In this episode, I get to chat with the guy behind the software behind the business – Light Blue Software. We’ve used this software for over a decade and it is the one application that each of us here is guaranteed to log into every single day. Tom asked if I would help spread the word about an offer that …
So, how are things with you? Still in lockdown? Well we are here – just trying to make the best of things. Anyway, good news (for me at least!): we’ve been listed as the top Portrait Photography Podcast on Feedspot (https://blog.feedspot.com/portrait_photography_podcasts/) which is lovely! I only started this podcast for fun (and because I simply love audio nearly as much …
Still here, still in lockdown, still working like crazy to make sure we’re ready for when things eventually open up again, as they must, inevitably do. Right now, things are busy: we’re re-designing our website and rebuilding a platform for our portfolio – a wonderful opportunity to go through images old and new and to decide which images we’ll use …
How is everyone doing? I have to be honest, I am finding it all a little surreal – if it weren’t so catastrophic it would be fascinating: from the chaotic economy to the psychology of being interned in your own home, I would love to be reading about this in the history books rather than living through it. However, life …
Well, in just one week things have changed incredibly rapidly! But we’re stocked up, we have each other and we are staying positive. Together we can get through this thing. So, for a while at least, the podcast will be shorter and (hopefully) more frequent. That way I might just be able to keep up with the latest news! Stay …
During a conversation the other day, a visiting photographer to the studio passed a comment about the frames he displayed in the entrance to his own studio. This one, short, passing comment, led me to the obvious observation that first impressions count. And, importantly, you cannot have a second go at it. But everyone knows that right? Of course. So …
It’s so lovely to be in the position to sit and chat with some incredible people – and that they agree to it when I ask! This episode is with Gary Hill – a fantastic photographer, trainer, judge and all-round lovely bloke. Admittedly we were chatting in the bar of the SWPP Convention in London which does inject a kind …
Where have all our teaspoons gone? Seriously. They just seem to evaporate from the studio! Soon we’ll be using the handle of a knife to stir the coffee around here! But that’s not really the topic of the podcast – in this podcast, a budding photographer from Glasgow emailed some questions and so I thought it would be a good …
I’ve just returned from the Societies Of Photographers Convention in London which has been an absolute ball! Though I admit, I am hurting just a little. A week of laughter and learning. And maybe just a little socialising. Having sat as one of the print competition judges once again, I thought it might be helpful to relay some of the …
Relating to your client is a key skill in social photography – and there is no escaping it. Whatever it takes, you need to find ways of having a meaningful conversation even if you’re client is (literally) a rocket scientist! Right now I am sitting at the 2020 Societies Of Photographers Convention, typing this in the hotel bar, watching photographers …
