HT2277 - The Intersection of Life and Scene I'm wrapping up my month in Oregon and reflecting on what I've seen and photographed here during these last few weeks. There is so much left to do, but time is running out. Come to think of it, that sense of the incomplete is a lifelong reality for every photographic trip I've been on. Perhaps that is just the nature of being an artist; we live in the intersection of life and scene. We accumulate moments with a little luck and happenstance. Our work is the map of our life, a record of chance encounters with subjects and weather.

LW1456 - Too Much of a Good Idea A frequent characteristic we see in submissions to LensWork is when a photographer develops an interesting idea but then carries that idea too far with not enough image variations. The single image, a trilogy, perhaps even a Seeing in SIXES might be sufficient, but the photographer has explored the idea for 60 or 80 images and then neglected the all-important editing and selection process.

HT2276 - I Like That One When someone looks at a collection of my chapbooks or PDFs and says, "I like that one" I know I've failed completely. The statement, "I like that one" is a statement about them and their values with which my artwork just happens to agree. My artwork succeeds when they say, "I've never thought about that" or "I've never looked at it that way."

HT2275 - Why They Call It Fishing You've probably all heard that old canard that they call it fishing, rather than catching, for a reason. The exact same thing exists in photography. When I'm out in the field I prefer not to think that I'm making art, but rather that I'm exploring the world. The artwork comes from that exploration, but rarely takes place simultaneously. Being out there with our antennae in full use is its own reward. Show your appreciation for our free weekly Podcast and our free daily Here's a Thought… with a donation Thanks!

HT2274 - A Means to Depth She asked, "What is so special about photography?" I see photography as a means to explore the world, and that includes exploring our deeper self. I'm not sure photography is any better than any other expressive medium, but it's at least equal to any other artistic pursuit.

We know, it seems like we just talked about AI in photography, but the field is moving pretty fast. Google announced improvements to their generative AI models, which are both impressive and sloppy at the same time. We also look at new AI-based landscape masking tools in Lightroom, speculate on what WWDC could bring to Apple's Photo app, and more.

HT2273 - Why You Made the Photograph Every image you finish was completed because of some purpose you had in mind. You have chosen to share something you feel is important enough to photograph and work into a finished project or framed image. Why? Doesn't it make sense that somehow that intent needs to be shared with viewers? We are all so bombarded with images these days that they are far too easily ignored unless we have a strong motivation for spending time with them. Why you made the photograph is more important now than ever. Show your appreciation for our free weekly Podcast and our free daily Here's a Thought… with a donation Thanks!

#567 Allie Siarto is a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in East Lansing, Michigan, and host of the Photo Field Notes podcast. The episode is a deep dive into the importance of creating a world-class experience for portrait clients, a factor Allie emphasizes as crucial for building client loyalty and generating referrals in the photography business. Through engaging stories and clear advice, Allie illustrates how exceptional service, thoughtful preparation, and emotional connections often outweigh technical perfection in client satisfaction.KEY TOPICS COVEREDThe Power of Client Experience Over Technical Perfection - Allie explains that while technical skill is important, the client's emotional experience during the shoot has a greater impact on their satisfaction. Providing guidance, being prepared, and making clients comfortable often leads to higher perceived value and greater word-of-mouth referrals.Practical Steps for Improving Client Experience - Major points include communicating proactively (e.g., style guides, prep emails), planning for logistics (like family lists and timeline management), dressing professionally, and using prompts to create genuine moments. Real-world examples such as helping clients find venues or ensuring parents feel included underscore how small efforts make a big difference.Continuous Learning and Reflection - Allie shares her own learning curve, including mistakes (like not asking parents if they wanted more photos), and details how she implements those lessons to continually improve. The importance of treating early years in business as an extension of education is highlighted, encouraging listeners to seek feedback and view setbacks as opportunities.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSClient Experience: The cumulative impressions and feelings that clients have throughout their interactions with a photographer, from initial inquiry to final image delivery. Ensuring a positive client experience can be a greater predictor of success and referrals than technical image quality alone.Unposed Posing: A posing style that uses prompts and interactive questions to evoke natural expressions and genuine emotion, rather than traditional, static posing. This approach helps even uncomfortable clients relax, leading to more authentic and memorable images.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow do you currently manage the experience of your clients before, during, and after a shoot? What areas can you improve based on Allie's advice?Think about a time you had a remarkable or disappointing service experience (outside of photography). What specific factors made the difference, and how can you apply those lessons to your photography business?RESOURCES:Visit Allie Siarto's Website - http://alliesiarto.com/Follow Allie Siarto on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/alliesiarto/Grab your free 52 Lightroom Presets athttp://freephotographypresets.com/ Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

HT2272 - Black and White Is Almost Never Black and White Nothing in a photograph is quite so bothersome as when the black are crushed or the whites are blown out. I can understand in certain occasions when this is a desired aesthetic, but those are rare occasions. When we see it in a picture, it almost always seems to be a processing mistake. I find it's most often the result of bad monitor calibration. Show your appreciation for our free weekly Podcast and our free daily Here's a Thought… with a donation Thanks!

HT2271 - Working a Location for Its Subtleties Every the time we stop our travels, get out of the car, and start looking for photographs, there will inevitably be a few that are easy, immediate, obvious, and likely cliché. I've come to accept the fact that I have to shoot those images — even though I will probably never use them — just to get them out of the way and move past them. It's only then that I can start working a location for its subtleties. Show your appreciation for our free weekly Podcast and our free daily Here's a Thought… with a donation Thanks!

#566 In this episode of the podcast, I explore how photography can be a powerful tool for self-discovery—not just a way to create beautiful images or chase technical perfection. I share my belief that the most meaningful photos aren't always the ones that earn the most likes or comments. Instead, our true value as photographers comes from how honestly we depict our lives and the world around us. KEY TOPICS COVEREDPhotography as Self-Discovery - Raymond explains that photography is more than just technical skill or visual appeal—it's a tool for self-exploration. The choices you make behind the camera act as a "mirror," revealing your interests, values, and the way you see the world.The Mirror and the Megaphone Metaphor - The “mirror” captures your authentic, unfiltered truth, while the “megaphone” amplifies what you choose to share with the world—curated, staged, or idealized moments. The real magic happens when your megaphone projects your mirror's truth.Practical Ways to Shoot Authentically - Raymond recommends concrete strategies, like setting reminders to document ordinary scenes (e.g., your fridge, messy rooms) to foster honesty in your work. He challenges listeners to photograph something honest, unpolished, and meaningful—if only for themselves.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSMirror: The aspect of photography that reflects your true self—your interests, emotions, and what you naturally notice. It's about authenticity.Megaphone: The way you present or share your images, shaping how your story is told to others. This can be more curated or staged but is most powerful when aligned with your mirror.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSWhat do your everyday photo choices reveal about you?Have you ever felt pressure to shoot for an audience instead of for yourself?How can you begin to capture more authentic and honest moments in your daily life?Grab your free 52 Lightroom Presets athttp://freephotographypresets.com/Connect with Raymond!

HT2270 - Beyond the Circle of Our Fellow Photographers One of my lifelong regrets about photography has been that the audience for most fine art photography, particularly for contemporary photographers, are other photographers.

This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,001, May 27, 2025. Today's theme is, "Half Digital, Half Analog - The Fujifilm X half Review." I'm Derrick Story. Opening Monologue 2025 is establishing itself as the year of the creative camera. We started with the Sigma BF, then Fujifilm GFX100RF, and now the Fujifilm X half. Nothing boring in this lot! And whether or not you decide to purchase the new X half, you're bound to appreciate the thought that went in to it. I'll share my highlights in today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

Brad shares about his trip to Terranceville with main targets being warblers and songbirds and how he did using both the 500mm and 100-400mm lenses. We talk about taking breaks from shooting the same thing and what to do to keep things fresh when you do shoot the same thing. Next I share about time in the Hilton Head marshes with Emilie. I also talk about how the Nikon Z9/Z8 are focusing betting for birds using the animal setting and playing around with a new 2x teleconverter. Then I share about the last part of my trip to Florida to photograph birds in and underwater. We wrap up the show answering a question from Michael Dreese about committing to a unique or different lens on a shoot instead of trying multiple. Travels and Wildlife Photography episode from Ray and Emilie about Florida Springs   Photos talked about on the show can be viewed on the podcast page

Mike Irish is his actual name. Welcome to my episode with the current (it no longer works to say “new”) owner of one of my favorite places in San Francisco—Emmy's Spaghetti Shack. I'm not sure where to begin, but I suppose a sprinkle of backstory can't hurt. Back in 2022, I recorded an episode with Emmy Kaplan, then the owner and forever the founder of Emmy's. It was a fun interview, and through that chat with Emmy, we discovered that we had been across-the-street neighbors in the Mission back in the early 2000s. Fast-forward to summer 2024 when I applied to be on KQED's Check Please! Bay Area and rated Emmy's as my No. 1 pick among the three spots I proposed. Then a funny thing happened—before we shot the Check Please episode, Emmy sold her restaurant to one of the bartenders at the place—Mike Irish. That brings us to this episode. From the first time Erin and I met Mike at the bar at Emmy's, I knew I liked the dude. Now let's get to know Mike together as he approaches the one-year mark of owning his first restaurant, an SF institution. Mike was born in Houston, but he didn't stay there long. His dad ran catering trucks for restaurants, and soon moved around bit before settling in Arizona, in the Phoenix area, where Mike mostly grew up. He came of age in the late-Nineties/early 2000s. Being in Arizona, Mike tells us some of the things about life there that he just considered normal, things like wearing oven mitts to get into your car in the summer. It was hot, but swimming pools were easy to find. Sports was pretty central to young Mike's life. He played basketball, baseball, soccer, and other sports. His dad coached some of the teams he was on. He was a good kid. Basketball took over, eventually. He looked up to local players, especially Charles Barkley, whose number Mike shaved into his head. But after a couple years playing in high school, basketball started to fade and was replaced by theater and drama. Looking back, he calls it a “hard turn,” but we both recognize the plasticity of that age—the teen years. In his drama classes, Mike gravitated toward writing. He played guitar and wrote songs. He wrote a play for his school. All that young talent and creativity led to Mike and his friends making movies. He was also in bands playing mostly folk music. With all this going on, he met his first girlfriend. They dated briefly, didn't talk for 20 years years, and today are married. But we'll get to that later. Mike graduated from high school and went to New York City for college pretty much right away. He had visited NYC once before and liked it. He got into film school there, beginning a journey that lasted until three years ago or so. And so, for nearly 20 years, Mike Irish existed as a filmmaker in New York City. The school and his place were both in Manhattan. When he first arrived, he knew one guy from a band they'd both been in, and Mike was grateful for that. But of course they didn't become close in their new hometown, as they attended different schools and made new friends. Mike made student films, and kept going after he graduated. To survive and pay rent, he started bartending, something that, later in life, would prove crucial to where he is today. I ask him to name-drop some of the bars in New York where he worked. He rattles off several, then summarizes by saying he worked at possibly 50 different sports in NYC. We talk about the films he made over that almost two-decade span. Some won awards, both domestically and internationally. The most highly acclaimed of his movies was The Life of Significant Soil, which Mike says he's seen being played on airplanes. Another movie, Permanent Collection, premiered in San Francisco at the Roxie. Mike came out here for that and stayed for a week. That was February 2020, weeks before COVID shut The City and the world down. Going back to his first girlfriend, whom Mike had met in high school, she already lived in San Francisco. They had lost touch over the years. But she noticed his name on a movie showing at The Roxie and came out to the premiere. A reconnection was made, but Mike returned home to New York after that week. Still, the two kept in touch. Once it was possible, one would fly out to be with the other, either in New York or here in San Francisco. That eventually gave way to Mike's decision to move to The City. Check back next week for Part 2 and the conclusion of our episode about Mike Irish.

HT2269 - 3400 Pixels on the Long Side There is still some confusion about file sizes that pops up from time to time. I remember magazines saying that they required a 15 megabyte file. That's a meaningless measurement that depends on the image compression. I'll occasionally get a question about what the PPI should be for submissions to LensWork. That, too, is a meaningless measurement. What counts is the pixel dimensions of the image, assuming that it hasn't been up-rezed.

LW1455 - The Powerful Seduction of Representationalism The other day I spent about 40 minutes working on one of the new captures from Eastern Oregon. I converted it to a black and white, dealt with the delicate issues of balancing lights and darks, fussed and tweaked until I felt I had an interesting and artistic rendition of the scene that was an accurate vision of my response. The first comment I received from one of the family members was that she preferred the color image, before I had done any processing at all. This is the core of a huge dilemma in fine art photography. Sometimes our objective for making a photograph (artistic expression) is not at all what our viewers' expectations are (representationalism).

HT2268 - Our Memory is Not Always Reliable As photographers, our memory of the place or the moment we photographed can cloud what we remember about the images or projects we made there.

HT2267 - Cameras Don't Make Pictures, but They Do Make Pictures Possible I've been photographing this week in eastern Oregon. I've been here so often, I shouldn't need to return. This time, however, I'm here with a digital camera and a long lens and the combination has allowed me to make images I've wanted to for decades but couldn't accomplish with a view camera. For example, so far I have at least a dozen long-form panoramas, the longest of which will print to 12-inches by 6-feet. Now I just need to figure out how I'm going to display them.

HT2266 - The Exotic Cliché It's always an adventure to photograph in an iconic location. But let's be honest, how much of an accomplishment is it to make a photograph that looks like thousands of others? I remember being stunned by the number of people at the Zabriskie Point overlook, so many that they've paved the walkway to the overlook to accommodate the masses. I didn't walk up there, but I did use the Port-a-Pottie in the parking lot. Show your appreciation for our free weekly Podcast and our free daily Here's a Thought… with a donation Thanks!

HT2265 - The Non-Exotic Location Anyone can go to Yosemite and make an impressive photo because Yosemite itself is impressive. In fact, you have to work at it to make a bad photograph in Yosemite. I find that kind of photography fun and even rewarding — but not much of a challenge. As an artist who wants to progress in the creative life, I find it much more useful to challenge myself with images from non-exotic locations that require more effort to see creatively.

HT2264 - Why I Dislike Guidebooks I understand that as tourists there are things we must see in order to have the full tourist experience. As artists, however, isn't our challenge to see, experience, and interpret the world with our own response? For me, the act of discovery is the core of the art life, not the successfully completed checklist of pre-digested aesthetic tautologies.
