Dave Shay is an entrepreneurially-minded photographer who loves working at the intersection of art and technology. From repairing cameras for Leica and FujiFilm to starting his own photography business and being an ambassador for MagMod and SLR Lounge, Dave always seeks new challenges.His most significant business challenge came in the form of busyness. In 2013, Dave photographed over 53 weddings (up from 15 the year prior). With no reliable systems in place to handle double-digit growth, Dave grappled with burnout.Learning from his life lessons, Dave made it his mission to help photographers simplify their workflow and build better systems.

Whether you know it or not your life, your business and your photography is likely driven by a set of core values. These values inform not only your decisions but also are the lens through which you see the successes and failures all around you. This episode with Pye Jirsa was a beautifully unscripted walk through his journey as a photographer, founder of SLR Lounge, educator and author with a perfect view into what has driven him to pursue so many things so successfully. Pye describes himself as a "frame works engineer", or more simply a person who loves to make complicated things simple. After years as an accomplished photographer (which he still is) he began to expand his educational platforms and reach into everything from bettering relationships to learning how to take a new idea and make it viral and he breaks down in this episode some of the hurdles he has crossed in learning all of these things as well as the motivations behind teaching them to others. This really is a rare, vulnerable, and power packed episode with an absolute legend in the Photographic industry.

Since we've recently gained so many new listeners, we wanted to throw it back to one of our favorite episodes! I love this conversation with Pye! It was such a raw and in-depth conversation about the illusion of stability, the origin of most people’s fears, and the importance of developing a learning mindset. What is so fascinating about Pye’s journey is not just that he jumped from being a CPA to becoming a founder of an award-winning, multi-million dollar photography studio, it’s that he did that without having a passion for or knowing the first thing about photography. Like most of us, Pye started going down the traditional path. He became a CPA and worked for Ernst & Young before realizing that he did not like what he was doing. He quit, along with his two best friends Justin and Chris, in order to start a tech startup. When the funding for their startup fell through, the friends took on web development clients. One of their clients needed photographs taken and Pye assured them that they had a photography department that could take care of it! What I love about his story is that most people would not only shirk at taking on a task that they don’t know how to do but also avoid a “creative” profession that they are not skilled in. Pye, realizing that photography was a skill that could be acquired, looked at entering the wedding photography industry as a business and not a passion. That eye towards business has led Pye, and his partners, to create Lin and Jirsa Photography, a boutique Southern California wedding and portrait photography studio composed of an incredible creative team of 50 people that shoots over 300 weddings each year, with nearly 1,000 yearly client commissions. He is also a founder and partner in SLR Lounge, a premium educational community geared towards providing photographers with real-world shoot education with nearly a million monthly readers. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: My experience with launching this podcast! Specifically, how taking a risk in my own life led me to realize the opportunity in doing so. The breaking point that led Pye to quit his job and take a risk on himself How failed attempts at funding projects and business ventures became opportunities for exploration, self-discovery, and ultimately, success How he created a multi-million dollar business in photography with a positive “learning mindset” Why Pye has a “passionate dislike” of the word “stable” and the illusion it creates Where Pye believes most fear comes from and why it limits your opportunities and potential How developing a “Learning Mindset” allowed Pye to turn quitting and “failing” into growth, opportunity, and success Upcoming Events: LFAQ Live Event Sign Up Masterclass Sign Up Resources from the Show: Visit Lin and  Jirsa Photography and explore his phenomenal photo blog On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King, ebook Listen to more inspiring quitters on my webpage!

Pye Jirsa is the founder and partner of SLR Lounge and Lin & Jirsa Photography, a premier boutique photography and videography studio in Southern California. The Lin & Jirsa team photographs over 300 weddings each year, with nearly 1,000 yearly client commissions. Pye is the creator behind the workshops and resources inside the SLR Lounge library which has nearly a million monthly readers. He’s also a prolific instructor on CreativeLive with classes on everything from lighting mastery to business systems to engagement & wedding photography. In this episode Pye explores how he had to lose everything to gain happiness. He shares personal stories of loss and love, fear and growth. He describes what being raised by a single immigrant father who moved him from Iran to Utah taught him about fear as a child. Pye stopped creating art for a decade after his high school art teacher told him to quit because he wasn’t good enough. We talk about mental health and finding the source of stability. He shares his daily routine that helps him stay present and why discomfort became his compass. This is We Are Photographers with Pye Jirsa, and this is his story.

This week's guest is Ian Weldon! Ian takes an uncompromising approach to his photography, and that unique approach to his art hasn't gone unnoticed. He's been included as one of the Best 100 Wedding Photographers in the World in both 2015 and 2016 and was named one of SLR Lounge's Best 150 International Wedding Photographers in 2016. Today's guest has a cool accent, so I don't feel like I need to say much more in terms of why you should listen to this episode. However, I will say that my main takeaway from talking with Ian is that you shouldn't be afraid to make the kind of work that you want to make. Ian's style is unconventional in the wedding world, and that style might not resonate with a lot of people - but for the people that it does click with he's exactly what they're looking for.     Resources Mentioned Ian Weldon Photography Ian Weldon Photography Facebook Outer Focus Blog Fujifilm X-Pro2 Professional Mirrorless Camera Sponsors Tave Studio Manager - Use code "SIXFIGUREPHOTOGRAPHY" to get 20% off your first year + an extra month added to your free trial if you use my referral link Miller's Professional Imaging - Use code "SFP25" to get 25% off signature albums

Pye Jirsa is an incredible man who in seven short years has gone from CPA to creating a photo empire that has over 100 people under his supervision at the wedding photography studio Lin & Jirsa. He is the founder and partner of the popular educational platform SLR Lounge and has taught numerous classes on CreativeLive, including Working with Flash and Incredible Engagement Photography.

Pye Jirsa and his 2 partners run a photography studio in Los Angeles, California. LinandJirsaPhotography.com and SLRLounge.com.    1:00 - how Pye & his partners started their photography studio. They weren’t originally photographers, but fell into it accidentally when a client needed some photos.    5:00 - Pye talks about how he built up his photography skills, the shoots he does just to build skills, and how many photographers don’t do this.    8:30 - the team booked gigs off of Craigslist for free or $50 just to build their skills. Pye talks about how they grew their skills by doing these free gigs.    10:30 - SLR Lounge & Lin & Jirsa photography have about 20 people working for them. They shot 300+ weddings and portrait sessions in 2014. Pye charges $8,000 minimum for a wedding day shoot, and he talks about how he got to that number. How beginning artists undermine their own credibility by trying to charge too much.    18:30 - how Pye & the team created additional income streams from their art, and how SLR Lounge came into being.    25:00 - a lot of artists try to run more than one business at a time. This is very difficult to do, and needs to be handled strategically. Unless you have some sort of specific advantage, you can’t build more than one business at a time.    Thanks to ArtStoreFronts.com for sponsoring this episode
