She shares her methods for developing her style organically and offers insight into the value of authenticity and daily practice.

In this week's episode of the Camera Shake Podcast, I'm joined by renowned boudoir photographer Edi Roque to explore how intimate portraiture can be a powerful tool for building confidence. Edi opens up about his journey from music to photography, and how his creative background shapes the way he empowers clients through authentic and emotionally resonant boudoir sessions.We dive deep into the art of connecting with your subject, creating a safe space, and encouraging vulnerability that leads to self-acceptance. Edi shares his approach to posing, client communication, and how he captures portraits that go far beyond aesthetics—images that transform how people see themselves.Whether you're an aspiring boudoir photographer, a working professional, or someone looking to find deeper meaning in your photography, this episode delivers real insights and inspiration.

Today, an episode where I walk with my guest along the paths of Greenham Common in Berkshire, England. We explore how photography, adventure, and purpose can align to become one path. Photographer Tom Warburton retired early and, rather than settle into a slower pace, decided to walk the length of the River Ganges, over 1,100 kilometres from the glacier source in the Himalayas to its confluence with the Yamuna near Prayagraj. It was a journey fuelled by curiosity, a love of walking, a desire to see life away from the main roads, and to photograph people and culture with care and respect. Tom had long held an interest in photography, but like many, life's other responsibilities often came first. So with time finally on his side, he went in search of something deeper, not just images, but understanding. The result? A slow, human journey through rural villages, pilgrimage sites, nature reserves, and towns where he was often the only outsider for miles. In today's episode, we walk and talk about what it means to truly travel with intention, to go off the beaten path, to connect with strangers, and to find portraits in moments where trust is built, not taken. This is a story of walking for photography, walking for perspective, and walking, quite simply, for the love of the road. As the walk draws to a close, Tom arrives in Prayagraj just as the Maha Kumbh Mela begins, a once-in-144-years gathering of extraordinary scale and spirit. On the biggest days, over 40 million people converge: sadhus, pilgrims, Naga ascetics, all drawn to the sacred waters where the Ganges and Yamuna meet. And there's Tom, camera in hand, somehow slipping through the crowds and into the press areas, ready to capture it all. Links to all guests and features will be on the show page, my sincere thanks to Arthelper, who sponsor this show, plus our Extra Milers, without whom we wouldn't be walking each week.

#560 In this special “Workshop Episode” of the podcast, I, Raymond Hatfield, share my thoughts and experiences fresh off hosting our very first in-person workshop in Chicago. After nine years of connecting with listeners online, I finally brought together members of our community for a full day focused on photography, education, and camaraderie. This episode is a personal reflection on how meaningful it was to see faces behind the names, and why getting together in person can be a game-changer for learning and growth.KEY TOPICS COVEREDThe Power of In-Person Workshops - Bringing listeners together in Chicago broke down the walls of digital connection. Everyone experienced firsthand how learning alongside others, asking questions in real time, and building bonds can accelerate growth in ways online learning rarely can. I saw people relax, open up, and walk away with real friendships and new confidence.Foundational Skills: Light, Composition, and Camera Settings - I designed the content to help both beginners and experienced photographers by focusing on the essentials—how to use your camera, how to “see” light, and how to compose compelling images. I shared personal images, good and bad, to spark discussion, and guided everyone through hands-on practice, including a photo walk with a model.Streamlining Editing with Imagen AI - I talked about my early struggles with editing and how it almost made me quit at the start. Now, with tools like Imagen AI—which learns your editing style and speeds up post-processing—I can spend more time doing what I love: shooting. The workshop gave attendees hands-on exposure to this workflow, empowering them to consider new tech solutions to old challenges.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTS“Getting it Right in Camera”: For me (and now for Kim!), this means achieving the look I want straight out of the camera, not just aiming for the “perfect” exposure meter reading. It's about matching your image to your style and not being afraid to shoot for your own vision.Quality of Light: Quality isn't just about how bright the light is; it's about its softness, direction, and how it shapes your subject. Understanding and controlling these qualities, even when using flashes or dealing with tough outdoor light, can level up any photo.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow have your experiences learning photography in person differed from learning online?What does “getting it right in camera” mean for your own style, and how do you apply this when shooting?Can you share a breakthrough moment you've had with light or composition?What's your biggest editing headache, and could something like Imagen AI help you enjoy photography more?RESOURCES:Check out Imagen AI - beginnerphotopod.com/imagen See Behind-the-Scenes Workshop Photos  - https://adobe.ly/44oOIxeSign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

From working in a darkroom in her family's attic to travelling the world shooting weddings and street photography, Dom's creative journey has been fuelled by a love of authenticity and connection.She shares the importance of staying true to your photographic voice, even when commercial pressures threaten to pull you in other directions. Angela and Dom also discuss Is This Something?, the inspirational book Dom co-wrote with her brother Liam, aimed at helping photographers capture meaningful, spontaneous images rather than posed perfection.Throughout the conversation, Dom offers heartfelt advice on trusting your instincts, photographing real relationships and keeping creativity alive throughout a busy career. Whether you are just starting out or have years of experience behind the lens, Dom's passion and wisdom will leave you feeling inspired to seek the extraordinary in the ordinary.TakeawaysSmall moments often carry the deepest emotional weight — learning to spot them is key to meaningful photography.Authenticity matters more than technical perfection; real, heartfelt images resonate the most.Developing a clear creative vision helps you stay true to yourself even under commercial pressure.Composition is a vital storytelling tool — strong framing can transform an ordinary scene into something magical.Success comes from persistence and passion, not from chasing trends or perfection.Photography is not about capturing what looks good, but about preserving what feels true.Connect with DomWebsiteFacebookInstagramBookFujifilmThis podcast is supported by Fujifilm, one of the best-known photography brands in the world.

In this special extended episode, I spend the day with my good friend, documentary photographer Giles Penfound, once the head of photography for the British Army, now a passionate ambassador for the slower, more intentional world of film photography. We're in the darkroom together, where Giles takes the film I shot recently in India and brings it to life. If you've ever wondered what really goes on in that red-lit sanctuary, or what it means to wait, to watch, and to witness an image slowly emerge from nothing, this one's for you. Even if you've never stepped into a darkroom, there's something in this about patience, process, and friendship that I hope might just land with you. It's part workshop, part fireside chat, and at times it gets deeply personal. Over a cooked breakfast in a feature I call In the Fryer, I ask Giles some tougher questions, the kind you only ask a friend you trust, and the kind that lead to answers you don't always expect. This is a story about time and about why film photography, with all its waiting and wonder, still has something powerful to teach us in a world that wants everything now.

Send us a textThe focal length you use to take a photo will significantly affect the photo you create. It will determine what is in a photo, what is not in a photo, how small or large the elements of the photo are, and how the elements in your photo relate to each other. The focal length you use will also determine the depth of field, or as I like to call it, depth of sharpness, that there is in a photo. So, if you want to learn how to use focal length to create better compositions, listen on. In this episode, I tell you this little lot. What is the focal length in photography? Focal lengths explained quickly.Crop factors explained quickly.What does this all mean?Composition and focal length.Depth of field, perspective, and focal length.Some things that you can do – yes, you, dear listenerI also tell youWhat if you use a phone to take photos What I doHow you can ask me a questionAnd a little bit about me.All explained in plain English, without the irrelevant detail, in (much) less than 27 (ish) minutes! What is not to love?

Opening Monologue The last time I bought a MacBook Air was over a decade ago.

Fast forward to 2025 and a substantial update to a 13" M4 Air. Why am I doing this? Find out on today's TDS Photography Podcast.

What kind of person looks at the world's tallest mountain, a frozen, oxygen-starved, avalanche-prone giant and thinks, “Yeah, I'll have a go at that?” Tim Kington, a photographer and adventure seeker with a dream to stand atop the world, took on Everest, facing brutal conditions where the air is too thin to breathe, the temperatures can freeze flesh, and every step is a fight against nature itself. In this episode, I talk to Tim about what it takes to climb Everest, the reality of the so-called Death Zone, and why, despite the dangers, thousands still attempt to reach the summit—some making history, others becoming part of the mountain forever.

Stephanie is the founder of the ICM Photography Magazine, a digital publication dedicated to showcasing creative work, and she also leads workshops across the UK and US.  Stephanie's journey into photography began 30 years ago with a film SLR in Okinawa, Japan, but it wasn't until a transformative trip to Ireland in 2015 that she rediscovered her passion. Following a challenging period in her personal life, Stephanie turned to photography to reconnect with her creative self. It was during this time that she discovered ICM, a technique that aligned perfectly with her artistic vision and deep connection to the landscape.  Throughout the conversation, Stephanie shares the joys and challenges of mastering ICM, a technique that relies on movement, intuition, and experimentation.
