HT2654 - Those Delicate Highlights I remember a workshop instructor once suggesting that photographs live in Zone VIII. I'm not sure a definitive statement like this is universally accurate, but it definitely points in a direction I've found true more often than not. If we lose those delicate highlights, we end up with a gray smudge or an invisible blankness. I've found that the best images have, like us humans, a dependence on respiration. If a print doesn't breathe, it isn't alive. And that breath seems to reside in those delicate highlights..

This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,056, June 16, 2026. Today's theme is, "Nighttime Is the Right Time for Smartphone Photography" I'm Derrick Story. Smartphones are good at a lots of things. And they are really good at night photography. And when you want to escape the hot, contrasty glare of summer days, let the evening roll in, grab your phone, and go make some stunning pictures. I'll share my favorite tips for just that on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show. Camera. Go to Prioritize Faster Shooting and toggle it off. We want the best image quality possible. Next, learn how to turn on Night Mode Max by long-pressing the Moon icon at the top of the Camera app. This allows for a longer exposure, up to 30 seconds, depending on how steady the camera is. There is a tradeoff, however. In Night Mode the resolution is set to 12MP, even on new iPhones such as the 17 Pro. Techniques for Shooting in Night Mode Keep hands as steady as possible. Widen your stance and use two hands to grip the phone and keep them close to the body. Brace your body against a solid surface. Gently press the shutter button. Take multiple photos instead of just one. Then you can choose the best. Use the Main Camera (1X) because of fast aperture. Pro RAW + Night Mode for maximum edibility. One of the great things about nighttime photography with a smartphone is that you don't attract attention to yourself like you would using a mirrorless camera on a tripod. You can go about your business unnoticed and unbothered. Yet, you can come away with stunning shots. If you are in a situation where you feel comfortable setting up a tripod, then shooting in RAW with Night Mode Max can provide exposures up to 30 seconds with incredible detail and color. Night photography is a great way to separate your images from everyday snapshots. Whether you're exploring new territory on vacation, or just feeling like getting out in your hometown stomping grounds, these techniques will render your world in a whole different light.

Before you announce your fall calendar to the world, there's one group of people who should hear from you first — and most photographers skip right past them on the way to the public launch.In this episode, I'm sharing the strategy I recommend to every photographer releasing their fall schedule: give your past clients early access before anyone else gets a look. I'll walk you through how long to keep the window open, what to offer instead of a discount, how to handle the booking process whether you use a scheduler or book manually, and how to identify exactly who should be on this list using the segmentation framework from episode 238.Plus — I'm connecting this to the bigger picture. Early access might fill 30-40% of your calendar. What happens when you're deep in fall, your queue is full, and new inquiries are still coming in for those last spots? I've got something for that too.Read the full strategy at coliejames.com/earlyaccess.
Javier Proenza speaks with Ioanna Sakellaraki, a Greek visual artist, photographer, and Fulbright Scholar currently conducting research with the Smithsonian, about the development of her interdisciplinary practice across photography, collage, embroidery, and archival work. The conversation examines Sakellaraki's transition from a career in communications strategy with EU institutions into contemporary art, the influence of personal grief and the discovery of her late father's archive on her work, and her engagement with Greek mourning traditions, Orthodox ritual, memory, and the unstable boundary between documentary and conceptual image-making.

HT2653 - There Are No Bad Lenses, There Are No Perfect Lenses The other day I was working on some images in Lightroom and realized that one of them was a fantastically sharp image that I had made with a notoriously bad lens. Looking more closely at the EXIF data I realized this image had been shot in the middle of the zoom range and stopped down a bit. My "bad lens" performed beautifully. Wide open at maximum zoom this lens was just crap. Do I blame the lens for making bad pictures, or do I blame myself for not knowing the lens as well as I should have?

HT2652 - A Grand Slam Home Run If you are a baseball fan like I am, you know what a thrill it is when your team hits a grand slam. A true baseball fan, however, knows that the occasional grand slam is not the reason to be a baseball fan. It just happens from time to time. The true fan loves every pitch, every swing, every hit, every subtlety of the game. I say the exact same thing about photography. The stone-cold winners are a thrill, but not the reason to be a photographer. This RSS feed includes only the most recent seven Here's a Thought episodes.

Recorded at Apple Park with Adam Lisagor, this conversation gets into what stood out from WWDC26 beyond just the feature list. It covers the looser, more human feel of this year's keynote, what it's like shooting in Apple Immersive Video, and why Apple's new Photos tools feel both exciting and a little uncomfortable. Spatial Recompose, Expand, and Cleanup open up a bigger discussion about AI, photography, memory, and how much a photo can change before it stops feeling real. The conversation also touches on the “Snow Leopard” vibe of the release, and why vibe coding might really matter for creative work.Special Guest: Adam Lisagor.

HT2651 - Processing Delta In mathematics and statistics, delta is the measure of change. Strangely enough, I find this a useful concept in processing my photographic artwork. What is the delta (change) required between the scene captured and the artwork I envision? My role as a creator changes dramatically depending on the delta between the image capture by the camera and the finished photograph.

Apple's latest Photos app updates bring a new level of AI powered editing directly into the iPhone experience, including tools for spatial reframing, extending the edges of an image, and removing more complex distractions with Cleanup. In this interview, Apple's camera team explains how these features use depth estimation, Gaussian splatting, private cloud compute, and new image models to make advanced edits feel simple while still preserving the original photo as much as possible. The conversation also covers Apple's approach to privacy, its collaboration with Google on model foundations, and the use of metadata and SynthID watermarking to identify AI generated edits.
We often talk about framing a photo to get the best composition, but sometimes we don't nail it. Or we realize in editing that a tighter crop would be better. Or something crept into the edge of the frame at the last second. In this episode, we talk about cropping photos, whether AI cropping is worth trying, and why there's only One True Aspect Ratio.

CHECK, PLEASE — Thanks for tuning in. Just a note before we get going: This is the 50th episode of The Full Bleed, and I, along with the team here at Magazeum, truly appreciate the time you spend with us. Waiting is what I consider a perfect magazine. Not because of its design or the writing, though both are stellar. But mostly because it functions as a closed loop. How? The subject and the audience are one and the same. Waiting, you see, is a magazine about creatives in New York's service industry. And it is a magazine for creatives in New York's service industry. That's a neat trick and also makes me wonder why no one had done this before founder, editor-in-chief, and complete magazine neophyte Adele Blanton hit upon the idea. Adele has done the math: 10 percent of the estimated 700,000 people working in the food and beverage industry in New York are artists of some kind. Artists, actors, writers, dancers. You name it. And that number is a healthy baseline for any publication. Waiting has published three well-received issues and now she and the team behind it has to figure out how to maintain and grow the media. That's one of the many things we talk about on the show. Did we tell you this is our 50th episode? Because it's our 50th episode. — This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

What an amazing conversation with Dailyn Matthews, we discussed Dailyn's diverse background and experiences. Dailyn shared details about her recent rowing experience in an eight-man boat, her adventures observing the Kilauea volcano eruption on the Big Island of Hawaii, and her travels across the United States and to seven continents. Then we got into Dailyn's 26-year career as a stunt performer and actress in Hollywood. Dailyn explained how she got into stunt work after escaping an abusive marriage and her dual role as both an actor and stunt performer. The conversation covered Dailyn's athletic background in skiing and her current mountaineering training, as well as her experiences working in the film industry and the risks involved in stunt performance, including a recent broken bone. https://dailynmatthews.com/about/

What does it take to photograph elite athletes pushing their bodies to the point of collapse, or freeze the motion of cars hurtling by at speeds that blur the line between control and catastrophe? Two of our favorite recent podcasts went deep inside those worlds: one with Phil Penman and Kristof Ramon on the brutal beauty of competitive cycling, and the other with Camden Thrasher and Jamey Price on the relentless sensory overload that comes with photographing motor sports. While our video podcast studio gets its finishing touches, we're revisiting our archive for an encore that pairs the best of both sports—from the many stages of suffering baked into professional cycling to the wild mix of visual stimulation and sleep deprivation that comes with shooting a 24-hour endurance race. In each conversation, you'll find sparks of enlightenment that happens when photographers who thrive on adrenaline get a chance to really talk shop. The excerpts here contain the highlights. Yet, the full episodes are also worth your time—links to those are in the timeline below. And make sure to subscribe @BHPodcastNetwork to get our latest updates on YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.

Guest Bios: British-born, New York-based photographer Phil Penman has documented the ever-changing scene of New York City's streets for more than 25 years. and he has quite a bit of experience in the world of professional cycling himself. In his career as a news and magazine photographer, Phil has photographed major public figures and historical events. His reportage following the 9/11 terrorist attack was featured in major print publications and media broadcasts worldwide, and his work covering New York City's pandemic lockdown is in the collection of the U.S. Library of Congress. In addition to exhibiting at Leica galleries in New York, Washington, D.C., Boston, and London, Phil's signature street photography has appeared in international exhibitions as far afield as Venice, Berlin, and Sydney. He also tours the world teaching photo workshops for Leica Akademie. Phil's books, "Street" published in 2019, and "New York Street Diaries" published in 2023 both became best-sellers and have been featured at New York's Museum of Modern Art. Kristof Ramon is a pro-cycling photographer who covers some of the world's most prestigious races, including the Tour de France, the Giro d' Italia, the Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix. Born and raised in Belgium, Kristof discovered photography while attending film school at age 19. He eventually followed his passion for cycling and photography and has focused exclusively on this sport since 2011. Working under the name Kramon, his talent for storytelling and his ability to capture the atmosphere and raw emotion of racing makes his images stand out from typical race photography. Kristof's reputation has earned him the respect and trust of many of the biggest racing teams and riders - which is why he's able to capture such extraordinary in-between moments and behind-the-scenes images. The riders are always his primary focus, as evidenced in his close-up portraits of racers caked in sweat, mud, dust, snow, and grime. Kristof's first book, The Art of Suffering, was released in June 2024 by Laurence King Publishing. Camden Thrasher is a motor sports photographer with a distinctive ability to capture unique scenes of fast action. Growing up in Vancouver, Washington, it was the sound of engines from a nearby racetrack that first drew him to motor sports. After becoming a fixture at the track with his camera during high school, Camden studied automotive design and engineering in college, expecting to work as an engineer or on a pit crew. But the money he was making as a side hustle with his camera convinced him to stick with photography, and he hasn't looked back since. Using a unique slow shutter speed method, perfected over many exposures, Camden revels in showcasing the abstract qualities of gleaming metal, bright lights, and dynamic action that are hallmarks of this sport. Now based out of Atlanta, Georgia, Camden's work has been commissioned by top racing teams and featured in a wide range of media, from print magazines to automotive branding campaigns. Jamey Price is an automotive photographer based in Charlotte, North Carolina, whose motor sports work has taken him to more than 25 countries, and across most of the continental US. Jamey's photography career began while he was competing as a thoroughbred horse racing jockey and exercise rider. During this time, he completed more than 50 races, notching 11 wins in the saddle. His life in horse racing was eventually compiled into the self-published book Chasing: Racing Life in England & Ireland. Yet, in 2011, Jamey's photography career switched from horses to horse-power. Since he began chasing race cars, his images have been published worldwide in magazines, distributed by sports imagery wire services, and featured by top commercial clients. Additionally, Jamey is a LEXAR Elite Artist, since 2014.

Interview Overview Guest: Laura FoosHost: Rushion McDonaldShow: Money Making Conversations MasterclassLocation: Camp Springs, Maryland (DMV area)Focus: Entrepreneurship, tax education, real estate ownership, multiple income streams, women in business, and asset‑based thinking Laura Foos is a serial entrepreneur, accountant, tax professional, property owner, and business educator. In this conversation, she walks through how she built several aligned businesses—from a salon to a tax firm, educational products, and a multi‑use commercial space—while raising her daughter as a single mother and intentionally building wealth through ownership. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the interview is to: Educate everyday entrepreneurs—especially women and small business owners—on how to use taxes, ownership, and strategy to build sustainable wealth Demystify entrepreneurship by showing how multiple income streams can grow from practical decisions, not hype Highlight asset‑based thinking, where liabilities are intentionally offset by income‑producing assets Inspire single mothers and women entrepreneurs to pursue ownership, funding, and scalability without waiting for permission Rushion positions Laura as a living example of “walking the walk”—not just talking about business success, but executing it with discipline, planning, and faith. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Location, Ownership, and Convenience Matter Laura intentionally built her life and businesses close together—owning her home of 20 years and purchasing a nearby commercial property—to maximize efficiency and control.Takeaway: Strategic location and ownership reduce friction and increase long‑term stability. 2. Taxes Are a Growth Tool—Not Just Compliance As a college‑educated accountant and longtime tax professional, Laura explains that many small business owners are taught to eliminate taxable income entirely, but this limits growth. She emphasizes the importance of: Showing income on paper Planning annually for tax obligations Using taxes strategically to qualify for loans and asset purchases Takeaway: You cannot scale—or secure funding—without showing money on paper. 3. Every Liability Should Have an Asset Attached Laura repeatedly returns to a core principle: “For every liability that I have, I want to figure out an asset that is going to pay for that. Examples include: Rental units inside her home paying the mortgage Booth rentals covering salon rent Event space, studios, and meeting rooms generating income to cover the commercial property Takeaway: Bills are optional when assets are designed correctly. 4. Multiple Streams Came from One Smart Decision What began as a tax office expanded into: A podcast studio Photography studio Meeting rooms Event space Takeaway: One owned asset can support several revenue streams if you design for flexibility. 5. Mentorship and Representation Matter Laura consciously mentors other women through: Her Confessions of a Boss Lady Facebook group (400+ women) Social media education Direct example She emphasizes that visibility—“I’m living this”—is key to inspiring others. 6. Teaching Financial Literacy Starts at Home Laura involved her daughter in entrepreneurship early, helping her launch a bracelet business to fund private school tuition. She taught her: Customer interaction Inventory management Profit allocation Reinvestment Takeaway: Wealth habits are taught, not inherited. 7. Smart Delegation Enables Growth After experiencing burnout and a health scare during the pandemic, Laura learned she could not do everything herself. She expanded her team and invested in automation. Takeaway: Growth requires letting go—not grinding harder.. 8. Faith Replaces Fear When asked why she isn’t afraid to take big risks, Laura attributes her confidence to faith. “I have fearless faith… If He put it in front of me, that’s what I’m supposed to try.” Takeaway: Purpose reduces fear and reframes failure as learning. Standout Quotes On asset‑based thinking: “For every liability that I have, I want an asset that’s going to pay for that.”. On taxes and growth: “To grow and expand and purchase things in the business name, we have to start showing something on paper.”. On entrepreneurship as a single mother: “One income is not enough.” On delegation and health: “I realized I don’t have to be in it 24 hours a day.”. On fearlessness: “If it doesn’t work, I’ll reorganize, learn the lesson, and move on. Overall Impact Laura Foos is presented as a grounded, disciplined, and strategic entrepreneur who built wealth through ownership, education, planning, and faith—not shortcuts. The interview reinforces that success is not about one big idea, but about stacking smart decisions over time. Core message:Ownership + education + faith + execution = freedom. #BEST #STRAW #SHMSSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
HT2650 - The Question Answered by the Caption First, let's admit that not every photograph needs a caption. If a photograph does need a caption, it can be useful to consider the question the caption is intended to answer. For so much of landscape photography, for example, the question is Where is this? With that as the question, providing location in the caption makes sense. But, is that the most important question? Is "Where?" more important than "Why?"

Most photographers think they need a better portfolio, better clients, better marketing, or a better strategy.Sometimes that's true but often the real question sits somewhere else.Who do you need to become to create the work, the business, and the opportunities you're dreaming of?In this episode, I share a personal story about finding my own mentor for my photography, why even mentors need mentors, and what happened during two recent kick-off sessions with photographers who were ready for their next chapter.We talk about identity, self-leadership, resistance, visibility, and why so many photographers stay stuck despite having talent, ambition, and experience.This episode is an invitation to stop playing small, stop waiting for permission, and start making choices that move you closer to the photographer you want to become.If you're ready for personal guidance and want me in your corner for the next six months, you can find all information about my 1:1 mentoring here.

HT2649 - Overwhelming Beauty Sometimes I really struggle as a landscape photographer. When the scene is overwhelmingly beautiful, one would think that making a successful photograph would be easier. It's not. The more beautiful the scene before my camera the more difficult it is for me to make manifest my personal response. I'm reduced to using the camera as a recorder rather than as a medium of personal expression. Said another way, the more beautiful the scene the more my picture looks like everyone else's.

HT2648 - One Hundred Compositions Let's say you find yourself in a fascinatingly photogenic location and decide to work it intensely. We've all had this experience at one time or another. What often happens to me is that the first dozen or so images are cliché, the easiest ones, the ones that probably copy other photographers, even if I'm unaware of their images. The next few dozen images might be my own, and are usually accompanied by a thrill. That emotion carries me downstream with enthusiasm. It's then that the real challenge starts has the easy ones are exhausted and I find myself swimming upstream where the most personal artwork inevitably can be found.

This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,055, June 9, 2026. Today's theme is, "Capture vs Post Production: What's More Important?" I'm Derrick Story. Cameras today include a variety of tools, such as built-in film simulations and LUTs, to help us put our creative stamp on every picture we capture. At the same time, post production apps are more powerful than ever, and easier to use. So, what's the perfect mix of creative capture and image editing? I explore this question on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.
The Motherhood Anthology Podcast: Photography Education for a Business You Love
It's been a hard year for a lot of photographers, and so many of the questions keep circling back to the same quiet worry: how much should I actually be charging? For this best-of episode, we pulled together some of the wisest voices from the TMA community to answer the question almost every photographer wrestles with at 2 a.m. Together, these conversations offer an honest pricing reality check, one that goes well beyond the number on your website. In This Episode: Why undercharging quietly hurts both you and your clients, and why losing the wrong clients is actually the point How to find your "enough number" and reverse engineer it with simple math, no finance background required The real reason a bigger price tag alone won't fix your bookings, and what has to change behind the price How standing apart as an artist makes confident pricing so much easier The throughline across every conversation: pricing isn't just a number, it's what gives you room to do your best work and get your life back Each of these women is part of TMA in some way, whether as a mentor, a featured educator, or a member who pushed through the fear and came out the other side booking better than ever. If these conversations leave you wanting to be in the room where the work happens between episodes, this is your invitation.

Send us a message.We open with Daniel Arnold's new book You Are What You Do from Loose Joints — the sequencing, the blank pages, the editor's role — and end up on a harder question: what happens when you spend a decade on something and the first question someone asks is "what's next?" We talk through Josh Safdie's account of finishing Uncut Gems and why that question lands like an insult, and whether there's also something honest, even useful, about just moving on.That leads into the photo walk question: can you actually make work when you're with other people, or is this a medium that demands solitude? We use it as a way into what we think is genuinely missing from the Omaha creative scene — not talent, but the kind of competitive pressure that only comes from being around people operating at a high level and taking it seriously. We draw a line between community (people talking about ideas) and scene (people making work and raising the floor for each other).We also get into the difference between finding something valuable and making something from nothing, what it actually takes to own the label of photographer or writer without feeling like you're lying, and why "what's the point?" is the specific thought pattern that keeps you consuming instead of working. The answer, more or less: momentum is the point. -AiSupport the show If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review. We appreciate and try to read all of them.

HT2647 - New Work Here in the 21st century, the volume of creative work that is being produced leads people inexorably to over-value the new. I don't recall anyone ever asking me to see work I did 25 years ago. The question is always, "What have you done that's new?" Or perhaps, "What are you currently working on?" I can't help but think that they're asking to see my work that is yet unproven and has not survived the test of time. Why is "the new" of greater interest than our proven, previous work?

Shifting Focus Experience - October 27 & 28 - https://john-bunn.com/the-shifting-focus-experience What does it actually take to build a photography brand that consistently attracts premium clients? In this episode of Shifting Focus, I sit down with wedding photographer Miranda Anderson to talk about the decisions, risks, and strategic moves that helped her grow from second shooting weddings to building a highly sought-after photography business. We discuss the power of social proof, how one wedding can completely change the trajectory of your career, why networking still matters more than most people realize, and how small improvements compounded over time can create massive growth. If you're a photographer, filmmaker, planner, or creative entrepreneur looking to elevate your work and attract better opportunities, this conversation is packed with practical takeaways you can apply immediately.

It explores life before photography and music, the realization of a creative calling, the coexistence of photography and music, and the valuable lessons learned from wedding photography. Additionally, it reflects on the speaker's first wedding photography experience and the challenges and growth that came with it. The conversation covers the journey of Alexander Boykins from truck driving to wedding photography and the establishment of his photography business. It delves into the importance of customer service in photography, the impact of corporate work on personal growth, and the insights gained from wedding photography experiences.

Modern sports did not just change how people played; they fundamentally rewired how they lived, looked, and identified within a rapidly transforming world. The conversation with Murat Yildiz, an assosciate professor of history at Skidmore College, explores the high-stakes intersection of physical culture, social status, and the 19th-century quest for a new global aesthetic. Elite educational and military institutions utilized gymnastics and disciplined exercise to mold an upwardly mobile generation, using sports to reconfigure traditional social hierarchies. Meanwhile, the rise of photography helped normalize and spread a uniform corporal aesthetic, allowing young men from diverse backgrounds to adopt a standardized look of proper modern masculinity.
