I loved this conversation with Ethan Harold because he is such a great example of what can happen when you finally stop trying to photograph everything and decide to become known for one thing.Ethan founded Colorado Maternity Photography in 2019 after years of photographing landscapes, commercial work, and editorial images. Today, he specializes in fine art maternity photography in Denver—and has built a premium business around it.In our conversation, we talk about:Why niching down can actually mean more opportunities—and more moneyHow Ethan uses the built-in urgency of pregnancy to sell premium photographyWhy your ideal clients need to fall in love with your work before they worry about priceHow he handles being a male photographer in a mostly female industryThe simple change to his inquiry form that increased his booking conversion by 20%I especially loved talking about the idea that choosing a niche doesn't mean giving up everything else you love. Sometimes it's simply about deciding what you want to be known for.If you've been trying to figure out your specialty—or wondering if specializing could help you build a more profitable photography business—I think Ethan's story will give you a lot to think about.More info here: https://coloradomaternity.com/Connect with Photography Business Coach Luci Dumas: Website Email: luci@lucidumas.comInstagram FacebookYouTubeNew episodes drop every week — make sure to subscribe so you never miss an inspiring guest or a powerful solo episode designed to help you grow your photography business.

Chirurgienne, éditeur, patineuse, pâtissier… Leurs parcours singuliers racontent la France d'aujourd'hui, riche de ses talents et de ses diversités, et leurs portraits sont autant de modèles pour les générations futures. Né(e)s ici ou venu(e)s d'ailleurs, ces femmes et ces hommes inspirent par leur engagement et leur réussite. Dans ce dernier épisode, Valérie Senghor, 54 ans, est à la tête du Centquatre-Paris, un établissement culturel de la Ville de Paris situé dans le 19e arrondissement de la capitale. Très discrète sur ses origines, elle est l'arrière petite-nièce du célèbre poète et chef d'État Léopold Sédar Senghor.  Elle s'appelle Valérie Senghor comme l'homme d'État, poète et écrivain sénégalais Léopold Sédar Senghor : « C'était mon grand oncle paternel. Le frère de mon grand-père paternel. Je l'ai connu à la fin de sa vie », confie celle-ci, qui n'en dira pas plus sur cet homme illustre. Et l'héritage généalogique de Valérie Senghor, pudique et très discrète sur le sujet, ne s'arrête pas là puisque son père était, lui, le célèbre cinéaste et diplomate Blaise Senghor. « Je suis particulièrement heureuse de reprendre et de poursuivre cette trajectoire au service de l'art et de la culture avec ce double héritage, celui de mon grand-oncle paternel et celui, plus direct, de mon père qui était un homme de culture, un cinéaste et qui a beaucoup œuvré à la mise en place de systèmes de production et de diffusion du cinéma au Sénégal. Il était également le représentant permanent du Sénégal auprès de l'Unesco », reprend-t-elle. Dans les pas de ses illustres parents, Valérie Senghor, 54 ans, dirige depuis novembre 2025 le Centquatre dont elle a accompagné le lancement. Ayant aussi contribué à son développement, elle en connaît l'histoire sur le bout des doigts : « Là, vous voyez, c'est le clocher. Il ne fonctionne plus aujourd'hui, lance-t-elle dans un sourire. D'ailleurs, peu de Parisiens connaissent sa fonction première. Le Centquatre était historiquement le siège des pompes funèbres de la Ville de Paris, un lieu inscrit aux Monuments historiques où étaient fabriqués les cercueils, les ornements funéraires et où était centralisée toute la logistique pour les convois des défunts de toute la capitale ». Quand elle en parle, ses yeux s'illuminent, elle est intarissable Atypique et pluridisciplinaire, le Centquatre-Paris est aussi un lieu de liberté, d'ouverture sur la ville et d'émancipation pour ceux qui s'accaparent les espaces pour pratiquer toutes sortes d'arts. « On voit autant les danseurs que les jongleurs qui viennent spontanément pour les répétitions et comme vous l'avez vu, nous ne les connaissons pas ». Mais ne comptez pas sur elle pour revendiquer une origine. Elle n'aime pas non plus qu'on l'associe uniquement à une couleur de peau. « J'ai eu l'opportunité, ces dernières années, de travailler pendant six ans au sein du Centre des monuments nationaux. J'ai aussi eu la chance d'occuper des fonctions au sein du ministère de l'Europe et des Affaires étrangères. J'ai accompagné le lancement et le développement du Centquatre pendant plus de dix ans et j'ai été la directrice adjointe du Centquatre de 2016 à 2018. Donc j'ose croire que c'est ce parcours et cette expérience qui ont amené la Ville de Paris à s'intéresser à ma candidature », affirme celle-ci. Valérie Senghor s'appuie sur ce parcours pour innover et pour proposer un programme éclectique. Avec, à l'affiche pour la saison 2026-2027, plusieurs festivals qui mettent en résonance des récits, des architectures et des œuvres d'art.

Here's a Thought… #2711 with Brooks Jensen One Kind of Photography You know that old business about what books you would want with you on a desert island? Just for fun, if you could only make one kind of photograph for the rest of your life, what would you choose? Landscapes? Portraits? Still life? Wildlife? I think I'd choose abstracts. I could make abstracts anywhere, anytime, with any subjects, with any camera, in any light, at any size, for any purpose.

Chirurgienne, patineuse, éditeur, pâtissier, leurs parcours singuliers racontent la France d'aujourd'hui, riche de ses talents et de ses diversités. Né(e)s ici ou venus d'ailleurs, ces femmes et ces hommes inspirent par leur engagement et leur réussite. Leurs portraits sont autant de modèles pour les générations futures. Dans ce quatrième épisode, le Gabonais Christian-Brice Ondo nous raconte comment à 51 ans il mène une carrière d'éditeur. Depuis 2021, il dirige sa propre maison d'édition, Obangame. À taille humaine. Sa particularité : éditer ses « coups de cœur » et surtout donner de la visibilité aux auteurs afro-descendants. Lunettes rivées sur le nez, cheveux coupés à ras, surtout ne vous plongez pas dans son regard qui dissimule un passé douloureux : « À trois mois, j'ai failli mourir à la naissance, lance-t-il de manière inattendue. J'ai eu une maladie très rare, j'avais des bassines de pus dans les poumons, donc pour me soigner j'ai été évacué très tôt en France. À chaque fois que je croisais des tantes ou des oncles, je ne comprenais pas pourquoi ils lançaient sur mon passage : Ah ! Voici le miraculé, il a failli mourir ». « Un enfant miraculé ! » dans le monde de l'édition À 51 ans, le Gabonais, Christian-Brice Ondo, avant d'embrasser le monde de l'édition, a eu une première vie : « Avec mon frère, on avait monté une maison de production pour réaliser des documentaires. Et j'ai rencontré l'éditeur camerounais Dieudonné Gnammankou, à la tête de Dagan éditions, il faisait la promotion d'une bande dessinée dédiée au célèbre footballeur Samuel Eto'o. J'ai eu un véritable coup de cœur pour cet homme qui est également historien ». Les coups de cœur et les coups de foudre semblent rythmer sa vie, c'est l'un des traits de la personnalité de Christian-Brice Ondo. Après sa rencontre avec l'éditeur et historien Dieudonné Gnammankou, il crée à taille humaine sa propre maison d'édition Obangame, en 2021. Obangame signifie en langue fon du Gabon : solidarité indéfectible. « Donc, à travers ce nom-là, j'ai voulu créer des liens entre les cultures à travers la littérature, en fait, c'est la touche un peu africaine de la maison d'édition », explique-t-il.  Donner de la visibilité aux auteurs afro-descendants Pour Christian-Brice Ondo, les auteurs africains, de manière générale, manquent de visibilité. « Ceux qui ont du talent, c'est très rare qu'on les publie dans les maisons d'édition traditionnelles, regrette-t-il. Il y en a quelques-uns qui réussissent à se faire éditer. Donc, je me suis dit pourquoi ne pas donner la chance à ces talents car il y a une forte demande également. Il y a en effet une diaspora noire, française et africaine qui vit à Paris. Paris, c'est un pôle culturel très important et ces lecteurs afro-descendants veulent lire des livres qui ressemblent à ce qu'ils vivent au quotidien, à leur culture, à leur univers. Mais il faut aussi que les livres soient de qualité et il faut que les auteurs soient aussi de qualité ». Le choix des auteurs ? Il se fait à travers des rencontres. « Ce sont des coups de cœur, moi, je ne cherche pas forcément des auteurs. Parce que je pars du principe que ce sont des rencontres, ce sont des coups de cœur. Et sur le plan technique, je fais des contrats à compte d'édition, c'est-à-dire que c'est moi qui prends en charge toute la fabrication du livre et je reverse à l'auteur des droits d'auteur. En fait, je prends des risques quand je décide d'éditer un auteur. Et une petite maison d'édition comme la mienne ne peut pas se permettre financièrement de publier beaucoup d'auteurs », précise l'éditeur. Il prend donc son temps pour choisir les auteurs qu'il souhaite éditer et ce sont les femmes qui dominent… C'est un peu sa fibre féministe. Et parmi elles : l'autrice sénégalaise Sokhna Ndao et son dernier roman, Catharsis.   « Je cherchais un éditeur et j'ai vu que sur son site internet il publiait des femmes noires, je me suis dit qu'il avait une sensibilité particulière pour la littérature féminine ou afro-féminine descendante. Donc, vu les thématiques abordées dans mon roman, je trouverais un écho chez lui ». Un roman engagé, explique l'autrice Sokhna Ndao, qui dénonce les violences faites aux femmes au Sénégal, les violences sexistes, les violences psychologiques, la toxicité des relations, des rapports à autrui. « Et si vous allez sur les réseaux sociaux, souligne-t-elle. Vous allez trouver énormément de hashtags portés par des Sénégalaises pour dénoncer ces violences. » Une rencontre inattendue « Ce qu'elle ne vous a pas dit, lance dans un sourire Christian-Brice Ondo, c'est qu'entre la lecture du manuscrit et notre échange, elle a disparu pendant un an, comme Cendrillon. Ce que j'ai beaucoup aimé chez Sokhna Ndao, ce sont les thématiques qu'elle dénonce dans ses livres, elle les porte aussi par sa voix. Et moi, j'aime les auteurs qui ont de la personnalité et qui assument les idées qu'ils véhiculent à travers leurs romans. » Christian-Brice Ondo est un homme de l'ombre, discret, qui s'est donné comme mission d'éditer de nouveaux talents de la littérature afro-descendante.

“Obituaries are about life, about the lives that people have lived. Death only figures in one sentence.” — Sam Roberts This is, remarkably, episode 3,000 of Keen On America — three thousand conversations since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010. Fitting, then, that today's guest has written nearly 1,500 obituaries for the New York Times. Sam Roberts is a reporter on the Times' obituaries desk and has a new book about the art of the obit entitled Are They Dead Yet? We recorded this a week before airtime, so I began by asking who's going to die in the interim. He wasn't sure — but noted that the Times keeps 2,000 advance obituaries ready. There are, he added, never enough. Beware, though, the Rockefeller curse. Roberts wrote David Rockefeller's advance obituary, whereupon he learned that three other Times reporters had written Rockefeller advance obits — and all three were dead. (Rockefeller made it to 101.) Borrowing from Citizen Kane, Roberts hunts for the Rosebud moment, the epiphany that defines a life. He hunts for the soul of the subject, not the résumé. Hence his cheerful paradox that obituaries are about life, whereas death only figures in one sentence. As for famous last words, he's a skeptic — most were composed later by better writers. The real ones, he suspects, are “help,” or “get me a drink.” And the obituarist's own Rosebud moment? We have to go back to Brooklyn when he was a six-year-old boy. His father walked him to the corner to watch the Rosenberg funeral procession pass. “I want you to see history as it's happening,” he explained. Half a century later, Roberts got David Greenglass to admit he had lied about the testimony that sent his own sister, Ethel Rosenberg, to the electric chair. From the Times' Portraits of Grief after 9/11, Roberts learned the book's deepest lesson. There are no ordinary lives. Who would you miss more — your mayor or your mailman? Or maybe your obit writer (or even your podcaster)? Sam promised that if he died before airtime, he'd call. The phone hasn't rung. I'm still going too. On to episode 3,001. Five Takeaways •       2,000 Obits, Never Enough. The Times keeps some 2,000 advance obituaries on file, regularly updated — and people still surprise the desk (and presumably themselves) by dying unexpectedly. Print once had a deadline or two a day; now there's a deadline every minute. The occupational hazards are real: three Times reporters wrote advance obits of David Rockefeller and predeceased him — Roberts, the fourth, survived to see his run when Rockefeller died at 101. And the genre changes its readers: “no man who has seen his own obit is ever the same again.” Alfred Nobel, mistakenly obituarized as dynamite's merchant of death, endowed the Nobel Prizes in response — proof that a premature obituary can be the most consequential document a man ever reads.•       The Rosebud Method. Roberts' organizing device comes from Citizen Kane: the Rosebud moment, the epiphany — a teacher, a meeting, an accident — that changed the trajectory of a life and made it worth recording. The model, via The Economist's Ann Wroe, is the soul rather than the stenography: Wikipedia has the chronology; the obituary hunts the essence. Advance obits are never vetted by their subjects — facts checked, yes; the portrait, never — because an obituary is a news story, not a eulogy. And the form's great secret is optimism: obituaries are about life. Death gets one sentence. (Famous last words, meanwhile, are mostly posthumous fiction. The real ones: “help,” or “get me a drink.”)•       Giuliani, Trump, Epstein. The hardest working file on Roberts' desk: Rudy Giuliani — aggressive prosecutor, the mayor who proved New York governable, then a bitter Trump apologist indicted under the same statutes he once used on mobsters. How do you compress that into a lead paragraph? Andrew's suggestion — a narrative of somebody who had a soul and then sold it — requires Shakespeare; Roberts insists on newspaper objectivity, omitting nothing and editorializing never. The Trump obituary already exists (its subject, Roberts guesses, would sue). And context keeps moving after death: Bush the defeated loser became Bush the elder statesman; Epstein's reputation kept falling posthumously. Of the 150,000 people who die each day, three or four make the Times.•       The Rosenberg Rosebud. Roberts' own epiphany arrived at age six, on a Brooklyn street corner where his father took him to watch the Rosenberg funeral procession: “I want you to see history as it's happening.” His family otherwise met death with denial — six months after his father died, an aunt asked how Arthur was doing could only answer “so-so.” The Rosenberg thread ran through his whole career: decades later, for his book The Brother, David Greenglass admitted to Roberts that he had lied about the most incriminating testimony against his sister Ethel — evidence that, truthfully given, would likely have spared her the electric chair. When Roberts assigned graduate students to write his own advance obituary, none of them led with that. He would.•       No Ordinary Lives. From Portraits of Grief — the Times' profiles of virtually every victim of the World Trade Center attack — Roberts drew the book's central lesson: there are no ordinary lives. Who would you miss more, your mayor or your mailman? Carlyle asked whether history belongs to Hannibal or to the anonymous man who invented the spade. The desk has honored the principle in both directions: a front-page obituary for Hercule Poirot (the most famous Belgian, as Andrew noted), and a Jesus of Nazareth obituary written as the Times would have run it in AD 33 — ending, for lack of further confirmation, with the report that he was buried and his body disappeared. No beat generates more reader feedback. “As long as they're reading it, I'm happy.” About the Guest Sam Roberts is a fifty-year veteran of New York journalism, an obituaries reporter and former Urban Affairs correspondent at the New York Times, and the host of the Times' “Close Up,” which he inaugurated in 1992. His many books include The Brother, Grand Central, A History of New York in 101 Objects, and Only in New York. A history adviser to Federal Hall, he lives in New York with his wife and two sons. Are They Dead Yet? The Art of the Obit (Bloomsbury, August 11, 2026) draws on the nearly 1,500 obituaries he has written for the Times. References: •       Are They Dead Yet? The Art of the Obit by Sam Roberts (Bloomsbury, August 11, 2026). Carl Hiaasen: “Mordantly wonderful.” Roz Chast: “I almost died laughing.”•       The Brother by Sam Roberts — in which David Greenglass admitted lying about the testimony that sent his sister, Ethel Rosenberg, to the electric chair.•...

What happens when a woman stops viewing her body through everyone else's eyes and begins seeing herself as art?In this episode, I'm joined by ritual artist and pleasure weaver Khadoma Colomby to talk about pussy portraits, healing sexual shame, erotic embodiment, womb wisdom, and what it means to reclaim the parts of ourselves we were taught to hide.Khadoma shares how she transforms images of women's vulvas into deeply personal works of art and how the process becomes a ritual of reconnecting with a part of the body many women have been taught to hide, judge, change, or reserve for someone else's pleasure.We explore how women become disconnected from their bodies, why fully expressed women can be so confronting, and what changes when a woman begins treating her pleasure, sexuality, and life-force energy as her own.Khadoma also shares her simple three-song Tending Your Turn-On practice, designed to help you reconnect with your emotional landscape, awaken sensuality through self-touch, and invite more energy and pleasure into your day.Enjoy, darlin'. Timestamps:00:00 — Feminine Reclamation01:30 — Khadoma's Journey Into the Divine Feminine03:00 — The Inspiration Behind the Portraits05:17 — The Holy Harlot and Reclaiming Sexuality06:15 — Healing Shame Through Ritual and Art11:37 — Eros, Consent, and Listening to the Body13:23 — Erotic Energy as Life Force14:53 — The Three-Song Tending Your Turn-On Practice17:25 — Pleasure, Magnetism, and Embodiment20:33 — Why Fully Expressed Women Are Confronting23:42 — Untaming Women's Emotional Wilderness24:49 — Women Aren't Meant to Be the Same Every Day28:10 — What to Do When You Feel Disconnected29:33 — Womb Wisdom and the Inner Temple31:21 — Menstrual Cycles, Relationships, and Perimenopause33:00 — Fertility, Aging, and the Body's Timeline35:08 — Reclaiming Sexuality in Midlife and Beyond37:17 — Fun and Spicy Lightning RoundConnect with Khadoma: Website: https://www.khadomacolomby.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/khadoma_colomby/Support the showConnect with Kristin:WebsiteInstagramFacebook YouTubeKristin's Book:Sex, Drugs, & Soul Spotify AudiobookSubscribe:YouTubeSpotifyApplePeptides:Oral Quicksilver GHK/Copper Peptidehttps://elliemd.com/kristinbirdwellMicrodose

Chirurgienne, patineuse, éditeur, pâtissier… Leurs parcours singuliers racontent la France d'aujourd'hui, riche de ses talents et de ses diversités. Né(e)s ici ou venus d'ailleurs, ces femmes et ces hommes inspirent par leur engagement et leur réussite. Leurs portraits sont autant de modèles pour les générations futures. Dans ce troisième épisode, Maé Bérénice Méité, française d'origine ivoirienne et congolaise, a été six fois championne de France de patinage artistique. Avec deux participations aux Jeux olympiques. Un beau palmarès au niveau national. À 31 ans, elle s'entraîne aux États-Unis pour revenir au plus haut niveau. Sur les podiums ! « J'aime à dire que ce n'est pas moi qui ai choisi le patinage, mais que c'est le patinage qui m'a choisi, lance dans un large sourire Maé-Bérénice Méité. Ça combine tout ce que j'aime, la vitesse, les sauts, l'expression sur glace, raconter des histoires, entrer dans un personnage. » Maé, un prénom court et vif comme une signature, à l'image du dynamisme de cette athlète. Ses débuts ressemblent à un véritable conte de fées. Ses parents, originaires de la Côte d'Ivoire et du Congo, s'installent à Vitry-sur-Seine. C'est dans cette banlieue du Sud parisien, où elle a grandi, qu'elle découvre le patinage pour la toute première fois. « La patinoire de Vitry, j'y ai mis les pieds lorsque j'avais à peine 4 ans, j'y suis allée avec l'école et j'ai adoré. Et depuis, je n'ai jamais quitté la glace, donc ça fait maintenant bientôt 27 ans que j'évolue sur des lames et de l'eau glacée », explique-t-elle.  Son profil atypique, c'est sa force « Moi, je suis athlétique. Loin du stéréotype de la patineuse, vous savez la petite fille longiligne blonde aux yeux bleus, type poupée russe », souligne Maé-Bérénice Méité. Elle évolue dans un sport, le patinage artistique, où les femmes noires au plus haut niveau se comptent encore sur les doigts de la main. Avant elle, il y a eu l'emblématique championne olympique Surya Bonaly, qui a ouvert la voie. « En fait, explique la championne, j'ai été préparée pour affronter tout ça. Mes parents m'ont assez vite dit : "tu es une femme, donc il va falloir travailler deux fois plus. Tu es une femme noire, donc forcément il va falloir travailler quatre fois plus pour obtenir un résultat égal avec les autres. Même si tu as un potentiel supérieur, il faudra toujours que tu fournisses plus pour prouver ta valeur." Donc, en fait pour moi, ça n'a jamais été un problème quand j'ai commencé parce que je savais à quoi m'attendre et c'est ce que j'ai appliqué partout, que ce soit à l'école, au patinage, j'allais toujours chercher l'excellence. Je suis une compétitrice dans l'âme, je n'aime pas perdre, donc forcément il y a cet esprit de gagne, cette rage de vaincre qui est naturelle. J'ai juste cultivé ça. Donc, pour moi, c'était un mode de vie, donc ça n'a rien changé à mon évolution et à la manière dont j'ai approché la carrière. » Le patinage rythme sa vie au plus haut niveau. Sextuple championne de France dans la catégorie élite, Maé-Bérénice Méité a participé aux Jeux olympiques de Pyeongchang 2018 en Corée du Sud. Elle se souvient avec fierté de ce grand moment : « Aujourd'hui, j'aime regarder ces vidéos, ce sont de beaux souvenirs. Mais il fut un temps, je n'aimais pas forcément me regarder patiner parce que j'avais un peu une vision biaisée de ce que je fais. Je ne voyais que le négatif et je n'arrivais pas à apprécier la performance parce que j'étais toujours dans l'autocritique et le jugement constant. L'enjeu, il était face à moi-même, il était de me prouver que je faisais toujours partie des meilleurs mondial. Et l'objectif sur les Jeux olympiques de Pyeongchang n'était pas le même que sur les Jeux olympiques de Sotchi. À Sotchi (en Russie) mon objectif, c'était le top 10. Je l'ai atteint. Et une chose, c'est que quand je prépare mon état d'esprit à atteindre un objectif, je l'ai toujours fait ». Avant de se quitter, Maé-Bérénice Méité s'arrête devant une fresque gigantesque en plein cœur de la ville qui représente la patineuse tout sourire. C'est un hommage de la commune de Vitry à sa championne. À lire aussiPortraits des diasporas africaines: Hissein Mahamoud Barkai, le chef pâtissier venu du désert [2/5]

Drew Forsyth is an award-winning portrait photographer and director based in the North West of England, working with commercial and advertising clients across the UK and internationally. His work centres on people who've given everything to be extraordinary at what they do — from dancers with English National Ballet and musicians of the BBC Philharmonic and the Hallé Orchestras, to Nobel Prize-winning scientists, politicians, and performers at the height of their careers. His photography has been featured by BBC News, The Guardian, The Times, and Rolling Stone, and recognised by the Royal Society of the Arts. He's an AOP Accredited Photographer and Fellow of the RSA, and speaks internationally at events like Photo North, Pas de Deux Photo Conference, and the Royal Photographic Society.In this episode, Drew and Nikki trace his path from a JCPenney-style family portrait studio to photographing world leaders, Nobel laureates, and major corporate campaigns — and he breaks down exactly how he prices that work today. They dig into setting boundaries on set (and how to say yes to more without losing your mind), why those early "conveyor belt" studio years became his real technical training, and why he believes his biggest competition isn't other photographers — it's being forgotten. Drew also walks through how he actually quotes corporate jobs (day rates, itemized breakdowns, and the cautionary tale of a client who blamed him for "cheap-looking" dresses), how personal passion projects like his "Breaking Ground" series and a helicopter shoot over Manhattan became his best marketing, and the "Helsinki Bus Station Theory" — his framework for why so many photographers give up on their style right before it becomes distinctive.Topics covered:Setting boundaries with clients without losing bookingsWhy "conveyor belt" studio work builds indispensable technical skillsThe accidental path from individual sessions to corporate/organizational clientsPricing corporate shoots: day rates, itemized quotes, and scope questionsWhy past-client relationships and personal introductions beat cold outreachMarketing through consistent presence, not constant hard-sellingPassion projects as a client-acquisition strategyThe Helsinki Bus Station Theory: staying the course creativelyIf you're building a photography business, want to grow your portrait photography income, or are curious about how to make money from photography online, this conversation is packed with actionable advice.

Chirurgienne, patineuse, éditeur, pâtissier, leurs parcours singuliers racontent la France d'aujourd'hui, riche de ses talents et de ses diversités. Né(e)s ici ou venus d'ailleurs, ces femmes et ces hommes inspirent par leur engagement et leur réussite. Leurs portraits sont autant de modèles pour les générations futures. Dans ce deuxième épisode, Hissein Mahamoud Barkai, originaire du Tchad, est l'un des seuls chefs pâtissiers venus du désert. Un parcours qui bouscule les traditions en s'imposant en tant qu'homme tchadien dans le domaine de la gastronomie avec ses pâtisseries. Il porte avec fierté sur la scène internationale le patrimoine culinaire de son pays.  « Je m'appelle Hissein Mahamoud Barkai. Je suis chef pâtissier, plus connu sous le nom de pâtissier du désert ». Grand, élancé, lunettes rivées sur le nez, Hissein Mahamoud Barkai ressemble beaucoup plus à un médecin ou un créateur de mode. Il lui arrive de remplacer la toque par le turban. Ses origines nomades et tchadiennes ne sont jamais loin. Issu du peuple Gourane, sa famille était loin d'imaginer le choix de leur fils : « Pour moi, en tant qu'homme tchadien, dans ma communauté c'était vraiment très mal vu, voire honteux d'exercer ce métier de cuisinier dans sa famille. C'est une tâche qui est réservée aux femmes. Mais moi, dès ma petite enfance, j'avais ce rêve, cette envie et cette passion, mais je n'ai jamais pu m'exprimer ». Des sablés à base de farine de millet et de bissap en poudre Aujourd'hui, rendez-vous est pris dans le 18ᵉ arrondissement parisien au House of Africa pour un atelier pâtisserie. Dès qu'il met ses mains dans la farine, c'est un autre homme. Il est heureux. « On va faire des sablés à base de farine de millet, propose le chef pâtissier du Sahel. Elle est riche en fibres. Pour moi, c'est même une farine de futur, sans gluten. Dans de nombreux pays d'Afrique, c'est l'une des bases de l'alimentation et au Tchad, on fait la "boule" avec, qu'on appelle aussi "foufou". Ici, en France, quand on parle de millet, ce sont des graines que l'on donne aux oiseaux. » Sa cuisine poétique invite au voyage. Pour faire plaisir à ses parents, Hissein Mahamoud Barkai va faire des études de lettres modernes et un jour, il tombe en amour pour une pâtisserie qui va changer sa vie : « Un week-end, je suis allé en bas de chez moi, où il y avait une boulangerie-pâtisserie, et j'ai acheté un Paris-Brest. Ce gâteau, c'était une découverte pour moi, c'était délicieux, et je me suis posé cette question : est-ce que je peux créer autre chose ? En fait, tout est parti de là, de ce gâteau, le Paris-Brest ». « Je ne me sentais pas vraiment heureux » Il va longtemps travailler dans l'anonymat pour se construire et il va se consacrer au Paris-Brest qu'il va revisiter. Ce classique intemporel de la pâtisserie française, à base de pâte à choux et de crème pâtissière, le Paris-Brest. Ce gâteau va renaître sous une nouvelle étoile avec cette nouvelle appellation, Le Paris-Ndjamena Kornaka. « Depuis que j'ai acheté ce Paris-Brest, j'étais tellement inspiré que je suis retourné à mes fourneaux. Et c'est là que j'ai trouvé les balanites aegyptiaca, ou dattiers du désert, ce sont des amandes qui sont très amères. Et je me suis dit que j'allais réaliser un praliné à base de cette amande, le kornaka. J'ai fait plusieurs essais mais ça ne fonctionnait pas, car c'est très amer. Il fallait arriver à ajuster l'amertume. Ça m'a pris une année entière. Je faisais des tests. Je descendais dans la rue et je faisais goûter ma préparation aux gens. Certaines personnes que je rencontrais m'encourageaient, alors que d'autres trouvaient ça infect. J'étais vexé. Mais à force de persévérance j'ai trouvé la bonne formule, et j'étais heureux, et la pâtisserie est devenue pour moi un jeu d'enfants. » Moringa, spiruline du lac Tchad, tamarin noir ou encore gomme arabique, plus rien ne l'arrête pour une cuisine qui invite au voyage.

Send us Fan MailMexican visual artist and photographer Citlali Fabián joins Angela Nicholson to discuss how trust, patience and collaboration can transform the portrait-making process.Citlali grew up in Oaxaca, where her father ran a photo printing shop. Watching people bring in their film and return to collect their photographs gave her an early understanding of photography as an extension of memory. Her grandmother's careful approach to being photographed also showed her how much meaning a single image can hold for future generations.As Citlali's interest developed, she began exploring photography as a way to tell stories about indigenous identity, migration, family and community. Her work places the people she photographs at the centre of the creative process, giving them an active role in deciding how they are represented.This approach is particularly important in Bilha: Stories of My Sisters, the series that earned Citlali the title of Photographer of the Year at the 2026 Sony World Photography Awards. Created with women from her region, the project celebrates people whose work supports their communities and inspires younger generations.Citlali explains how she shared contact sheets with each participant, invited them to help select their portrait and developed the final illustrations through conversation and feedback. She also discusses the importance of honouring someone's decision when their preferred image differs from the photographer's choice.During the conversation, Citlali reflects on imposter syndrome, indigenous representation and the value of seeking guidance from people you trust. She also explains why photographers should resist pressure to produce work quickly and focus instead on creating something meaningful.It is a thoughtful conversation about portrait photography, identity and the responsibility that comes with telling someone else's story.TakeawaysBuild trust before reaching for the cameraMeaningful portraits often begin with conversation. Taking time to understand someone can reveal the details, places and experiences that matter most to them.Include people in how they are representedA photographer may prefer one image but the person in the portrait may feel differently. Collaboration can produce work that feels both visually strong and personally truthful.Do not rush the creative processGood work does not always arrive quickly. Allowing ideas to develop can lead to stronger images and more thoughtful decisions.Look closely at the stories around youPhotographers often overlook familiar people, places and experiences. Personal stories can offer a distinctive perspective that nobody else can provide.Ask trusted people for guidanceImposter syndrome can make it difficult to recognise the value of your work. Constructive support from a teacher, mentor or fellow photographer can help you move forward.Protect your values and wellbeingNot every opportunity is fair or worthwhile. It is acceptable to decline work that does not respect your time, values or contribution.Connect with CitlaliWebsiteInstagramLinkedInSupport the show

In this episode, I sit down with portrait photographer Betina LaPlante to explore the philosophy and practice behind her visceral, intimate portraiture. Topics covered: Why Betina puts the camera down before she ever starts shooting — and how building rapport before a session transforms the images she gets The difference between directing a subject and witnessing one — and why she almost always chooses to witness Her work photographing actors like Charles Dance and Christopher Lloyd, and what it means to reveal the person behind the persona How shooting tethered (something she rarely does) became the right call for one particularly camera-shy subject Her 35mm lens, her reliance on natural light, and why she's learning to work with continuous artificial lights Her lifelong love of black and white — from developing film in her bathroom darkroom to converting digital portraits today Why hands are central to her portraits: what they reveal, why they're harder to perform with, and how they carry a life's worth of character The ethics of intimacy in portraiture — and why she has never felt the need to use discomfort as a tool Dream subjects she'd love to photograph: Tilda Swinton, Willem Dafoe, Christopher Walken, and more Her advice for photographers still finding their voice: shoot what you genuinely love Find Betina LaPlante: Instagram: https://instagram.com/betinatheplante Website: https://betinaplante.com Sponsor links: StyleCloud — beautifully designed website templates for photographers: https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/stylecloud | Code: nerdyphoto15 (15% off) Luminar Neo — AI-powered photo editing software: https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/luminar | Code: nerdyphoto ($10 off) SiteGround — web hosting with increased storage capacity: https://siteground.com/go/nerdy Support The Nerdy Photographer Sign Up for The Power Up - https://nerdyphotographer.com/newsletter Get some artwork from the print shop - https://art.caseyfphoto.com Buy some Nerdy Photographer Merch - https://nerdyphoto.dashery.com Use our link to buy new gear from Adorama - https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/adorama Use our link to buy used gear from KEH - https://nerdyphotographer.com/recommends/keh Follow along with us on social media @thenerdyphoto About The Podcast The Nerdy Photographer Podcast is written and produced by Casey Fatchett.

Scientists in Egypt have unearthed an exceptionally rare collection of mummy portraits. These ancient artworks, dating back to the Roman era, were found at a burial site in the city of Alexandria. These stunning portraits, painted on wooden panels, were placed on the faces of mummies to depict the deceased in lifelike detail. The colors and intricate details of the portraits are remarkably well-preserved, offering a vivid glimpse into the lives of individuals from this bygone era. This discovery provides valuable insights into the art, culture, and customs of ancient Egypt and the fusion of Roman and Egyptian traditions.

National Veteran's Memorial Museum will host former President George W. Bush's collection of oil paintings and stories beginning August 8th

I had so much fun talking with Javon Longieliere. From the moment we started, it felt like I was chatting with an old friend. We laughed, shared stories from our careers, and explored something I'm passionate about—creating photography experiences that are just as meaningful as the finished portraits. Javon reminded me that our greatest gift as photographers isn't just taking beautiful pictures; it's helping people feel seen, comfortable, and connected. Those are the moments that become family legacies. We also talked about how building genuine relationships with our clients not only changes their experience but also creates a more rewarding and profitable business. In This EpisodeCreating unforgettable client experiencesBuilding trust through connectionCapturing genuine emotionWhy in-person reveals matterCreating photographs that become family legacies About My GuestJavon Longieliere is an award-winning portrait photographer from Valdosta, Georgia, and a Master Photographer, Master Wedding Photographer, Photographic Craftsman, and Certified Professional Photographer (CPP).

Before we get to long lenses, we're going into lenses that are designed for portraits, it doesn't matter if you're talking headshots, couples, quarter length, these are amazing lenses that are far more versatile than what they're called. Today's criteria are focal lengths between 70mm and 200mm, although 200mm is pushing it for some photographers, but it's our show, and we set the rules. The lenses featured in today's episode include the DC-Nikkor 105mm f/2D, AI-S Nikkor 85mm f/2, AI-S Nikkor 105mm f/2.5, Zuiko 100mm f/2.8, Takumar 85mm f/1.9, Canon 100mm f/2, AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.4G and AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G.

Caroline White has been a professional photographer for 21 years — starting as an actress shooting headshots on the side before a burglary wiped out her equipment and pushed her into photography full-time. Since 2011 she's averaged six figures a year shooting personal branding for women entrepreneurs and coaches, and more recently has pivoted into a passion project: underwater portrait photography.In this episode, Caroline and Nikki dig into pricing high-touch branding packages (from $2,500 simple sessions to a $20,000 two-and-a-half-day shoot), the "asshole insurance" strategy that protects her boundaries while letting her overdeliver for great clients, how AI is affecting (and not affecting) the personal branding photo market, and her transition from packages to in-person sales for underwater work — including handmade, rhinestone-embellished prints. Caroline also opens up about the near-drowning experiences that shaped her fearlessness in the water and her ability to help nervous clients feel safe underwater.Topics covered:Building a 6-figure business without weddings or paid adsHow marketing lag works — and what happens when you stopAdd-ons that increase average sale (rush orders, retouching tiers, split-day shoots)"Asshole insurance": overdelivering for good clients, holding boundaries with difficult onesAI's real impact on personal branding photographyUnderwater photography: gear, safety, and working with non-swimmersTransitioning from packages to in-person sales (IPS)Handmade art pieces: painting on prints, Swarovski crystals, double exposuresIf you're building a photography business, want to grow your portrait photography income, or are curious about how to make money from photography online, this conversation is packed with actionable advice.

Le majestueux cours d'eau irrigue l'histoire, la géographie et l'identité même du Québec. A Montréal, cité portuaire d'envergure, il faut aller le chercher pour s'en rapprocher. Voyage au fil de l'eau avec des émissaires, amoureux du fleuve. C'est un fleuve monument, un emblème naturel et identitaire placé au cœur du Québec… Et où que l'on soit sur ses rives, le Saint-Laurent et ses 1197 km de long, qui part des Grands Lacs dont il est le seul émissaire jusqu'à l'océan, exerce une fascination propre aux grands récits et aux grandes aventures en terre d'Amérique.   Pendant longtemps, ce fleuve continent, ce « grand boulevard mouvant » comme l'appelait le chanteur québécois Charlebois, a fait l'effet d'un miroir dans lequel la nation québécoise s'est regardée, inspirant artistes, marins, poètes, riverains, voyageurs ou usagers du fleuve.  Le regarder en majesté, s'en approcher, le vivre pour mieux tenter d'en comprendre les enjeux passés et présents, c'est ce qu'on a fait dans ce voyage… Depuis un endroit bien précis, étonnant de prime abord : Montréal, la grande île posée au bord du Saint-Laurent, avec son port qui a bien saisi l'importance du fleuve et s'est étalé sur ses rives.  À Montréal, pour trouver l'écho du fleuve, il faut alors emprunter des chemins de traverse et se glisser dans des interstices de la ville. Ce que l'on a fait en compagnie d'émissaires du fleuve:  marins d'eau douce, artistes, écrivains, pilote du Saint Laurent, océanographes, conférencier, conservatrice ou guide naturaliste qui ont à cœur de le défendre, le raconter et le faire vivre.  Car le Saint-Laurent, plus grand fleuve d'Amérique du Nord, ne vit pas que dans l'est du Canada, sur son impressionnant golfe maritime, mais aussi à Montréal. Là où de plus de plus de riverains cherchent à se le réapproprier pour mieux le protéger, célébrant ainsi sa beauté mais aussi sa fragilité. Un voyage sonore de Laure Allary et Céline Develay-Mazurelle.    ► Pour voyager au fil du Saint-Laurent à Montréal : - Tourisme Montréal a concocté une liste des meilleurs spots les pieds dans l'eau : plages, promenades ou guinguettes. Une excursion en petit bateau électrique est notamment proposée par Le Petit Navire - Naviguer sur le Saint-Laurent à la voile avec les Jeunes Marins Urbains fondé par le navigateur québécois Yves Plante - Vous rendre au Parc National des îles de Boucherville, un sanctuaire de nature typique des bords du fleuve, situé à deux pas de la grande ville  - Aller au Musée de la Pointe à Callière, cité d'archéologie et d'histoire de Montréal qui raconte les débuts de la ville au bord du fleuve et qui en 2023-24 a imaginé l'exposition « Fleuve Saint-Laurent, échos des rivages » - Vous plonger dans les ouvrages du célèbre écrivain autochtone innu Michel Jean, publié en France aux Éditions Points/Seuil - En savoir plus sur la formidable corporation des Pilotes du Saint Laurent, un article historique  - Découvrir l'indispensable travail de l'Organisation Bleue, organisme environnemental fondé en 2018 par Anne-Marie Asselin, biologiste marine et grande amoureuse du Saint-Laurent - Suivre les conférences de Serge Lepage, vulgarisateur scientifique et conférencier sur le Saint-Laurent - En savoir plus sur l'humoriste et océanographe d'origine sénégalaise Boucar Diouf qui a consacré un spectacle  au Saint-Laurent « Magtogoek ou le chemin qui marche »  - Sur la vie atypique du seul résident permanent du Saint-Laurent, Sébastien Mignault. Par Radio Canada - Voir « Le Courrier du Fleuve », le projet de Gwenn Duval, navigatrice et océanographe de formation, de sensibilisation au fleuve - Sur les mouvements citoyens de riverains qui tentent de se réapproprier le fleuve. Un reportage de notre correspondant de RFI à Montréal en 2023 - Découvrir le travail de l'éditeur et illustrateur québécois Jimmy Beaulieu qui a grandi sur l'île d'Orléans et vit désormais à Montréal. Un travail irrigué notamment par le fleuve… - De très nombreux ouvrages reviennent sur le Saint-Laurent. Parmi eux, Saint-Laurent Mon amour de Monique Durand paru aux Éditions Mémoires d'Encrier ou « Portraits du Saint-Laurent – Histoires des pêches et récits maritimes » d'Hélène Raymond, paru aux Éditions Multimondes - L'écrivaine et réalisatrice Anais Barbeau Lavalette a également écrit « Femme Fleuve » aux Éditions Marchands de Feuille et imaginé l'exposition « Vues du Fleuve » avec sa mère Manon Barbeau. Regards poétiques et engagés au féminin - Une compilation ici des ouvrages et écrivain.e.s s'inspirant du Saint-Laurent. Par la Bibliothèque et Archives du Québec - Un article intéressant de The Conversation, qui a consacré une série au Fleuve, sur le phénomène d'hypoxie ou manque d'oxygène du Saint-Laurent également victime de l'érosion des berges, l'acidification de ses eaux, de la surpêche sans parler des sécheresses de plus en plus courantes.

Portrait photographer Craig Fleming has spent decades navigating the space between film and digital, celebrity commissions and working-class subjects, polish and truth. In this episode of The Nerdy Photographer Podcast, Craig joins us for a wide-ranging conversation about his process, his philosophy, and two ongoing personal projects — Quiet Men and Circus — that are reshaping how he thinks about legacy and the purpose of his work. We get into what it really means to balance film and digital photography, why Craig thinks returning to medium format gave him integrity back as a photographer — and made him better at digital. We talk about his strong feelings on AI and what it's taking from photographers and creatives. Craig also shares what he believes is the single most important element of a great portrait — and it has nothing to do with your camera.

Portraits of the Crucified Messiah - The Sacrificial Service of the Lamb of God - Oliver Jones

What makes a portrait feel memorable when the location is ordinary, the light is difficult and your subject would rather be somewhere else? In this episode of The Camera Shake Photography Podcast, Kersten Luts speaks with acclaimed photojournalist, portrait photographer and educator Rick Friedman about creating honest, compelling portraits in the real world.Rick shares practical portrait photography advice drawn from decades photographing presidents, artists, scientists and public figures. You'll learn how preparation and research help subjects relax; how to find story in an environment; when to use available light, flash, reflectors and small portable lighting kits; and why strong portraits are built through connection, not just camera gear.They also discuss editorial photography, location lighting, working under pressure, personal projects, film versus digital, ethical retouching, AI, and the photography business today.Whether you shoot corporate headshots, editorial portraits, events, weddings, documentaries, brand photography or video, this conversation will help you work with more confidence and intention.Practical ideas you can use on your next portrait shoot.#photography #portraitphotography #RickFriedman #CameraShakePodcast00:00 How to Make Better Portraits Anywhere01:34 From Photojournalism to Presidential Politics05:00 Researching Subjects and Building Trust09:15 The People Skills Behind Every Great Shoot13:12 How Access to Political Stories Has Changed15:11 Preparing for High-Profile Assignments18:41 Finding Human Moments in Political Photography22:00 The Gear and Lenses Rick Carries30:50 Sponsor: Platypod31:55 How to Direct Camera-Shy Subjects36:43 Keeping Portrait Shoots Smooth and Professional40:29 Mentorship and Passing It Forward43:47 How to Assess an Unfamiliar Location46:37 The Biggest Mistakes in Location Portraiture49:03 Available Light vs Flash51:31 Rick's Compact Travel Lighting Kit55:57 The Simplest Way to Start Using Flash01:02:59 Personal Projects and Keeping Your Work Fresh01:08:30 Workshops, Teaching and Career Diversification01:13:06 Archives, Feedback and Building a Lasting Career01:19:41 Quick-Fire Round01:27:43 Rick's Best Advice for Better Portraits01:35:24 Outro******************************************************************Get Your CAMERA SHAKE MERCH: https://www.kerstenluts.com/camerashake-merch******************************************************************SUPPORT THE PODCAST: www.buymeacoffee.com/camerashake******************************************************************JOIN THE CAMERA SHAKE COMMUNITY for the latest news and some behind the scenes insights: www.camerashakepodcast.com ******************************************************************Check out our sponsor: www.platypod.com******************************************************************THIS WEEK'S LINKS:Rick Friedman on the web:https://rickfriedman.com/Rick Friedman Social Media:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rickfriedmanpixLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rickfriedmanpixFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rick.friedman.54X: https://x.com/RickFriedmanPixJOIN THE CAMERA SHAKE COMMUNITY for the latest news and some behind the scenes insights: www.camerashakepodcast.com ======================================CAMERA SHAKE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/camerashakeFULL EPISODE 316 ‘How to Make Better Portraits Anywhere with RICK FRIEDMAN ' IS ALSO AVAILABLE ON: YouTube - https://youtu.be/D5gDL_uM__AApple Podcasts - https://apple.co/2Y2Lmfm Spotify - https://spoti.fi/304sm2G ======================================FOLLOW US ONInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/camerashakepodcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/camerashakepodcastX: https://twitter.com/ShakeCameraKersten's website: www.kerstenluts.comKersten on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kerstenluts/https://www.instagram.com/threeheadsinarow/ Hosted on Acast.

Share a commentA polished religious image can be easier than honest fellowship. We start with a surprising history lesson behind the phrase “putting on the dog,” then connect it to a temptation many Christians know too well: using church culture, spiritual vocabulary, and carefully managed appearances to hide what is really going on inside.From there we step into Romans 7, where Paul speaks in first person and present tense about the internal war of sanctification. He describes doing what he hates, failing to do what he loves, and feeling trapped by the presence of indwelling sin in the flesh. We slow down and highlight three signs that point to real faith and spiritual growth: an aversion to sin, an abiding love for God's law, and a longing to please God through holy living. If you have ever wondered whether the struggle disqualifies you, this passage reframes the fight with both clarity and hope.We also talk about how the flesh deceives the mind and tries to control the body, why maturity often means less self-trust, and how pride can rise up even after “good” spiritual moments. Then we get painfully practical with the real costs of unconfessed sin for prayer, joy, growth, usefulness, and witness, and we contrast that with the way unbelief can rationalize wrongdoing until it sounds righteous. We close where Paul lands: “wretched man that I am” met by gratitude for God's grace through Jesus Christ.If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend who feels stuck, and leave a review telling us what part of the battle you most want to understand better.Explore all of our Biblically Faithful Resources at https://www.wisdomonline.org Learn more: https://www.wisdomonline.org/Support the show

The Prophesied King, week seven

**Note - I gave Cattalena's death date wrong - it's 1625 and I said 1525! So sorry!!! *** When I picture Tudor England, I used to picture... white people. Portraits. Ruffs. Henry VIII being grumpy. And then I read Miranda Kaufmann's book Black Tudors. Because it turns out there were around 200 free Africans living in England during the Tudor period (probably more, but that's what we know for sure). Working, raising families, going to church, getting buried with full rites. And we almost completely forgot about them. In this episode we're looking at the stories of John Blanke, Jacques Francis, Reasonable Blackman, and Cattelena of Almondsbury. And then I want to talk about something that I've been thinking about: scientific racism, the Enlightenment, Darwin, eugenics, and the strange human pattern of taking progress and using it to build a hierarchy.
