Podcasts about photography gear

#574 In this episode of the podcast, I got brutally honest about an uncomfortable truth many photographers—myself included—often avoid: believing new gear will instantly make us better photographers. I dove into why so many of us, at some point, fixate on the idea that lack of equipment stands between us and the images we want to create. Drawing from my own experiences—like nearly convincing myself to buy a $7,500 Fujifilm GFX100 medium format camera after I left wedding photography—I shared how easy it is to fall into the "gear will fix it" trap, when what I really needed was to spend more time shooting.I challenged listeners (and myself) to rekindle excitement by using the equipment we already own. Whether that's taking a “camera date” or giving ourselves quirky creative assignments, the goal is to reconnect with the fun and freedom of shooting—without the pressure of perfection or the itch for an upgrade.KEY TOPICS COVEREDThe Gear Myth and Creative Ruts - Raymond explains how photographers often blame their uninspiring work on having outdated or entry-level gear. He shares his own experience almost buying an expensive Fujifilm GFX100, only to realize his creative rut was due to not shooting, not his equipment.What Really Makes a Great Photo? - Instead of megapixels and advanced specs, Raymond outlines the four essential elements of great photography: moment, light, composition, and exposure. He likens the camera to a toaster—it's the photographer's decisions that determine the quality of the image.Practical Steps for Rekindling Creativity - To break out of gear-focused thinking, Raymond suggests simple exercises like going on a “camera date” with the least-used gear or imposing creative constraints. He also stresses the value of learning manual mode and studying light and composition.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTS• Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS): The compulsion to buy new cameras or lenses as a solution to creative blocks or skill limitations; often a distraction from the real means of improvement.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSThink back to your favorite photo you've taken—what role did your gear actually play in the outcome?Have you ever felt creatively stagnant and blamed your equipment? What actions could you take instead?What are some ways you can challenge yourself to see new possibilities with the gear you already own?Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

What are the best tools for photography? I spend a lot of time talking about what the reviewers say. If you listen, they will have you believe that the best gear is the gear that has the highest megapixels, the things that will produce the sharpest image quality, the best colors—that sort of thing. I've long argued against this, saying that, in most cases, these costly items are overkill. The megapixels and incredibly sharp resolutions are a wasteful investment when you consider that the average photographer will never produce the billboard-sized prints these devices are designed for...

She recounts how her early influences growing up in France and her father's passion for wildlife photography shaped her artistic vision, even before she picked up a camera in her twenties. Valerie's evolution from shooting wildlife and family portraits to running a commercial studio, and finally transitioning to street photography, offers listeners valuable lessons on adaptability and following creative passions.KEY TOPICS COVEREDNavigating the Photographer's Journey - Valerie shares her gradual shift from wildlife and portrait work to full-time street photography, emphasizing experimentation and personal projects as core to discovering one's true passion.Cultivating Photographic Vision - She explains why vision trumps technical perfection, advocating for real-world practice, making creative choices in-camera, and learning to see the world through a photographic lens.Street Photography Practice—Ethics, Legality, and Approach - Valerie clarifies misconceptions around street photography, covers ethical/legal aspects, shares tips on gear (favoring lightweight, unobtrusive cameras), and highlights the value of patience and discernment while shooting.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSPhotographic Vision: The distinctive way a photographer perceives and interprets scenes, fundamental for creating impactful images.Street Photography: The art of candidly documenting everyday life in public spaces, focusing on story and context rather than posed shots.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow has Valerie's career evolution influenced your perspective on trying different photography genres?What are simple exercises you can do to sharpen your photographic vision?How do you interpret the ethical responsibility of photographing strangers in public?How might simplifying your gear impact your style or results?RESOURCES:Visit Valerie Jardin's Website - https://www.valeriejardinphotography.com/Follow Valerie Jardin on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/valeriejardin/Hit the Streets Podcast - https://www.valeriejardinphotography.com/podcastSign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

#570 In Today's Episode of the podcast I chat with YOU as I tackle a wide range of listener questions covering every stage of the photography journey. I respond directly to your real-world concerns, offering practical advice and personal insights on topics like preparing for photography trips, finding and owning your unique editing style, breaking into specialized fields such as wedding or food photography, and building a sustainable photography business even when time and energy are limited.KEY TOPICS COVEREDTrip Preparation & Gear Selection - Raymond breaks down how to plan a photography trip, using Alaska as an example. He stresses focusing on desired shots first, packing only essential gear, planning for power and backup needs, and not letting equipment overshadow the enjoyment of the trip.Finding & Owning Your Editing Style - A listener asks about confidence in a "purposefully imperfect" editing style. Raymond encourages embracing what moves you emotionally rather than succumbing to trends. Authenticity, he argues, attracts the right audience and sustains creative motivation.Building a Photography Business with Limitations - Addressing questions about starting (or sustaining) a business with limited time or neurodivergence, Raymond offers practical marketing strategies, including leveraging local business partnerships, automating social media, and focusing on core client beliefs. IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSExposure Compensation: Adjusts camera-determined exposure in automatic or semi-automatic shooting modes to lighten or darken images without switching to full manual mode. Essential for managing tricky lighting situations and achieving desired creative effects.Macro Lens: A lens designed for close-up photography that allows for high magnification and sharpness at very close focusing distances, ideal for genres like food photography.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSWhat personal moments or subjects are most important for you to capture on a photography trip, and how might your gear choices support that?How can you refine your editing style to better reflect your personal taste or storytelling goals?If you were to market your photography business, what unique value or emotional connection would you offer your ideal client?How might you balance career ambitions with personal well-being or time constraints?RESOURCES:Check out the food photography channel: Tin House StudioSocial media scheduling tools: SocialBee, Buffer, Hootsuite, and PlanolySign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

#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!

Mastering pet photography is an art that involves much more than just a camera and a cute subject. Laurie Elmer and Knicki Knowlton of Urban Dog Studio have crafted an engaging podcast episode that guides pet lovers through the magic of utilizing light to create stunning pet portraits. This episode is a goldmine for pet owners looking to immortalize their furry friends in photographs that are not just memorable but emotionally captivating.Light is a crucial element in photography, shaping the mood and atmosphere of every shot. Understanding how to work with different lighting conditions can transform a simple pet photo into a masterpiece. The podcast episode begins by highlighting the significance of light and its impact on photography. It addresses common issues such as the harsh midday glare, and why the soft, warm glow of the golden hour is a photographer's dream.Laurie and Knicki offer practical advice that can be applied using any camera, from smartphones to professional DSLRs. They discuss how the direction and quality of light can drastically change the outcome of a photo. For example, placing a subject under a tree might seem like a good idea for a shade, but the uneven dappled light can create unflattering hot spots. Instead, they suggest positioning subjects in open light with a dappled background to achieve a balanced exposure.The episode is not just about instruction; it's about inspiring listeners to experiment with their pets and cameras. The hosts encourage their audience to step outside and play with natural light, capturing emotions and moments without the safety net of editing software. This approach promotes a deeper understanding of photography and the satisfaction of achieving beautiful results in-camera.This episode on pet photography is more than a tutorial; it's an invitation to view the world through a different light, literally and figuratively. By mastering the use of light, pet owners can produce images that not only showcase the beauty of their pets but also convey the bond and affection they share and a newfound appreciation for the art of pet photography.https://www.urbandogstudio.com/See photo example here:https://www.urbandogstudio.com/lets-bark-about-it-tampa-bay/2wjjvikaqmoaxdlf347r3us5ehb1j2Tampa Bay realtor and Dog Lover Leslie Haas Realty One Group Sunshine https://tampabayhomesforsale.realestate Art for Profit's Sake podcast-Discussions with artists at different stages of their business.

I don't know which camera to buy.Is this lens worth the cost?Should I go for flash or continuous lights?Deciding on which camera equipment to buy is never easy. It almost always comes down to our budget and whether it's worth the investment. Have you ever bought a piece of gear and found that it wasn't really worth buying, didn't improve your photography or was too inconvenient to use? We've all spent money on equipment we didn't really need & we've all dreamt of certain equipment we wish we had in our collection. Photography is an expensive craft and we need to be extremely careful where we invest.In this week's podcast episode, I'll share one of the best ways to save time and money while investing in photography equipment. Sometimes we wish to upgrade our gear, sometimes we need to replace it and sometimes we are intrigued by a new technology in the market.If we can strengthen our selection process, it can actually save us dollars but also headache, frustration and stress.Here's a simple practice, no matter which stage of the creative journey you're in, that can be a huge game-changer in our photography investment and skills improvement. The photography equipment we own depends a lot on our personal preferences, our workflow and the kind of work we create either for ourselves or for our clients. It takes many factors for a certain equipment to work for us and take our skills to the next level. One wrong choice can set us back hundreds and thousands of dollars. It can also set us back in our confidence and in feeling skillful - that's how important it is to make our equipment choice wisely. There is a way for us to make an informed decision which has a 100% guarantee of working for us. If you're wondering if that's really possible, I want to tell you, it absolutely is.Spend your money on the right equipment, save the headache of decision-making & become a more skillful photographer in the process. Read more at https://myfoodlens.com Follow Dyutima on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/dyutima_myfoodlens/Show notes available at  https://myfoodlens.com/76-how-to-save-time-money-when-investing-in-photography-gear/Download free guide and workbook The 10-step photoshoot https://myfoodlens.com/the-10-step-photoshoot-guide/Write that pitch https://myfoodlens.ck.page/writethatpitch

Audrey and I bring you a down-to-earth chat about the practical approach to photography equipment and what we bring to our lifestyle, branding, and wedding shoots. It's not just about the camera. We underline the necessity of having not only a primary but also a backup camera, spare batteries, SD cards, a charger, and a few unexpected essentials. You'll hear why we always have a fanny pack, scissors, a family list, a timeline, and of course, snacks at hand. Plus, we shed light on why our camera bag is our constant companion and the significance of being ready for any curveball.Curiosity piqued about our gear choices? We delve into our proven tools and discuss why they are our go-to picks. From choosing the right camera strap to the advantage of using a rolling bag for flights - we lay bare our personal preferences. Audrey even explains why she remains loyal to the DSLR camera in the sea of mirrorless options. It's all about discovering what suits you best and not falling prey to materialism or commercial hype. So, buckle up, whether you're a veteran photographer or a newbie, there are nuggets of wisdom waiting for you in this episode.Key Takeaways0:00 - Equipment and Approach to Photography12:38 - Photography Gear and PreferencesMemorable Quotes"It's not about having the latest and greatest gear; it's about finding what works best for you and your unique shooting style.""I'm so glad that you were the mentor that I like first found, because you instilled in me this feeling of like it's all fine, it's not a big deal, just come prepared, you're great, like you don't have to do the most and be so extra.""Don't let the consumerism fool you.

178 - Do you know what the biggest difference between DSLR and mirrorless is? There's no mirror!Ummmm … duh, Nicole. That's why they call it "mirror-less."  But really, when you make the switch to mirrorless, you might even be holding your shutter release button down and thinking the whole time "I got a lemon!
