On this week's episode we welcome David Young, photographer and author of the new book A Brief History of Photography: From the Very Beginning to the Age of Digital. It may feel like photography is only a little more than a hundred years old, but the principles of the art, from lens design to chemistry, have been around for centuries. We had a great conversation about things that surprised David while researching the book, the long obsession with ultra-wide apertures, and more. Author photo courtesy of Alex Hurst (Ireland).

“You have to give something away to get someone in.” —Kourtney Jason For any small business, getting noticed isn't easy. Between all the noise online and in their communities, it's hard for owners to get their message heard. Hence, increasing visibility through smart PR and marketing can really help spread the word.

In 2018 I released a book called Photography by the Letter. It took three years of research, writing, re-writing, designing, and re-designing, and while it wasn't as financially successful as I had hoped, it was one of the most satisfying projects I've ever done. After shopping it around to a number of publishers—all of whom passed on it—we self-published a limited print run and released it simultaneously as an eBook. Opening up the first box of books from the printer and seeing those three years represented as actual objects was a very emotional experience. I sent a copy to Ted Waitt at Rocky Nook, who had been incredibly helpful and supportive while I was writing it. He responded with a lovely email that read, “It is really quite beautifully designed and very well printed. I honestly cannot think of a self-published book that I have seen better production values on. Nicely done!” The book has gotten hundreds of glowing reviews like this, and none of them are wasted on me. As proud as I am of what we accomplished, I remember telling Adrianne that while I would love to write another book, I'd never do another one like Photography by the Letter. The technical nature of the writing was hard, dry, and way outside of my wheelhouse, which is why it took multiple passes to get it right. Still, I loved the process as a whole and have had the idea of writing another book in the back of my head ever since.

1986 - Kingston, Massachussetts. On a brisk night in October of 1986, 15-year-old Tracy Gilpin left a friend's house party in Rocky Nook to buy a pack of cigarettes at the Cumberland Farms gas station. When she left the parking lot around 11:30pm, it was the last time she would be seen alive. Three weeks later, Tracy's body was found 11 miles away in Myles Standish State Forest. She'd been crushed by a 73 lb boulder. For years, the Gilpin's fought to keep Tracy in the public eye. Her sister, Kerry Gilpin, inspired to help make a difference for other families, even became a state trooper (and eventually the superintendent) for the Massachusetts State Police. As years went on and other cases were solved, they always wondered when their day for justice would come… and 32 years later, in 2018, it did; when police arrested 61-year-old Michael Arthur Hand in North Carolina. This is the murder of Tracy “Ashtray” Gilpin and what we know in the case against Michael Hand, which will most likely be heading to trial sometime this year. Though an arrest has been made, the work is still not done. If you have any information on the murder of Tracy Gilpin, now is the time to come forward. Please contact the Massachusetts State Police investigators at (508) 894-2584 with any information.

It's easy to forget that your camera is more than just a box that records light. It's a sophisticated computer with a huge amount of control over the light that hits the sensor. In this episode we talk about why it's important to (gasp) read the manual, experiment with features, and gain a better understanding of the camera's capabilities. This isn't just an exhortation to RTFM, but a practical look at what you can get out of it.

I feel like I have been studying Joe McNally's work since I first picked up a camera, so this should be the easiest show post I have ever done. He is an absolute master of light, and I own his "The Language of Light" Volume One, I need to get Volume Two. I have watched classes through KelbyOne and CreativeLive, and twice I have sat at the end of his PhotoshopWorld Keynotes wishing it wasn't over. Yeah, this should be easy. But no, this is a tough one. Joe McNally is a legend, and most anyone you ask would agree that he's one of the top photographers working today, perhaps ever. He is in that very elite group of photographers know as Nikon Ambassadors, along with the likes of Moose Peterson (who has been on the show twice - for Wildlife & Wild Places & Aviation Photography), Deborah Sandidge (who was on the show for the episode on Better Travel Photography), Todd Owyoung and others. Joe is also a Capture One Ambassador, a Gitzo Ambassador, and is affiliated with Printique (an Adorama company), Synology, Lastolite, Tether Tools, and Powerex. Writing about someone I respect as much as Joe creates a flood of thoughts, and putting them in the right order matters. Let me start here... Joe McNally won the first Alfred Eisenstaedt Award for Journalistic Impact for a LIFE coverage titled, “The Panorama of War”. He has been honored numerous times by Communication Arts, PDN, Graphis, American Photo, POY, and The World Press Photo Foundation. His career has led to international acclaim, more awards than I could list here, and assignments that have taken him to 70 countries. With all of that said, we have only just begun to scratch the surface of Joe's career. Joe has shot numerous cover stories, and highly complex features, for legendary publications such as LIFE, National Geographic, and Sports Illustrated, along with cover stories for TIME, Newsweek, Fortune, New York, Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times Sunday Magazine, and Men's Journal. He has also managed to do something few people can... bridge the worlds of photojournalism and advertising. His client list includes FedEx, Sony, Nikon, Land's End, General Electric, MetLife, Adidas, American Ballet Theater, Epson, the Wildlife Conservation Society, ESPN, MAC Cosmetics, USAA, the New York Stock Exchange, and Lehman Brothers, and that's a short version. American Photo listed Joe as one of the 100 Most Important People in Photography, and described by the magazine as “perhaps the most versatile photojournalist working today", and in 2010 he was voted as one of the 30 most influential photographers of the decade in an industry wide Photo District News survey. As an educator, McNally is unequaled. He is an author, teacher, and highly sought after speaker. His newest book, "The Real Deal: Field Notes from the Life of a Working Photographer" - available through Rocky Nook or Amazon - was released on February 8, 2022. I pre-ordered it, and can't wait to read through it. In fact the photo we discuss on this show triggers a whole chapter in the book. His other titles include "Sketching Light", "The Hot Shoe Diaries", The Moment It Clicks", and "The Face of Ground Zero". The latter is based on Joe's "Faces of Ground Zero, Portraits of the Heroes of September 11, 2001 Collection", which consists of 246 Giant Polaroids - life-size photos (9' x 4') shot during a three-week period shortly after September 11, 2001, with additional images shot in 2002. I mentioned above my experience watching Joe give a Keynote at PhotoshopWorld a few years ago. Joe McNally is hands down the best I have ever seen. I don't know how to even begin to describe his speaking and teaching ability. All I can do is suggest that, given the opportunity, you don't miss him on stage. Be sure to check out his classes too, like The Language of Light class mentioned above, or through places like KelbyOne and CreativeLive. I can only imagine how great his live workshops are, and,
Joe McNally, who humbly refers to himself as a “working photographer,” has shot everything from high-concept editorial to the Olympic games, and established a reputation as one of the most generous photographers in the business. We talked with Joe about his dogged start on the streets of 1970s New York City and how he's built his career, which he chronicles in his new book, The Real Deal: Field Notes from the Life of a Working Photographer (https://rockynook.com/shop/photography/the-real-deal/ref/251/?campaign=pcom).

Kaylee is one of the most hard working and dedicated professionals in her specialist field. She's often imitated and you can see why, her style is unique and her reason for committing to dog photography is also admirable. She is a joy to interview and even more so as a friend. She has also just released her first book, Dogtography, with Rocky Nook which will also be a huge success.GET KAYLEE'S BOOK HERE (UK)GET KAYLEE'S BOOK HERE (US)THE TV SHOWKaylee's WebsiteKaylee's InstagramAbout KayleeKaylee Greer is an internationally recognized private and commercial pet photographer. She is living out her dream through a camera lens in gorgeous Boston, Massachusetts. She’s traveled the world teaching pet photography workshops and has seen her work published in many major industry editorial titles. Her images grace calendar lines, greeting cards, products, packaging and advertising campaigns throughout the commercial pet industry.

Through her business, Dog Breath Photography, it is one of Kaylee’s strongest passions to give a voice to the voiceless by volunteering her time to local shelters and photographing the abandoned and homeless animals who lie in wait for a second chance.

This episode is sponsored by: Skylum Luminar - Simple and fast photo editing software http://bit.ly/PPN-Luminar3 COSYSPEED - The fastest camera bags in the world. http://bit.ly/STREETOMATIC Inspirational photographer of the month: Ibarionex picks American photographer Mary Ellen Mark (1940 - 2015) known for her photojournalism/documentary photography. She photographed people who were away from mainstream society and toward its more interesting, often troubled edges of society. Her photography went on to address such social issues such as homelessness, loneliness, drug addiction, and prostitution. Children are a recurring subject throughout much of her work. She was very good with people so that they would trust her and open up their soul without acting or pretending to be part of the socially accepted mainstream. “When Photographing I want to reach out and touch something that I feel is at the core of people.” - Mary Ellen Mark http://www.maryellenmark.com Inspiring photographers that Ibarionex has interviewed and talked about in this episode: Mary Ellen Mark http://www.maryellenmark.com/ Joel Meyerowitz https://www.joelmeyerowitz.com/ Dan Winters https://danwintersphoto.com/ Safi Alia Shabiak https://flashbulbfloozy.com/ The Candid Frame episode with Safi Alia Shabiak: http://www.ibarionex.net/thecandidframe/2019/4/28/the-candid-frame-464-safi-alia-shabaik Links to Ibarionex Perello’s work and social media accounts: Website:www.thecandidframe.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/Ibarionex/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Ibarionex Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ibarionex Japan Workshop with Ibarionex: https://www.nobechicreative.com/workshops#/tokyo-explorations-in-the-metropolis-with-ibarionex-perello-and-george-nobechi/ Inspirational Photo Book Pick of the Month: “Making Photographs - Developing a Personal Visual Workflow” by Ibarionex Perello. “In Making Photographs, photographer Ibarionex Perello teaches you how to face and conquer two of the greatest challenges for a photographer: to consistently make good images and to see the photographic possibilities all around you.” Published by Rocky Nook (and in Germany by dPunkt Verlag) - 320 Pages English version: http://www.ibarionex.net/thecandidframe/2018/9/26/40-off-making-photographs-developing-a-personal-visual-workflow German version at Amazon Germany: https://amzn.to/34E90Bu Marco Larousse Street Photography Workshop October 2019: https://www.marcolarousse.com/street-photography-workshops Links to Marco Larousse: Web: www.MarcoLarousse.com Twitter: @HamburgCam Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marco.larousse/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MarcoLarousse1 Links to PPN: Web: www.PhotoPodcasts.com or PPN.fm Twitter: @Photopodcasts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/photopodcasts/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ppnphotopodcastnetwork Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/ppn-apple-podcasts Please support our show by using our B&H affiliate link (click here) or Amazon Germany link (click here) that will not cost you a penny more than when you are buying at B&H or Amazon without our link.
