EP97 The Graphistudio Live Lounge – Interview With Jeremy Price
Things are definitely looking up! Today, I had my vaccine, and I cannot help but think things are (gradually) appearing more positive. At the end of the day, vaccines are the only way out of the pandemic, so i...
EP96 Don’t Let Habit Hold You Back!
Photographers – or, more precisely, photography trainers – talk about muscle memory – creating habit and comfort in what you do. But have you ever thought it might hold you back? In this caffeine-fueled, ble...
EP95 “Evolve Or Evaporate” – Interview With Wedding Photographer Sanjay Jogia
In this interview, I get a chance to talk with the incredible photographer, Sanjay Jogia. To quote from Canon’s website (he is a Canon Ambassador): Sanjay Jogia is one of the world’s most decorated wedding p...
EP94 Stop Being Your Own Personal Troll!
Ever wondered if you’re your own worst enemy? Your very own, personal, TROLL? Well, stop it at once! It really isn’t helping! I mention a couple of things in this podcast – here are the links for the curious...
EP93 It Doesn’t Matter HOW You Do It!
So why do people think it’s OK to criticise HOW you do something? In this episode, I am more or less muttering about something that is prevalent in our industry: snobbishness about how you create your images ra...
EP92 We Are Human ‘Beings’, Not Human ‘Doings’ – An Interview With Trevor Long PhD
In a podcast last year, I lamented that I had lost a little mojo – the penalty for having a massively busy season prior to that. This triggered a couple of threads of conversation, one of which is this intervi...
EP91 Happy New Year? Let’s Hope So!
I think I recorded the previous episode on a cold, crisp day. Well, the cold has remained, but instead of ‘crisp’ it is now grey, gloomy and damp (though quite how it is still damp when the temperature is hover...
EP90 Why Do We Take Pictures Anyway?
This question was asked by our model on a recent masterclass: “Why do you take pictures?” she enquired of me and our attendee. I suspect a pro, and an amateur may give slightly different answers but it’s a simp...
EP89 Steering A Covid Course – Taking Control Of All That I Can
Well, it’s only gone and happened again: we’re back in lockdown from this Thursday. Finding out on a Saturday night that you have five working days left in what is normally the busiest month of the year, is no...
EP88 How Thinking Like A Musician Can Help Your Images
In this episode we look at ways of seeing your images as your clients will. When I used to work in recording studios, we would dump a copy of the music track onto cassette (yes I am that old) and walk it out i...
EP87 The More You Learn The Less You Know
Well this is one of those catchup episodes (I have discovered that our studio microwave has a grill!), but it also deals with one of those odd bits of human nature: that as you develop your talents and...
EP86 Interview With Kate Nicolle, Relationship Counsellor
I don’t know quite what inspired me for this podcast, but I thought it would be interesting (and so it proved to be) to invite someone onto the podcast that really does understand relationships and the language ...
Just found your podcast, and I really enjoyed the few episodes I have listened to so far. Truly, other than the History of Photography 101, it is the first photography podcast I have been able to make it through one whole episode, let alone multiple episodes….it resonates with me….have just had a cursory look at the website and I look forward to exploring it!
Thank you so much Teri! When I started the podcast it was just me an’ a microphone as a way of talking about the stresses of running a portrait photography business. Funnily enough it’s still just me an’ a microphone…
It’s still a surprise that people seem to enjoy it and I am so happy that it’s useful. Thank thank, thank you, thank you for your lovely feedback!
So it had to happen. After all, remember “Downton Abbey” and “Game of Thrones”? My strategy has always been to give a program/blog/podcast a few years to prove itself and then jump in and binge watch years of content. But then it comes to an end…I’m caught up and have to wait for the next episode like, well, “common people”. I’m 72 and I don’t wait really well. After months of having Paul Wilkinson accompany me on my morning walk, I miss the guy. It didn’t make any difference if it was just us with Paul musing on his… Read more »
Robert that is the nicest review of the podcast ever! Thank you! I am trying to keep the episodes coming, but, well, real life and dealing with the lockdown have slowed things a little. New episodes coming though! Hang on in there and thank you again!
