In this episode of The Fully Booked Photographer, the Business Success Academy team discusses the effect of print competitions and how winning awards have been considered as a significant measure of success.   These accomplishments can boost your reputation and potentially attract more clients, however relying on external validation may not be sustainable in the long run. Instead, photographers should focus on creating photographs that speak to their unique vision and style. The process of self-discovery and improvement is a more fulfilling and valuable pursuit than seeking recognition from others.   The Business Success Academy team discusses how print competitions can foster an unhealthy mindset and distract photographers from their own growth. Therefore, it is essential for photographers to balance their desire for external recognition with the recognition they give themselves for their personal and professional development.   In this episode you will hear: Why you don't need validation. The problem with print competition. The importance of mindset in business.   For more information about this episode head to https://www.thefullybookedphotographer.com/   The Fully Booked Photographer is the podcast that will help you grow your photography business by teaching you how to improve your marketing to get better leads, increase conversations with your ideal clients and generate more profit for your photo-based business, whether that is through eliminating the seasonality of your sessions or filling up the calendar of your studio. This show is brought to you by the industry experts from the Business Success Academy, Ronan Ryle - Board of Directors of the PPA, Professional Photographers Of America; Photography-marketing funnel specialist Jonathan Ryle; 7-figure entrepreneur, including a successful 3rd generation photography business, Bradley Bulmer; and published author and successful children's studio owner in Tampa Jeanine McLeod.   Tune in to this show for real-world experience, outside perspective, industry knowledge and mentorship that is usually only accessible to members of BSA's Photography Marketing Accelerator and listen to the business growth tactics that generate highly targeted leads and bookings for your photography brand.   Through this fun, educational, inspirational, innovative and high-energy show, The Fully Booked Photographer aims to share the mission of Creating A Healthier Society Through Photography.

A couple of weeks ago, we judged the British Institute Of Professional Photographers (BIPP) 2022 national print competition. I have always loved being a judge and now, in my role as Chair Of Qualifications And Awards for the BIPP, I couldn't be happier!  I get to see so many incredible images and sit with so many incredible photographers.  It's one of the best gigs imaginable. In the first half of the episode, I step through the rigour of judging, how it is done, and how we ensure it is fair. In the second half of the episode,  I go through some of the notes I made while the judges assessed and commented on each of the entries. If you are curious about image competitions or fancy entering one - not just the BIPP competition - some of the things we spotted might be of use to you! Enjoy! Cheers P.

This week we give you a little peek behind the curtain and let you know what it's like to sit in the judge's chair.

055 - Travis Patenaude's "why" is as clear and powerful as that of any pet photographer I've met.

We are back after a long hiatus! On this week's episodes we talk about about what prints are worthy of recognition in judged image competitions, as well as the relevance and need for a separate wedding photography degree within the Professional Photographers of America's degree program. Of course, we squeeze in some movie talk as well! Its great to be back!

Even though the magic of Christmas time is over, we DID make some time to sneak in a visit to Pulitzer Prize winning photographer (and my good friend) Scott Shaw, for what ended up being a magical interview. Scott spends some time chatting about how he got his start in photography, as well as the story behind his 1988 Pulitzer prize winning image of baby Jessica McClure being rescued after falling into a well in Texas. Scott is now shooting weddings and portraits, and we spend a little time at the end of the episode chatting about his transition from shooting for major newspapers as a photojournalist, and his thoughts about where the industry is heading.

We head to the PPNC Convention to record this week's episode from a laptop that has a REALLY crappy microphone (spoiler alert). What wasn't crappy was the incredible convention put on by the fine folks at the Professional Photographers of North Carolina, and we were lucky enough to be joined by outgoing PPNC President Ned Winn. We chat a little about the importance of local and state photography organizations with Ned, and wrap up the show chatting about the IPC angst that seems to be taking social media by storm.

Welcome to the anniversary episode where Ted and Christine touch on their favorite topics, including those lovely editing "techniques" (we cant say that without laughing, can you?) learned by photographic newcomers. Christine goes off on a black and white pet peeve tangent and Ted continues to expand on his disenchantment with the photography "workshop" trend.

The 4th of July is here, but sadly Christine is not! We'll give her a break as she's resting from some fun at the dentist, and we'll instead talk a little about what makes the 4th of July an extraordinary date in history. Plenty of history in today's episode, plus you get to hear Christine's favorite song ever!

Join Ted and Christine as they wax eloquent about their favorite summertime activities, which include pushing IPC deadlines to their max. They review their case entries for this year and their angst-filled processes of creating the perfect competition entry. As usual, there are brief forays into fishing, food and trophies. Go figure.

Ted & Christine delight listeners with their take on harvest craft beers before veering off on a tangent about a new online retailer who claims to have raised the bar on fashion photography...well, we'll see about that...

Ted and Christine are back with Episode 15 which bounces from stabbings at campgrounds to stabbings at weddings. Ok, maybe the wedding stabbings are just togs glaring daggers at guests with iPads blocking the aisle. Have a listen and let us know what makes *you* wanna poke someone in the eye with a chicken bone.

Ted and Christine bemoan the introduction of Qikpix, a flat-rate photography service in Chicago. After getting a slight grip, they continue the conversation from a previous episode with further discussion of iconic photographs and whether it's within the reach of a wedding and/or portrait photographer, complete with a discussion of what photographers in recent history come the closest to being able to pull it off. Christine expands on the iconic photographs most meaningful to her and Ted lets the cat out of the bag regarding a future Pulitzer-Prize winning guest.

Ted and Christine discuss iconic photographs and photojournalism. What makes an iconic photograph? Can iconic photographs still be achieved in this day of advanced technologies and proliferation of cameras? Stepping outside the seriousness is a discussion of the man romper, its place in society and the seat-gripping question "Isn't it hard to (ahem) use the facilities?"

Jason Crocker joins Ted this week for a discussion on a topic most wedding photographers dread: what happens if you have a major injury and are unable to photograph weddings for a few months. Jason talks about his personal experience with this very issue. We also talk a little about the new Profoto B1X and why its a little pointless, as well as what it takes to become successful in photography in 2017.

Back once again with the topic of controversy, Ted and Christine discuss the 10 most controversial moments in the history of photography; expanding on an article written by John Ortved for History.com. To continue with the theme, they then delve into the recent hoop-lah surrounding the ShutterFest competition results.

Who *really* earned that merit/loan? Should hired retouchers be allowed in competition? At what point does someone else's editing interpretation become the reason that an image excels? A post PPA Northeast District discussion as Ted & Christine analyze the facets that conflict with the spirit of competition.

Magazine Cover Incredulosity continues as Ted and Christine critique the May issue of Photo District News (PDN), inspiring a discussion of the quality of art. Questions abound...Should Art have some semblance of technical competence. Should any work, no matter how haphazardly and skillessly assembled, be labeled as art? What happens when our art infringes on the work of another? The questions get deep and analytical as the conversation veers towards the current lawsuit brought by the creator of "Charging Bull" over the installation of "Fearless Girl" in Mew York City. This, and more deep discussion about the influence of social media on photography; Ted and Christine ponder the questions that plague the artists of today.

Today's episode covers the sticky subject of copyright, inspired by the questionable cover of the April 2017 issue of Professional Photographer Magazine, brought to the public eye by an article written by Jack Reznicki and Edward Greenberg. Ted and Christine weigh in on their thoughts and opinions regarding the image on the cover and the potential ramifications of it. They also discuss several similar issues that have occurred within the music industry, specifically Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven". The moral and ethical responsibility of photographers is analyzed and the question of "how many components of a photograph can be copyrighted?" is bandied about. There's not a whole lot of fun and games in this episode - all the minutes are allocated to this timely and concerning topic.

As usual, Ted derails the podcast with movie talk before addressing the meaty topic of what can be done to raise the bar on entry into teaching within the industry. Additional discussion centers on whether the PPA's Master of Photography degree is becoming too easy to obtain and questions on the level of discernment used in approving Super One Day instructors. Of course, there are random comments on Thin Mints and a slight sidebar on the Cocoa Cola Museum. As per past episodes, one train wreck is included; Christine's dog, Ollie, makes a guest appearance (insert rolling eyes emoticon here).

Today's podcast includes an in-depth discussion of styled shoots and whether or not images from them are appropriate for portfolios. We discuss wedding photography (again) and the role of Bridal magazines and their influence on photography expectations. Both discuss their favorite movies and some interesting information regarding the setting of "The Shawshank Redemption." Christine and Ted are also relieved that no cats appeared during this recording.

In today's episode we chat a little about the importance of the client experience, and the possibility of a produce smashing event at your next photography convention.

How offended can we all really be on a daily basis? We will try to keep track of that in today's episode, and we'll mix in a discussion about education and growing as an artist.

The title sounds like a hodge-podge of ADD. It is. But it's scads of fun - have a listen.

Greetings, salutations and welcome to the inaugural episode of "Making Photography Great Again." This episode defies description, so we'll just let you discover for yourself what we're all about.
