Episode 339



 In this week’s podcast, we dive into some ideas around how to increase the success rate behind the camera so that you have more images to work with on your various projects. For many of us, coming home from a shoot with lots of photographs can be a challenge to sort and work with in a meaningful way. Having a plan and idea of what matters, awareness behind the camera, and organizing around multiple concepts can all lead to better success in our images. I hope that with some of the ideas presented this week, you can find your work behind the camera quickly starts to meet your expectations for what you wanted when you pressed the shutter.

In episode 481 of the Perceptive Photographer, we dig into the different sides of distractions and how they can be both a benefit sometimes and a negative other times. Using examples like peaking at the back of the camera, over preparedness and should and coulds of photography, I discuss how so much of what we are distracted by take us out of the moment of connection behind the camera. That connection should be our goal, so I invite you to revisit and reconsider how you approach your things that seem to distract you in your work.

Importance of good customer service


In episode 479, the podcast delves into the idea of launching a camera club, exploring its potential members and the methods of discussing photography. In focusing on diversity of interests and backgrounds they may bring to the table, we can start to understand more about what we need from our photographic practice.. Additionally, I discuss the approaches to how photographs are discussed within the club setting, considering varying perspectives and approaches. In my club, the idea of and an inclusive environment where members can freely express their opinions and insights on photography to better understand who they are as photographers would win out over any contest.

What would your camera club be?

Evolution, revolution and rants


Hey everyone, Daniel Gregory here. In this episode, we're diving into the topic of resistance and how it can seriously mess with our creative flow. I'll be sharing some personal insights on how resistance shows up in different ways and what we can do to push through it. We'll talk about how resistance can actually serve a purpose, but also how it can hold us back from embracing change and trying new things. I'll also touch on how to overcome resistance when it comes to our photography work and how to find joy in the process again. Plus, we'll explore the idea of having multiple priorities can be a good thing, and how stubbornness can be a major creativity killer.
