We catch up on the gallery space that didn't come together — not because of conflict, but because the arrangement shifted enough that the original vision no longer fit. What stings isn't the logistics, it's the built-in community that came with that particular spot, and the version of things we'd already started imagining.From there the conversation turns inward. We're both feeling the gap between talking about making work and actually making it — the pull to get back out with a camera, the fatigue of looking at old sequences, and what it means when commerce brain starts crowding out everything else. We end up somewhere around the question of what art even is — Tolstoy's definition, the transcendentalist framing, Rick Rubin and George Saunders on process — and whether finding your own answer to that matters more than finding the right one. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

In a week where:Morgan McSweeney quits as Keir Starmer's chief of staff.Sanae Takaichi's Liberal Democratic Party win snap Japanese Elections in a landslide.Ghanaian Highlife legend Ebo Taylor dies aged 90.Seattle Seahawks beat New England Patriots to win SB60.Jimmy Lai, Hong Kong pro-democracy figure, sentenced to 20 years in prison for national security offences.In Politics: (8:42) Peter Mandelson was always a snake but snaked a bit too much when he allegedly shared information with Jeffrey Epstein. As the Red Tories reel in the scandal, it must be acknowledged that maybe, just maybe, UK Politics is corrupted to the core. (Article by Alan Rusbridger) In Life: (24:50) Something I have been saying for years is that a war for water is coming. So let's drill into why and how soon it could happen. (Article By Peter Frankopan) In Film: (47:17) As a graduate of Film & Television, I pride myself on being able to consume the visual arts with a critical eye. So why the hell are film students now unable to do the one thing they need to do... Which is watch film??? (Article By Rose Horowitch)Lastly, in Photography: (1:02:43) I love a bit of Street Photography but I can understand that some forms of it are straight up invasive and creepy. So what's the level? Or should it all be chalked up to be art for art's sake? (Article By David M. M. Taffet) Thank you for listening!

WE STILL HAVE NO NAME... We spend most of this episode wrestling with what to name our new gallery space. The conversation moves through dozens of possibilities—from "Synchronicity" to "Room" to "Keyframe"—trying to find something that isn't pretentious, that wears well over time, and that captures the intersection between a photography gallery, Josh's furniture showroom, and a functional creative space. We talk about Star Wars naming, city names, and why the best names feel obvious once you hear them.Beyond the naming problem, we dig into what this space actually needs to be. Not a stark white-wall gallery, not a packed vintage shop, but something in between—a place that feels lived-in and functional while still formally presenting work. We discuss projectors versus CRT TVs, lighting strategies, and how to arrange furniture so the space encourages conversation rather than commerce. The bigger goal emerges: creating a scene in Omaha for street photographers and creative people, a place comparable to Warhol's Factory or the Neistat brothers' studio—somewhere work gets made because there's a community constantly pushing each other. We talk about curation philosophy, the difference between selling objects and presenting a way of seeing, and building trust with an audience by being selective about what gets shown. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

We talk through the unexpected opportunity to create a photography exhibition space in Omaha's Old Market. The conversation covers how a casual connection through vintage reselling led to subletting a space for three months—low financial risk, no formal contracts, just the chance to experiment. We discuss rejecting the traditional gallery model entirely: no price tags, no sales pressure, just a place for photographers to gather, show work, and build community.The episode explores the tension between excitement and anxiety that comes with actually doing something instead of just talking about it. We examine why this informal approach feels right—how the lack of commercial pressure creates freedom to experiment, try different exhibition ideas, and focus on creating experiences rather than moving product. The metaphysical alignment between collaborators, the value of physical gathering spaces, and standing at the threshold of something that could either fail quickly or turn into something unexpected. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

Michael Dressel macht Street Photography in den USA. Der gebürtige Ostberliner lebt seit den 80ern in Los Angeles und zeigt das Lebensgefühl seiner Landsleute in ungeschönten Portraits. Gegen die simplen Parolen von Trump setzt Dressel auf Realismus: „Das echte Leben ist ambivalent - genau wie gute Bilder!“

Ben Fractenberg, visuals editor for THE CITY, joins LIT NYC hosts Harry Siegel and Amy Sohn for a wide-ranging conversation about street photography, photo journalism and much more.The interview comes just before the opening reception for Ben's solo show, In Tension, this Friday evening from 6-9 at Gallery 198, at 198 24th St. in Brooklyn, with his work then on display there through November.

What does it mean to see like a street photographer? In this inspiring conversation, host Kersten Luts talks with renowned street photographer Nina Welch-Kling about how vision, intuition, and curiosity shape compelling street images. From her exhibitions in Germany to her walks through New York, Nina reveals how observation, patience, and emotional awareness help her find beauty in the everyday.Whether you're an amateur photographer learning composition, a professional refining your creative process, or someone exploring the business of photography, you'll gain valuable insight into connecting with your environment and subjects.

Photographer and visual storyteller Ilan Sánchez captures more than moments — he captures meaning. Through analog film photography, street portraits, and honest connection, his work explores how slowing down helps us truly see people, not just pass by them. From Mexico City to Oaxaca, Ilan builds community through art that gives back instead of taking, documenting culture, identity, and everyday life with intention. Born and raised in Oaxaca, he offers a rare local perspective on how the city's sudden global spotlight — from mezcal to design and tourism — is reshaping its creative and cultural landscape. This conversation dives deep into street photography, creative process, authenticity, and the future of art in a world that moves too fast.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/globetrotters-podcast--5023679/support.

Two and a half years after his first appearance, Chris returns to talk about leaving L.A. for New York, falling out of love with street photography, and rediscovering his voice through powerful documentary work. From photographing street basketball for 90 days to filming a one-handed Taekwondo athlete training for the Paralympics, this conversation dives deep into creative evolution, burnout, and what it really means to grow as an artist.More Chris: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/whoschrischu/⁠More Caleb: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/calebknueven/⁠More Jason: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/50_shades_of_jason/Business email: mamiyamigos@gmail.com

How often do you think beyond the photos you make to consider the larger purpose they serve—both for yourself and, ideally, for a wider audience? In today's show, we explore this idea while connecting the dots between picture making, process, and purpose. Our guides for this conversation are nature/landscape photographer and mountaineer Matt Payne, and street photographer, portraitist, and YouTube storyteller Sean Tucker. While Matt and Sean have widely different photographic specialties, they share much in common, from educational backgrounds in psychology to a profound commitment in using photography to find purpose in life. Taking Matt's 567-mile through-hike of the Colorado Trail as a jumping off point, we explore how balancing such a mammoth feat of endurance with a creative pursuit led him to look inward and see the world around him anew. Beyond the how of making pictures, we discuss the all-important why's of photography—from being more intentional in your image making to forging connections between learning and failure in order to grow creatively. By the end of this chat you'll gain valuable insights about living and working with intention in world oversaturated by social media—where digital fatigue is a valid concern, and AI looms on the horizon. As Sean Tucker notes, “We've been given this gift that can also be a poisoned chalice. And we each need to decide for ourselves how we want to use it, beyond the addictive qualities. We need to take some responsibility and say, ‘how much do I want this in my life so that it's useful? And where do I need to draw a line?'” Guests: Matt Payne & Sean Tucker Episode Timeline: 4:01: Matt talks about why he first started taking photos as an avid mountaineer, plus Sean describes his start and the first camera he had as a little boy. 8:52: Jung's concept of two halves to creativity—the morning and the afternoon of life—plus Sean's crisis point in his journey to making meaningful work. 15:06: Matt describes our modern addiction to dopamine and ways to become comfortable with introducing discomfort in your life. Plus, he looks back on his decision to focus full time on his photography two years after quitting his day job. 21:14: Knowing how you are wired and finding the place where your deep joy and the world's deep hunger meet to pump purpose into the universe. 26:36: Matt's 567-mile endurance hike of the Colorado Trail and how he balanced this with photography and creativity. 32:24: How to make sense of all the visual noise around you to become more intentional with your photography. 40:38: Episode Break 41:38: Find the magic by looking inward and asking yourself why you make the photos you do. 45:39: Sean's simple camera set up, which is infinitely better than gear that great photographers had access to 40 years ago. Plus, the creative tension between making a mess and maintaining consistency to progress in your work. 50:37: Sean describes the nuances that define his style of street photography and discovering a connection to Edward Hopper's paintings. 54:22: How to deal with creative slumps, places to look to for inspiration, plus making the space for new inspiration to come. 1:00:25: Making connections between learning and failure so to grow, plus digital fatigue and the desire to return to a pre-screentime era as an antidote to social media and AI. 1:10:06: How to remain relevant in today's saturated marketplace, and parting advice for using technology to promote your unique creative vision—make the work you want to see more of in the world.   Guest Bios: Matt Payne is a nature/landscape photographer based in Durango, Colorado. After connecting with nature first as a climber and mountaineer, his relationship shifted to photography. Nature has an innate beauty that doesn't need to be exaggerated, so he strives to capture landscapes in ways that are truthful and ethical. In 2017, Matt launched the podcast F-Stop Collaborate and Listen as a way to dive into meaningful conversations with other photographers and industry leaders about photography, ethics, and the challenges of rapid environmental change. He is also co-founder of Nature First Photography, an organization to help increase ethical awareness in nature photography and the Natural Landscape Photography Awards to celebrate nature photographers who dedicate themselves to photographing and editing their work in a realistic fashion. Having already summited all 100 of Colorado's Centennial Peaks, in 2023 Matt completed a 567-mile hike across the Colorado Trail for his current project, The Colorado Way: a Book of Mountains Trails and Growth. Featuring over 140 images and 25 essays, this book blends photography, storytelling, psychology, and wilderness to reflect on what it means to live with intention, resilience, and awe.

Born in the UK, Sean spent most of his formative years in Africa, where he served as a youth pastor in South Africa during his 20s. Although that role is now behind him, Sean still carries a fascination with psychology and spirituality, which he brings to discussions around creativity. As a photographer and filmmaker, he's been fortunate to tell visual stories for individuals, NGOs, and multinational corporations across more than 20 countries. He's also helped organizations set up in-house studios and trained them to tell their own compelling visual stories. More recently, Sean built a large following online, both on YouTube and Instagram, where he talks about the “why” behind the things we make, seeking to inspire people on their own creative journeys. In 2021, Sean published the book, The Meaning in the Making to further share his philosophy for living a creative life.   Stay Connected: Website: https://www.seantucker.photography/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/seantuck/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/seantuckerphoto/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@seantuck/    Credits: Host: Derek Fahsbender Senior Creative Producer: Jill Waterman Senior Technical Producer: Mike Weinstein Executive Producer: Richard Stevens

When photographer Frank Jackson first picked up a camera, he discovered more than a tool—he found a way to translate how he sees and feels the world. Known for his street photography and portraiture, Frank has built a career rooted in curiosity, observation, and a relentless drive to make work that is true to himself. His images often balance rawness and elegance, revealing moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed. For Frank, photography has always been about more than the subject in front of the lens. It's about the challenge of pushing beyond comfort zones, whether in the streets of Los Angeles or in the studio, to create photographs that resonate on a personal and universal level. Rather than conforming to trends or expectations, Frank continues to pursue his own evolving vision—one that speaks to the dignity, humor, and mystery of everyday life.

#590 In this episode of the podcast, I share a personal, behind-the-scenes look at what's been happening in my photographic life, focusing on one of the most common dilemmas photographers face: Should you repair a broken camera or upgrade to a newer model? After my Fujifilm X Pro 2 suddenly died while on a shoot, I walk listeners through the emotional and practical decision to spend $400 on repairs rather than buying a new camera. I talk candidly about why this choice isn't just about saving money—it's about honoring the sentimental attachment to a workhorse camera and making smart, needs-based decisions rather than getting distracted by shiny new gear.KEY TOPICS COVERED Repairing vs. Upgrading Your Camera - Raymond breaks down when it makes sense to repair a camera versus upgrading, suggesting repairs are usually worth it if they cost less than 30–40% of a new camera's price, especially when the current camera still meets your needs. He also touches on the sentimental value attached to long-serving equipment.The Role and Impact of Upgrading Gear - He examines whether new features truly benefit your workflow or if upgrades are driven by boredom or “shiny object syndrome.” Real improvements, he argues, should address specific workflow issues or unlock new creative possibilities.Creative Inspiration and Intentional Projects - Raymond describes how long-term, theme-driven personal projects—like documenting the Indiana State Fair—offer structure and cultivate deeper creativity. He shares techniques for using constraints to generate focus and learning.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSRepair/Upgrade Threshold: The decision guiding whether to repair gear based on whether costs are less than 30–40% of replacement value, contextualized in terms of need, features, and sentimental value.Creative Constraints: Deliberately limiting yourself to a theme, technique, or subject to focus your creative energy, avoid overwhelm, and produce more meaningful work.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSWhat has influenced your past decisions to repair or upgrade camera gear? How did those choices affect your creativity and output?How can creative constraints or themed projects deepen your photography and help you grow as an artist?In your own workflow, are there features you genuinely need in new gear, or are you tempted by upgrades for other reasons?How does stepping away from work to seek inspiration impact your creative process?Learn What Camera Settings to Use in our free guide!https://perfectcamerasettings.com/ Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

Send us a textIn this special episode of our podcast, we dive deep into the world of photography competitions, a topic we've touched on before but feel deserves further exploration given the current landscape. We are joined by a diverse panel of guests: Sam Ferris, Dave Cassini and Eduardo Ortiz, each bringing their unique perspectives and experiences with competitions.Sam shares insights from his experience running the Aussie Street competition, emphasising the importance of transparency and community engagement. Eduardo expresses his frustrations with the lack of transparency in many competitions, noting that the judging process often lacks clarity and fails to provide real value to participants. Dave, who straddles both the art and street photography worlds, shares his journey of entering competitions and the lessons learned along the way. He emphasises the importance of entering well-established competitions that offer genuine opportunities for exposure and community engagement, rather than those that seem to prioritize profit over participant experience.Ultimately, our conversation centers around the idea that while competitions can be beneficial, they must be approached with caution. We encourage our listeners to support competitions that prioritise community, transparency, and genuine engagement, while being wary of those that exploit the desire for recognition without offering meaningful returns.Sam FerrisDave CossiniEduardo OrtizFollow us on Instagram and leave us a review!

Mark shares his inspiring journey, beginning with his early days in Canada when he first discovered photography while traveling in Japan.

He discusses the creative advantages and excitement that come from unfamiliar environments and even a bit of discomfort or fear.Gear Choices and Minimalism - The benefits of packing light—such as bringing a single camera and prime lens—are highlighted, along with advice about travel safety, avoiding gear overload, and tailoring your kit to your creative needs.Creative Techniques for Captivating Travel Photos - Mark emphasizes using framing, foreground elements, and unique perspectives to avoid cliché photos and elevate your work. He discusses storytelling, engaging viewers' imaginations, and composing photos that invite longer reflection.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSForeground Element: An object or shape in the front of the image used to frame or partially obscure the subject, adding depth, intrigue, and composition interest.Slide Film: A type of photographic film producing direct positive transparency, requiring precise exposure and often used for projecting images; discussed as foundational to Mark's photographic education.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow does limiting your gear influence your creativity or challenge you on a shoot?What are some ways you can move beyond basic “snapshot” photography during your next trip?In what environments do you feel most creatively energized, and why?RESOURCES:Visit Mark Hemmings' Website - https://markhemmings.com/Follow Mark Hemmings on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/markhemmings/Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

When it comes to his iconic street portraits, Jamel Shabazz is all about building relationships and spreading joy. Yet, beyond the rich tapestry created with both the neighbors and strangers, friends and rivals he's encountered across New York's five boroughs, Jamel's most meaningful role might be that of a street teacher, touching the lives of the people in front of his lens and inviting them to mark their place in history. In today's podcast, we learn from the master while tracing his career path, from early observational learning at the side of his father—a professional photographer in his own right—to his first street portraits of classmates and friends. Jamel also shares how his singular vision was shaped by outside forces, including three years overseas in the Army and 20 years as a New York City corrections officer.  Incredibly, Jamel was able to take his camera along inside, and he describes the fine line he walked in our chat. “So, it was illegal,” he admits, “but I was known to have done it throughout my entire career. As time went on, I became known as that photographer within the department that photographed everybody. You know, the brass, the officers. And I gave everybody the photographs. So, yes, I killed them with kindness.” Guest: Jamel Shabazz Guest Bio: Jamel Shabazz is a documentary, fashion, and street photographer from Brooklyn, who has spent more than four decades capturing the cultural shifts and struggles of New York City through iconic photographs. His pictures have been exhibited worldwide, are permanently housed in prestigious institutions, and currently featured in nine monographs, along with more than three dozen other photo books. A recipient of the 2018 Gordon Parks Award and the Gordon Parks Foundation/Steidl book prize in 2022, Jamel is also dedicated to education, having instructed young students through programs at the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Schomburg Center, and the Bronx Museum. As a member of the Kamoinge photo collective and a board member of En Foco, Jamel's artistic mission remains centered on preserving urban history and culture through powerful, intimate portraits.   Stay Connected: Jamel Shabazz Website Jamel Shabazz Instagram Jamel Shabazz Facebook Jamel Shabazz Wikipedia Host: Derek Fahsbender Senior Creative Producer: Jill Waterman Senior Technical Producer: Mike Weinstein Executive Producer: Richard Stevens

As any established photographer will tell you, forging a career can be a long and arduous journey, with no instruction manual to guide you through the process. The lofty world of top-notch pros is often shrouded in mystery and full of things they don't teach in photo school. In today's show, we get to peek behind the scenes of this complex, and often chaotic environment in a chat with two colleagues who've found a way to balance their freelance careers as independent creators with lucrative work assisting in a high-profile photo studio. Listen in, to learn how a casual job application through LinkedIn landed Mike Foley an interview, ultimately resulting in a salaried role as first assistant to a world-class portrait photographer. While technical mastery counts for a lot, we discuss the critical importance of soft skills like personality and work ethic to success in such environments. We also distinguish between salaried full-time work and more common freelance roles, and the juggling required to coordinate the complex planning involved.  As freelance lighting assistant (and longtime café owner) Alex Savidis admits, “the juggle becomes quite hard at times, but I think it's a necessity, especially when you're trying to pursue something that you're passionate about. You can't just become a successful photographer overnight. It takes years to build up to that.” Guests: Mike Foley & Alex Savidis Episode Timeline: 2:57: Mike Foley describes heirloom portraiture as his bespoke brand of portrait with the ability to last a lifetime. 5:10: The backstory to Mike getting hired as a photo assistant for a world class portrait photographer. 11:25: The personality and skill set needed to work in a high-end photo studio, Alex's take on being added to the team, plus the various roles within the studio. 17:30: The role of a B-cam operator to capture the finer details of a video shoots, plus an overview of a typical shoot day. 23:05: Mike talks about the video work in his portfolio as a differentiating factor in his getting the assisting job. 28:23: The work structure and expectations for photo assistants, from freelance to salaried positions, plus discussion about length of tenure. 34:50: Episode Break 35:55: Memorable stories from the studio—from the largest two-day shoot with a crew of 150, to the core personnel involved in work-a-day shoots. 42:28: NDA's and the etiquette of what an assistant is able to share when dealing with high-end clients. 46:30: The growing acceptance of photographers who do freelance work and juggle regular 9-5 jobs with photo assignments.   52:07: Learning outcomes from working in a world class portrait studio, and the mindset to hold yourself to a higher standard. 57:49: Mike and Alex share advice for budding photographers based on what they've learned from working in a world-class photo studio.   Guest Bios:  Mike Foley is a New York City-based photographer specializing in heirloom portraiture and editorial photography. After starting out photographing weddings and small events, Mike quickly grew into commercial work, providing clients with timeless images they can use to elevate their visual presence and define their brand. His approach behind the camera is warm and humanistic, allowing his subjects the space to be themselves. In addition to his own photo services, Mike is currently content manager and digital designer for an internationally renowned portrait photographer. On set, he serves as first assistant and B-camera operator, while also providing on-set and post-production support behind the scenes for clients like Balenciaga, New York Magazine, and many more. Australian native Alex Savidis is passionate about storytelling through both still and moving imagery. Based in New York since 2020, he pushes creative boundaries by merging elements from his street and landscape photography into his portraiture & wedding work, weaving memories into art. For the past year and a half, Alex has also worked as lighting assistant and B cam operator in the same high-profile portrait studio as Mike, catering to world-renowned clients and political leaders. On B cam, it's his job to focus on finer details and provide viewers with a deeper, more intimate perspective on a given subject, capturing nuances that enhance the storytelling. Additionally, when he's not juggling camera gear or fine-tuning lights, you can find Alex behind the counter of the café Regular NYC in southern Manhattan, an establishment he founded in early 2024.
