change the way you think about the vulnerability of it altogether.

Photographer Michelle Arcila joined me at the JKC Gallery to discuss the process of making incredibly personal work that involves family and trauma and who that work might be for. We also talk about photographing your family, especially your children, and how to find the balance between exploring a painful narrative in the work while protecting those you are photographing from your past experiences.https://www.michellearcila.nethttps://www.instagram.com/michelle.arcila/Michelle Arcila is a Costa Rican/American photographer living and working in Brooklyn, New York. She graduated from the School of Visual Arts in 2002 with a BFA in photography. Her work primarily focuses on family lore, motherhood, bicultural identity, and ancestral trauma. Her photographs have been exhibited and published both nationally and internationally; they also appear in a number of private collections. In 2012, after the birth of her first daughter, she took a hiatus from commercial work. During that time she was able to really start exploring how the work she was creating related to not only her experience of growing up in the United States as a first generation American; which came with the feeling of not feeling from here and not feeling from there (“No soy de aquí, no soy de allá.”) and how that sentiment played into her role as a mother and perhaps how all of this combined has affected her mental health struggles. She is the recipient of the Photowork 2025 Fellowship and was shortlisted for the PHMuseum 2025 Women's Grant. She currently divides her time between the Hudson Valley and Brooklyn, NY, where she lives with her husband and two daughters.This podcast is sponsored by the Charcoal Book Club - Begin Building your dream photobook library today at:https://charcoalbookclub.com

Richard Young is a photographer who was once known as the “king of the paparazzi”. His portfolio is a who's who of some of the biggest stars in film, music, stage and popular culture from the past fifty years. From gatecrashing Elizabeth Taylor's party for Richard Burton's 50th at the Dorchester to later being invited to photograph her Damehood celebrations. He can count the first photographs of Paul Getty Jr. after his kidnapping as just one of his many scoops. He was born in Hackney to a Jewish family and his father ran a hosiery stall in Berwick Street market for more than sixty years. Richard has dyslexia and after being expelled from school at fourteen, he went to Soho and landed a job in fashionable clothes shop frequented by Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, David Hockney and Francis Bacon. A two-year stint in New York followed, working as a studio assistant at Electric Lady Studios, before he returned to London and found himself in a bookshop handed a camera and told to get on with photographing authors. For the past fifty years, he has lived a nocturnal, high octane life of private jets, parties and exclusive events, eventually becoming as much a fixture in the world of celebrity as the people he photographed. Richard lives in London with his wife Susan. His photography gallery is in London and has visitors from around the world. On episode 282, Richard discusses, among other things: Wanting to escape school Learning that trust is currency Crashing Richard Burton's birthday party And how the proceeds from the resulting picture bought him his first house How his journey into photography began with a roll of blank film Adventures in New York and Paris Having a guardian angel Still being sent on jobs at 79 Turning up to Freddie Mercury's party in drag by mistake How he navigated the switch to digital Why he reccommends that young photographers experiment with film Photographing flowers …and the east end of London The importance of saying sorry when necessary His gallery in west London How the business has changed Website | Instagram Become a A Small Voice podcast member here to access exclusive additional subscriber-only content and the full archive of 200+ previous episodes for £5 per month.

What happens when a multimillion-dollar photography business goes to near-zero almost overnight during the pandemic? In this episode, Dean Newlund and Scott Proposki unpack the hard reset that forced a shift from chasing revenue to building a truly profitable, scalable business. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Scott Proposki discuss: Scott's journey from photographer to entrepreneur and business advisor What it's like to lose a successful business overnight during the pandemic The difference between chasing revenue and building a profitable company Why do many entrepreneurs ignore financial leaks in their business How mindset shifts and coaching help you rebuild and refocus Key Takeaways: Revenue growth alone doesn't equal success; profitability is what sustains a business. The pandemic exposed weaknesses in many business models, forcing leaders to rethink scalability and resilience. Entrepreneurs often overlook hidden financial leaks that quietly erode profitability. A shift in mindset, from operator to strategic business owner, is critical for long-term growth. Coaching and outside perspective can accelerate clarity and help leaders pivot more effectively. "We're all looking for revenue, revenue generating, getting leads and getting customers and funnels and getting—but what about the cash in your business that's probably going out the door that you don't even know?” — Scott Proposki About Scott Proposki: Scott Proposki is a photographer, entrepreneur, and author with 27 years behind the camera, capturing stories for National Geographic, the White House, Microsoft, HBO, and top global brands. In 2019, he released Camera Focus to help creatives with ADHD harness their strengths. He never expected the book to save him when the pandemic wiped out his business in a week. After three years of silence, depression, and rebuilding, its principles helped him reinvent himself and create the Camera Focus Method™, a system empowering photographers to build confident, resilient businesses. Today, Scott's mission is bigger than photography.

Welcome to Unpacked, Five Questions, a podcast that takes you behind the scenes of one great travel story. In this episode, executive editor Katherine LaGrave sits down with documentary photographer Nathalie Mohadjer, whose images of the desert oasis of Siwa appear in Afar's winter 2026 issue. For four weeks in Siwa, an ancient town some 450 miles from Cairo, Nathalie traded the typical three-day shoot for a slower kind of immersion — sharing breakfasts in the old town, spending afternoons with a local woman named Fatima, and bathing in a hidden cold spring with her family's kids. She talks with Katherine about photographing a community where Siwan women are rarely seen by outsiders, why patience and respect matter more than the camera itself, and how losing your sense of time in the desert can change the way you see a place. She also shares advice for travelers heading to Siwa — and the one moment she chose not to capture. Meet this week's guest Nathalie Mohadjer is a German-Iranian documentary photographer based in Paris whose work has appeared in the New York Times, Monocle, and Le Monde. Episode highlights How a stranger waving from a window in Siwa's ruins led to weeks of access to a local family's home, kitchen, and hidden swimming spots Why Nathalie spent nearly four weeks in Siwa — and what that kind of time reveals about a place that most visitors see in three or four days The ethics and art of photographing people in other cultures: when to put the camera away, and how to earn the moment rather than take it What makes Siwa's community so distinct from the rest of Egypt — and the Berber and Tuareg roots that shape its culture Nathalie's practical advice for travelers heading to Siwa: slow down, talk to strangers, and don't be afraid to follow an unexpected invitation Links & resources Follow Nathalie Mohadjer on Instagram Explore her visual story about Siwa, Egypt on Afar Explore her photographs of Oman in her first Afar feature Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction 00:03:00 Arriving in Siwa 00:09:00 Meeting Fatima 00:17:00 Photographing with Patience 00:24:00 Timelessness and Culture 00:30:00 Advice for Travelers Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the SheClicks Women in Photography Podcast, Angela Nicholson speaks with adventure photographer and filmmaker Grace Taylorson Smith Pritchard (AKA Grace T.S.P) about building a photography career by following what you genuinely love.Grace's route into photography wasn't straightforward. With a background in law and marine biology, she didn't begin with a clear plan to work in the creative industry. Instead, it was through travel, scuba diving and documenting her experiences that she picked up a camera and started to explore photography more seriously.What makes Grace's story so relatable is that she didn't try to force a niche. Instead, she photographed the things she already loved, including climbing, mountain biking and outdoor adventure. That authenticity naturally led to opportunities, from editorial features in adventure magazines to commercial photography work with outdoor brands.In this conversation, Grace shares what it really takes to work as an adventure photographer. From shooting in extreme environments to managing the physical demands of working in the mountains, she explains why skills, preparation and experience are just as important as creativity.Angela and Grace also discuss the balance between still photography and filmmaking, how personal projects can lead to paid work and why changing camera systems helped her rediscover her creative spark.This episode is a great listen for anyone looking to build a photography career in a way that feels true to them. Grace's journey is a reminder that you don't need a traditional path. Sometimes the best way forward is simply to start by photographing what you love most.Connect with GraceWebsiteInstagramSupport the show
Sports photography hinges on freezing peak action—transforming a high-speed blur into a dramatic portrayal of human effort. When you combine that with the unyielding drive of elite athletes on the world stage, the pressure to nail the shot provides an incredible adrenaline rush. In today's podcast, we discuss the unique challenges of documenting history in the making and unpacking stories from the Winter Games with renowned sports photographer Jean Fruth, recently back from her first Olympics. From a hectic scramble on arrival in Milan—getting to the arena and gearing up as her first game was already in progress—to the detailed planning and creative insights she brought to every second of the ensuing competition, Jean shares her front row seat at the Games. We also follow her behind the scenes and learn how she negotiated a special request for access and her diplomatic response that transformed an unqualified maybe into a yes. As she notes during our chat, "My Olympics was an intense women's hockey Olympics. It was—I have a chance to make something special, something different. I have two and three games per day. I'm here for almost three weeks. I have a chance to make all kinds of pictures. So, I'm not going to play it safe." Episode Timeline: 2:24: Jean's shift from baseball to hockey to promote women's sports, plus her path to photographing hockey at her first Olympics. 13:11: The high-pressure logistics behind Jean's arrival in Milan with her first game already in progress. 21:52: Photographing day two and connecting with her photography heroes. 24:30: Jean's creative approach to photographing hockey at the Games, plus the challenge of shooting through plexiglass. 28:07: Chasing the story behind Women's Olympic hockey games and the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL). 30:02: The ask to shoot behind-the-scenes and Jean's approach to dealing with a maybe. 35:06: Episode Break 35:51: Jean talks about her gear and the tools available to photographers in the media center. 44:21: Lugging her gear to a prime Opening Ceremonies vantage point despite wrong directions, plus the pizza delivery service that sustained her during overnight editing sessions. 50:57: Derek and Jean talk lighting, camera settings, and using a preset to pan with action shots. 54:26: The challenges of shooting through plexiglass, plus getting creative with different elements to keep it interesting—from panning techniques to playing with colors. 1:01:24: The dream moments at the end of the competition, and how Jean hustled to capture both the view from above and a central position for the team shot with medals. 1:04:25: Jean's biggest take away from the Olympics—the collaborative aspect of performing at the highest level. It felt good to be nervous and then overcome it. 1:07:14: Jean's parting advice—you belong here, having confidence in yourself, and being prepared to shift. Guest Bio: Jean Fruth does more than take pictures of sports; she tells stories of vibrant personalities and local cultures. As a Sony Artisan of Imagery, Jean has covered nearly every sport, though baseball remains her specialty. After helping to build the archive of the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum, she co-founded the Grassroots Baseball non-profit in 2019 to celebrate the amateur game worldwide. Jean is also a filmmaker and the author of three books. Her latest project See Her Be Her includes a documentary film, a book, and a non-profit aimed at shining an overdue spotlight on women athletes, or "unsung sheroes," as she calls them. Jean's work is regularly featured in prestige media and has been exhibited in major institutions from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum to the Smithsonian to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Most recently, she was honored with the 2025 United Nations International Photographic Council Achievement Award.

In an industry often driven by trends, shot lists, and repeatable formulas, wedding photographer John Dolan has built a career by doing the opposite: showing up with an open mind, a few film cameras, and a deep respect for what actually unfolds on a wedding day. In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, John and I dig into what it really means to be "true" to a couple's experience. Rather than manufacturing moments or chasing perfection, John approaches weddings as a blank slate, allowing the day to reveal itself organically. That philosophy carries through every aspect of his work, from how he interacts with couples to his continued commitment to shooting film in an overwhelmingly digital world. If you're a wedding photographer feeling burned out by formulas, overwhelmed by the pressure to perform for social media, or simply curious about a more honest, grounded approach to storytelling, this episode offers a refreshing reminder: you don't need to invent meaning - sometimes your job is just to notice it.

Listen to Conversations on Dance ad-free on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/conversationsondanceToday, on "Conversations on Dance", we talk with Ken Browar and Deborah Ory, the minds (and cameras) behind NYC Dance Project. We talk with Ken and Deborah about their book, Martha Graham Dance Company, 100 years, and how their backgrounds in dance and editorial fashion shaped their approach. They explain how early dancer sessions evolved into a slow, highly collaborative process focused on a few images that suggest continuing movement rather than freezing it. For the Graham centennial, they installed a studio setup at the company for three years, photographed 25 works from largely current repertory, combined studio and location shoots, used historical research and images as references.

What does it mean to build a life in images?In this episode of Ojai Talk of the Town, I sit down with Ojai-based artist Dennis Mukai, whose career spans commercial illustration, celebrity portrait photography, and a strikingly original fine art practice.Born in Hiroshima and raised in Southern California, Mukai trained at the Art Center College of Design before building a nationally recognized career as an illustrator and photographer. Over the decades, he has worked with major brands, major periodicals such as Playboy, photographed musicians and actors, and developed a meticulous layered painting technique in which he sands through pigment to reveal what lies beneath — work that feels at once cinematic, nostalgic, and quietly subversive.We talk about:• Growing up between cultures• The discipline of commercial art versus the freedom of fine art• Photographing public figures (especially beautiful women) — and searching for the private human inside the persona• Why process matters as much as product• How Ojai's light and stillness shape his current work• Reinvention, longevity, and what it means to keep evolvingThis is a conversation about craft, patience, beauty, and the long arc of an artistic life.We did not talk about cherry salmon, tiger maple or the architectural highlights of San Miguel de Allende. If you care about art, photography, discipline, or the creative journey itself — you'll enjoy this one. Check out Dennis' work at ...https://www.dennismukai.com/
WELCOME: As the host of We Don't Die," my mission is to explore the vast and mysterious landscape of the afterlife. I interview guests from all walks of life with wildly different experiences.

I invite you to listen with an open mind, take the information that empowers your life, and if something does not fit...simply leave that behind. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Timothy P. Malone was a business tycoon with a staffing empire worth $400 million, but behind the scenes, he was fighting a secret seven-year battle with opioid addiction. He credits his recovery not to a rehab center, but to the unconditional love of his dog, Boo Boo. In this interview, Tim shares his personal and often surprising perspective on what happened after Boo Boo passed. He describes a series of intense spiritual events—from photographing "orbs" and "angels" to his belief that he has opened a portal for souls to cross over. Tim's views are unique, unconventional, and deeply personal. Whether you are a believer in spirit photography or a skeptic looking to understand the human need for connection, Tim's passion for the unseen world is undeniable. In this episode, Tim discusses: * His journey from high-functioning addiction to sobriety. * How the grief of losing a pet triggered a spiritual opening. * His collection of "Spirit Photos" and what he believes they show. * His controversial theories on portals and reincarnation.

This open access book offers the first in-depth appraisal of the photographic archive of Frank Scholten (1881–1942), a queer Dutch photographer and Catholic convert whose work in Palestine between 1921 and 1923 provides a remarkable lens on the intersecting dynamics of modernity, religion, colonialism, and visual culture. Drawing on over 26,000 photographs, it situates Scholten's work within transnational religious, colonial, and nationalist networks. Employing a relational methodology, Photographing Biblical Modernity: Frank Scholten in British Mandate Palestine (I.B. Tauris, 2026) treats photography not merely as visual documentation but as a site of layered cultural encounters shaped by the movements of people, ideas, and ideologies. It interrogates biblical visuality, the performance of indigeneity, intercommunal relations, and the gendered politics of labour and nationalism.Through interdisciplinary engagement with visual culture, Middle East studies, and gender theory, this book considers how Scholten's positionality offers insights into both the granular details of Palestinian society and broader macro-historical shifts during a period of profound transition. Rather than framing Palestine as a biblical relic, Scholten's photographs reveal a socially and politically complex society under early British Mandate rule. Ultimately, this book positions Scholten's archive as a vital historical source for understanding the layered and contested narratives that have defined Palestine's modern history.

Lighting Black skin isn't complicated - but it is often taught wrong. In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer, we break down how to photograph darker skin tones beautifully, accurately, and intentionally. From highlights and contrast to common lighting mistakes photographers make, this is a must-listen conversation for anyone serious about portrait photography. Learn better lighting Create stronger images Photograph people more honestly For decades, photography education, film stock, and digital camera technology have been built around a narrow definition of "correct" exposure - one that often fails Black and darker-skinned subjects. The result? Images that lack depth, nuance, and respect for the full spectrum of skin tones. In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer, we dive deep into the art, science, and responsibility of lighting Black-skinned subjects properly. This is not about shortcuts or presets - it's about understanding light, skin, and intention.

In this episode, Agence France-Presse (AFP) global news editor Roland de Courson joins the podcast to discuss his photo-and-essay project — K-Scar — documenting life, memory and tourism along the inter-Korean border. De Courson explains why he describes the border as a “scar” and reflects on how indifference, curiosity and commercialized “dark tourism” shape the way people experience the DMZ and nearby frontline sites. The conversation moves from observatories and curated attractions to quieter human stories, such as aging refugees and communities living inside civilian control zones. He also discusses how art, everyday life and even a Starbucks overlooking North Korea reveal the normalization and contradictions of the border. Roland de Courson is a French journalist born in Madrid. He started his career in Canada and joined AFP in 1994. He is currently a global news editor in Seoul. For over two years, Roland traveled along the inter-Korean border to document his K-Scar project, which can be found online here. About the podcast: The North Korea News Podcast is a weekly podcast hosted by Jacco Zwetsloot exclusively for NK News, covering all things DPRK — from news to extended interviews with leading experts and analysts in the field, along with insights from our very own journalists.
In this week's episode, Episode 568 of The Perceptive Photographer, I spend some time reflecting on a tension many photographers experience, whether we admit it or not: the pull between photographing for ourselves and photographing for validation. At some point, often without realizing it, we start making images with an audience in mind. We think about what will be liked, shared, or understood rather than what genuinely holds our attention. Validation isn't inherently bad. It can be encouraging and even motivating, but when it becomes our north star, so to speak, when we make photographs, it quietly starts to shape our choices. Subjects become safer, risks become fewer, and curiosity gives way to performance. This comes up again and again in my work. I have it course-corrected, but a subtle change shifts it back off track. There will be periods when I am/was/will be clearly trying to impress—chasing responses rather than experiences. The camera shifted from exploration to results. Over time, that approach gets a little exhausting. I also know that when I stopped trying to impress and started paying closer attention to what actually interested me. The work became quieter. The subjects became simpler. It becomes a meaningful body of work. And while the external responses might not be immediate or loud or what I hoped for, the photographs felt more honest and more meaningful. This isn't about rejecting social media or avoiding sharing work. It's about recognizing who you're really making photographs for and what happens when you allow your own curiosity to lead. I invite listeners to consider what they would photograph if no one else ever saw the image—and why those photographs might matter more than we think.

PHOTOGRAPHING THE MOON AND SEA Colleague Anika Burgess, Flashes of Brilliance. Early photography expanded scientific understanding, allowing humanity to visualize the inaccessible. James Nasmyth produced realistic images of the moon by photographing plaster models based on telescope observations, aiming to prove its volcanic nature. Simultaneously, Louis Boutan spent a decade perfecting underwater photography, capturing divers in hard-hat helmets. These efforts demonstrated that photography could be a tool for scientific analysis and discovery, revealing details of the natural world previously hidden from the human eye.

F-Stop Collaborate and Listen - A Landscape Photography Podcast
In this episode of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, Matt Payne sits down with mountain photographer Scott Kranz to explore Scott's dramatic shift from a legal career to full-time outdoor photography in the Cascades. They dive into Scott's deep connection with Washington's mountains, especially the North Cascades, and the physical and mental challenges of documenting them. Scott shares insights from his massive projects—the 50 Peaks and Washington 100—to celebrate these landscapes and the effort required to capture their rugged beauty.

What if you could turn a creative side gig into $16K photographing dogs—even if you've never charged for a portrait session before? In this episode, Felix Bird shares how he went from composing music and shooting event videos to earning real income as a boutique photographer. With no formal portrait business, Felix joined Boutique Breakthrough and followed each step with courage, skepticism, and eventually—results. ● The moment he stopped doubting the pricing model and believed he could actually do this ● How photographing kids (and dogs!) became more than just a favor for friends ● What changed when his wife, a fellow creative, saw how real and sustainable this path was If you're juggling other creative work and wondering if this can really work for you too—Felix's story is the proof and the push you've been waiting for.
