Jason and Krystal take you behind the scenes of the Charlotte and Knoxville workshops! From lighting models through the slats of a mule barn with continuous LEDs to transforming a shuttered country bar into a cinematic playground using flash, fans, and modifiers, This episode is packed with practical photography lessons and unforgettable road stories.  Hear how the MagMod gear helped shape the shoots, how workshop attendees learned to adapt when the "perfect" gear wasn't available, and why turning a monolight into a constant light source can save the day.Along the way, there was an impromptu brake replacement in an AutoZone parking lot, a mosquito-infested posing session in Knoxville, a two-light flash setup that lit up an entire forest, and a nighttime LED shoot in front of the iconic Tennessee Theatre while fending off curious scooter riders determined to get Krystal's attention.The road trip wraps up with great sushi, great memories, and a look ahead to San Francisco, an upcoming Iceland scouting trip, and the next round of Mini Masterclasses coming soon to the Pacific Northwest and beyond.Real Talk. Raw Stories. No B.S.

What if the biggest thing holding your photography back isn't your camera, lens, or lighting—but your ability to read people?In this episode of Jason Lanier Unfiltered, Jason and Krystal recap the first stop of the Mini Masterclass Tour in Pensacola, Florida and dive deep into one of the most overlooked skills in portrait photography: understanding human body language.Too many photographers become obsessed with settings, gear, and technical perfection while completely missing the signals their subjects are sending. Is your subject comfortable? Nervous? Unsure? Losing confidence? The answers are often written all over their face and body long before they ever say a word.Jason and Krystal discuss how learning to read posture, eye contact, facial expressions, movement, and energy can transform an average portrait session into an unforgettable experience.They share real-world examples from the Pensacola workshop, including how to get a shoot started with shy subjects, how to keep momentum flowing, why storytelling creates authentic emotion, and the critical difference between directing a subject and simply asking for permission.The conversation also covers:Why photographers often struggle during the first five minutes of a shoot.How men and women frequently approach portrait sessions differently.Reading confidence versus discomfort in real time.Building trust quickly with subjects.Using communication to create genuine expressions.Why great portrait photographers are often great people readers.Lessons learned while shooting in Pensacola's historic Seville Quarter District.Lighting techniques using the Godox AD300 Pro, LEDs, vintage vehicles, and environmental lighting.If you've ever wondered why some photographers consistently create authentic, emotional portraits while others struggle to get natural expressions, this episode may completely change the way you approach your next shoot.Because the best portrait photographers don't just understand light.They understand people.#JasonLanierUnfiltered #PortraitPhotography #BodyLanguage #PhotographyPodcast #PhotographyEducation #PortraitPhotographer #PhotographerLife #PhotographyWorkshop #MiniMasterclass #PensacolaPhotography #HumanConnection #StorytellingPhotography #PosingTips #PhotographyBusiness #GodoxAD300Pro #PortraitTips #CreativePhotography #PhotographerMindset #PhotographyTraining #FedoraNation

Photographer Michelle Arcila joined me at the JKC Gallery to discuss the process of making incredibly personal work that involves family and trauma and who that work might be for. We also talk about photographing your family, especially your children, and how to find the balance between exploring a painful narrative in the work while protecting those you are photographing from your past experiences.https://www.michellearcila.nethttps://www.instagram.com/michelle.arcila/Michelle Arcila is a Costa Rican/American photographer living and working in Brooklyn, New York. She graduated from the School of Visual Arts in 2002 with a BFA in photography. Her work primarily focuses on family lore, motherhood, bicultural identity, and ancestral trauma. Her photographs have been exhibited and published both nationally and internationally; they also appear in a number of private collections. In 2012, after the birth of her first daughter, she took a hiatus from commercial work. During that time she was able to really start exploring how the work she was creating related to not only her experience of growing up in the United States as a first generation American; which came with the feeling of not feeling from here and not feeling from there (“No soy de aquí, no soy de allá.”) and how that sentiment played into her role as a mother and perhaps how all of this combined has affected her mental health struggles. She is the recipient of the Photowork 2025 Fellowship and was shortlisted for the PHMuseum 2025 Women's Grant. She currently divides her time between the Hudson Valley and Brooklyn, NY, where she lives with her husband and two daughters.This podcast is sponsored by the Charcoal Book Club - Begin Building your dream photobook library today at:https://charcoalbookclub.com

Photography Historian and Curator Audrey Sands joins PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf to discuss her book, Lisette Model: The Jazz Pictures (Eakins Press Foundation). Drawing on years of research, Sands presents Lisette Model's rarely seen archive of photographs of 1950s jazz legends, including Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Percy Heath, Miles Davis, and Dizzy Gillespie. Sands and Wolf discuss the rise of fine art photography as a collectible medium in the latter half of the 20th century, the role of museums and institutions in shaping the narrative of photographic history, and the role of the historian in editing and interpreting an artist's work posthumously. https://harvardartmuseums.org/about/press-media/audrey-sands-appointed-associate-curator-of-photography-at-the-harvard-art-museums https://www.instagram.com/audreyleesands/  Audrey Sands is a historian of photography and curator who specializes in twentieth-century American photography.. She holds a Ph.D. and M.Phil. in the History of Art from Yale University, an M.St. in the History of Art and Visual Culture from the University of Oxford, and a B.A. in Art History from Barnard College. Since February 2025, Sands has served as the Richard L. Menschel Associate Curator of Photography at the Harvard Art Museums, where she oversees a collection of approximately 75,000 photographs and time-based media ranging from the early 19th century to the present. Her appointment followed a postdoctoral fellowship as Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Curatorial Fellow in the Department of Photographs at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. (2022–25), during which she contributed to the exhibitions Gordon Parks: Camera Portraits from the Corcoran Collection (2024–25) and the multi-venue Photography and the Black Arts Movement, 1955–1985 (2025–26). Prior to the NGA, from 2019 to 2022, Sands held the Norton Family Assistant Curator of Photography position at the Center for Creative Photography (CCP), University of Arizona—a joint appointment with Phoenix Art Museum—where her exhibitions included Freedom Must Be Lived: Marion Palfi's America, 1940–1978 (2021–22) and Farewell Photography: The Hitachi Collection of Postwar Japanese Photographs, 1961–1989 (2022). Earlier curatorial positions include the Department of Photographs at The Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the J. Paul Getty Museum. Sands has been the lead scholar on the work of photographer Lisette Model for over a decade, beginning with her Yale dissertation, “Lisette Model and the Inward Turn of Photographic Modernism.” Her most recent publication, Lisette Model: The Jazz Pictures (Eakins Press Foundation, 2025), realized a suppressed collaboration between Model and Langston Hughes that had been shelved during the McCarthy era, publishing for the first time nearly 200 of Model's approximately 1,500 jazz negatives alongside Hughes's original essay and new scholarship by Sands. Her ongoing research on flash photography—supported by a 2021 Curatorial Research Fellowship from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts—is developing toward a publication and exhibition titled The Shape of Light: History, Ethics, and Aesthetics of Flash Photography.

As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the Constitution remains the most consequential document in American life — and more people are reading it than ever. But pick up almost any commercial edition and you'll find the same thing: small type, no imagery, nothing that invites you in. Jessie McGuire noticed this too. Find bonus content and more on our Substack: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/jessie-mcguire Every copy her studio ordered looked identical — dense, utilitarian, forgettable. So they redesigned it. They printed thousands of copies, donated them to New York City schools, and invited designers like Milton Glaser and Seymour Chwast to create posters for each amendment in the Bill of Rights. That project became a turning point — not just for the studio, but for how they think about what design is actually for. Jessie is Managing Partner of Thought Matter, the independent design and creative studio that just won the 2026 National Design Award for Communication Design from the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum — the field's highest national honor. It's an award that recognizes not a single project but a decade of practice, and Thought Matter's practice has been built around a bold idea: that imagination is a radical act. A Salvadoran-American designer, New Yorker, and mother of two, Jessie brings a perspective shaped by navigating spaces that weren't always designed for her. She teaches entrepreneurship at Pratt, mentors emerging designers, and leads a studio that works with cultural institutions, nonprofits, and commercial brands — all grounded in the belief that design is civic infrastructure, a tool for helping people see themselves as participants in shaping the world around them. In this episode, Jessie talks about the origin of the Constitution project, what it means to fund the work you actually want to talk about, why she thinks scale and speed aren't serving us, and why sitting down to make something with your hands — like the beaded bracelets she makes with her kids — still matters. Bio Jessie McGuire is Managing Partner of Thought Matter, the independent design studio that won the 2026 National Design Award for Communication Design from Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum — the field's highest national honor. She leads the studio's strategy and long-term vision, working with cultural institutions, nonprofits, and commercial brands on work grounded in the belief that design shapes what people believe. A Salvadoran-American designer and mother, Jessie is committed to expanding who gets to lead in the design industry. She teaches entrepreneurship at Pratt Institute, lectures on design as civic infrastructure, and mentors emerging designers. Before Thought Matter, she worked in-house at Kimberly-Clark and led projects for multinational brands. She holds a BFA from Pratt Institute and an MPS in Branding from the School of Visual Arts. *** Premium Episodes on Design Better This ad-supported episode is available to everyone.

This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,053, May 26, 2026. Today's theme is, "How Photography Can Help Us Appreciate the Good Things in Life." I'm Derrick Story. We've talked a lot about the value of taking pictures of those who are important to us. But what about everything else? If you browsed my photo catalog, you'd see a lot of simple things that might cause you to ask, "Why did he take a picture of that?" I will answer that question, and more, on today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.

Send us Fan MailMy guest today is Caroline Woods, author of The Lunar Housewife, listed in the Visual Arts category on Art In Fiction.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/0nJmxXJcrQQHow Caroline discovered the CIA's secret program to fund and shape American literary culture during the Cold War, including its involvement in the founding of the Paris Review, and why she saw a novel in it.The real-life women who inspired Louise: the aspiring writers and girlfriends surrounding the men at the center of the 1950s New York literary scene, and the female journalist who eventually broke the story decades later.The novel within a novel structure: why Louise's book had to be science fiction, how its chapters shift as Louise's disillusionment deepens, and the freedom of writing a melodramatic '50s romance as an "implied author" who isn't Caroline.The Hemingway interview at the heart of the book, based on Lillian Ross's real New Yorker profile, and how Hemingway, who is portrayed here as a kind of fairy godmother to Louise, inadvertently became Caroline's writing coach for the whole novel.Class tension in the 1950s literary world: why Louise's working-class origins matter in a scene dominated by Harvard and Yale men, and what that gave her as a character and as someone for readers to root for.How the title came about -- originally The Long Leash, the CIA's own term for the program -- and why her agent's suggestion of The Lunar Housewife did so much more work for the book.Writing The Lunar Housewife in spring 2020, during COVID lockdown, with a four-year-old and a one-year-old, writing after bedtime every night, and why that particular moment gave the lunar colony chapters their flavor.Why the 1950s is having a moment in historical fiction: the scrim of conformity and domestic bliss concealing postwar darkness, the seeds of the counterculture, and women who had tasted wartime freedom and had it yanked back.The common thread across Caroline's novels -- The Mesmerist, For All the Moons, and The Lunar Housewife -- women who question the status quo and push against systems, often in the face of government interference in private life.Caroline's advice to writers: write every single day (not just on Saturdays), and write what genuinely entertains you because if you're having fun, the reader will feel it.Reading from the opening pages of The Lunar Housewife: the launch party for Downtown magazine's second issue.Read more about Caroline Woods on her website: https://www.carolinewoodsauthor.com/Are you enjoying The Art In Fiction Podcast?

Send us Fan MailMy guest today is Aimie K. Runyan, author of Mademoiselle Eiffel, listed in the Visual Arts category on Art In Fiction.View the video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/_JcFmRQ4PcQWhy Aimie chose to write about Claire Eiffel rather than her more famous father, and the surprising role Claire played in running Gustave's household, social life, and business from the age of 14.The wax figure of Claire at the top of the Eiffel Tower, alongside Gustave and Thomas Edison, and the historical meeting it commemorates.How clothing functions as armor and identity in the novel, particularly Claire's corset as a symbol of constraint reframed as protection in a world not built for ambitious women.The invisible female labor at the heart of the story, and what Claire sacrificed, including her art and her choice of husband, to secure her place at her father's side.The opposition to the Eiffel Tower from artists, architects, and Gustave's own friend Garnier, and what the contrast between the Opéra Garnier and the tower reveals about two competing visions of modernity.Aimie's research trips to Paris and the Musée d'Orsay archives, where the Eiffel family correspondence, party menus, and letters from admirers have been preserved since 1981.What Aimie gained by returning to the archives after the story was already written.The Panama Canal scandal, Gustave's complicated legacy, and why writing through Claire's adoring lens required Aimie to be deliberately even-handed with a man who was "no more of a villain than your average rich man used to getting his own way."The oldest daughter narrative and why Claire's story resonates today, including a frank conversation about the undervaluing of women's labor and the difference between "emotional labor" and plain old mental load.Aimie's advice to writers on research: travel if you can, use Google Earth if you can't, never hesitate to contact museum curators, and know that one good research trip can fuel three books.Reading from the scene in Portugal where 14-year-old Claire organizes a workers' dinner and earns her first public acknowledgment from her father.Read more about Aimie K.

Heather Wald joins Marnie to talk about the role the Visual Arts team plays in creating the various visual aspects of what we see in worship on Sunday morning and Wednesday night, because worship is designed to be experienced by all our senses. Heather walks through the different colors representing each church season throughout the year (think of it as our own holy rainbow connection). And, for some reason, Heather thinks that show-and-tell will somehow work in a podcast format.

Aufgewachsen in Inning am Ammersee und von der Underground-Szene ihrer zeitweiligen Wahlheimat Bristol geprägt, erschafft Molly Mogul in ihrer Kunst ein Hybrid aus Musik, Theater, Tanz und Visual Art, über das der Musikexpress schrieb: "Die Allround-Künstlerin (…) weiß auf jeden Fall, wie man Bilder erzeugt – ob nun mit dem Pinsel oder eben mit raumausfüllenden Synthesizern, die gerne mal so lang nachhallen wie in einer Tropfsteinhöhle." Mit "A Bouquet Of Hopes And Dreams" veröffentlichte sie vor Kurzem ihr Debütalbum.

This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,051, May 12, 2026. Today's theme is, "Traversing the Canadian Rockies." I'm Derrick Story. There was one moment, while immersed in the magnificence of the Icefields Parkway, I realized I had never seen anything like this before, not even in Alaska.

In November of 2025, I took one of the most unforgettable journeys of my life.  Finally visiting Egypt. From standing in the shadow of the Great Pyramids to photographing ancient temples under the stars, this adventure was so much more than a photography trip. It was a reminder of how small we are in the timeline of humanity, and how powerful it is to experience places that have stood for thousands of years.In this podcast episode,The adventure started with being the Keynote Speaker at the Creo Expo in Alexandria and then moved to the Capital city of Cairo.I'm sharing the highs, the chaos, the moments behind the camera, the lessons learned, and the stories most people never get to hear. Traveling and photographing Egypt challenged me creatively, physically, emotionally, and spiritually in ways I never expected.If you've ever dreamed of traveling the world with your camera, stepping outside your comfort zone, or experiencing history in a way books can't teach you… this episode is for you.Sometimes the greatest photographs come after the greatest adventures.#Egypt #PhotographyPodcast #TravelPhotography #JasonLanier #AdventurePhotography #PyramidsOfGiza #PhotographerLife #BehindTheLens #CreativeJourney #TravelAdventure #StreetPhotography #AncientEgypt #PhotographyEducation #WorldTraveler #PodcastEpisode #PhotographyLife #ExploreTheWorld #VisualStorytelling #TravelStories #Photographers

HT2612 - Photography and the Visual Arts One of the biggest mistakes of my youth was focusing my efforts exclusively on photography and ignoring the other visual arts. By defining myself so narrowly as "a photographer," I have missed so many opportunities to see and study other visual media. How can we be photographers and not be interested in etchings, pen and ink drawings, wood block prints, linoleum cuts, and of course painting?

On Friday's show: We take a closer look at the forecast for heavy rain in Greater Houston throughout the day and into tonight as a Stage 1 flood alert has been issued. Eric Berger of Space City Weather brings us the latest details.And we learn about the latest of several HISD school officials appointed by the state to lead a district undergoing a state takeover, this time for Beaumont ISD.Also this hour: What does it mean to live between identities — and who decides where you belong? Houston artist Melissa Aytenfisu talks about Othered, a new exhibit at Bisong Art Gallery exploring the experiences of biracial individuals through more than 30 mixed-media portraits.Then, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.And two members of the classical ensemble Trio Menil discuss their music and perform for us. The group will perform a concert called Past, Present, Premiere, which spotlights Asian American and Pacific Islander composers, on Sunday, May 3, at 2 p.m. at Asia Society Texas.Watch

Art-making isn't a vibe. It's a practice that can feel exhausting, confusing, and sometimes flat-out miserable, yet we still wake up wanting to go back. We sit with a blunt question that every working artist eventually faces: what is making art giving us even when it doesn't feel good?We start by de-romanticizing the work through Hugo Winder-Lind's reminder that painting doesn't always feel good, especially now that artists are expected to be multi-faceted creators. From there we get honest about envy, creative cycles, and the kindness we owe other artists when they're in the ditch. We also call out the social media highlight reel, the edited two minutes that hides the seven hours of staring, failing, quitting, and starting again.Then we move into what the studio actually gives back. Mark Bradford frames labor as a way to slow down until you can hear yourself think and reach the quieter voice with the better idea. Sheila Hicks adds the bigger frame: discovery is part of being alive, so hang in there because you never know what the next discovery might be. Along the way we talk logistics, perfectionism, routines that prime the pump, excluding distractions so actions match goals, and Noel W. Anderson shares why the studio nourishes us in ways we can't fully explain.If you've been stuck, burned out, or questioning why you keep doing this, hit play.

Allison Janae Hamilton is an artist and filmmaker whose newest short film, Venus of Ossabaw, premiered this March at Telfair Museums' Jepson Center in Savannah. Allison is widely known for her immersive, land-centered practice that treats landscape not as backdrop, but as a central protagonist shaped by memory, labor, myth and climate. Across sculpture, photography and multi-channel film, her work traces the social and environmental histories embedded in the American South, particularly as they relate to Black life and womanhood. Her visual language is informed by her powerful ability to weave ancestral narratives with urgent contemporary questions of climate and justice. Venus of Ossabaw marks a significant evolution in Hamilton's practice. The newly commissioned film centers on the history of marronage—the formation of self-sustaining communities by people who escaped enslavement—through the fictional figure of Venus, who journeys across Ossabaw Island and neighboring Sea Islands off the Georgia coast.

What do you do when the industry you built your career in starts to disappear? In this episode, I sit down with Paul Gero to break down what it really takes to pivot, adapt, and survive as a professional photographer in a rapidly changing world.Paul's journey began in the high-pressure world of photojournalism at the Chicago Tribune and continued through agencies like Sygma and publications including Arizona Republic, Time, People, and Sports Illustrated, industries that once defined success for photographers, but have since dramatically shifted or declined.Instead of fading with them, Paul reinvented himself. We dive into how he transitioned into wedding photography, built a new business model, authored books like Digital Wedding Photography and Mastering Digital Wedding Photography, and expanded into education and purpose-driven work like The Kids of Orange County, supporting Children's Hospital of Orange County.This episode isn't just a career retrospective, it's a blueprint. We talk about recognizing industry decline, leveraging transferable skills, building new revenue streams, and staying relevant when everything around you changes. Whether you're a photographer facing uncertainty or a creative looking to evolve, this conversation will challenge you to rethink what's possible.

Earlier this week, tickets went on sale for the 42nd season of An Appalachian Summer Festival, an annual celebration of the performing and visual arts is held every July in venues across the Appalachian State University campus, featuring an eclectic, diverse mix of music, dance, theatre, visual arts and film programming. This five-week series brings world renowned artists across multiple genres to Boone and the High Country at a highly popular time for summer tourism engagement, which provides a predictable and impactful annual economic benefit to the region.On this week's Mind Your Business, we visit with Allison West, Director of Marketing for App State's Office of Arts Engagement and Cultural Resources.

She built one of the first podcasts in the world.She turned down the CEO job after twenty years.And she wants you to ask yourself one question: if not now, when?In this episode of Truth Works, Jessica Neal and co-host Peter Clarke sit down with Debbie Millman, the founder and host of Design Matters, the longest-running design podcast in the world, now in its twentieth year. Over two decades, Debbie has interviewed more than 700 of the world's most creative people, written eight books, and shaped some of the biggest consumer brands on the planet, including Burger King, Häagen-Dazs, Star Wars, Tropicana and the No More campaign. She co-founded the world's first Masters in Branding program at the School of Visual Arts, is President Emeritus of AIGA, and in 2024 was named an Executive Fellow at Harvard Business School.This conversation goes way deeper than the résumé. Debbie talks about failing as an artist, writer, and designer before stumbling into branding by accident. She explains why she turned down the CEO offer at Sterling Brands. She shares what hundreds of interviews have taught her about confidence, insecurity, and reinvention. And she gets refreshingly clear-eyed about AI, and what it is quietly doing to the next generation's brains.TOPICS COVEREDFailing as an artist, writer and designer before finding brandingBecoming the rainmaker at Interbrand and Sterling BrandsWhy she turned down the CEO offer after four months of deliberationHow Design Matters began in 2005 as a paid internet radio showWhat hundreds of interviews taught her about insecurity and legacyCareer advice for creatives and knowing your value propositionMarrying Roxane Gay and acquiring The Rumpus togetherWriting Love Letter to a GardenWhy AI should have a drinking ageThe one question she now asks herself every day: if not now, when?What makes this episode hit differently is not the résumé. It is the reminder that even the most accomplished people on the planet built their lives the same way the rest of us have to, one brave decision at a time, often with no clue what was coming next. Debbie's story is proof that reinvention is always available, that confidence is built and never gifted, and that the best chapters of a life can absolutely come after sixty. If you take one thing from this conversation, let it be her question. Whatever you have been waiting to start, finish, or finally claim as yours, ask yourself honestly: if not now, when?

This is The Digital Story Podcast 1,045, March 31, 2026. Today's theme is, "Why I Revisited Crop Sensor Mode on a Full Frame Camera." I'm Derrick Story. An APS-C sensor isn't exactly chopped liver, right? And it becomes even more alluring when it's extending the reach of your telephoto by 1.5X, and with no light loss! But you do lose a bit of resolution, and that was a speed bump for me. But I'm over it! And I'll explain why, plus industry news, in today's TDS Photography Podcast. I hope you enjoy the show.
