Hey there,  AI-Snappers
Look, our industry is changing fast, largely due to developments in AI. Computers can now edit for us, and even cull for us! But is this a good thing? Is it ethical to have an AI system edit our photos? Is the quality the same? Listen in to hear our take on things. In this episode full of ranty goodness we also discuss Greg's coming storm-chasing adventure, heavy metal festivals, and how long after a wedding you should be delivering your photos.

Hey hey! Today we chat about a pretty dumb Lightroom glitch where the image doesn't skip when you want it to - and through our own testing we might've found a workaround! Tom also gets hustled by a Facebook Marketplace user - but Big T get the last laugh. We also chat more about the a9iii... what a beast!

Episode 159: Have you experienced this Lightroom glitch?

Hi Snappers

In 159 Greg and Thom discuss a big shift in mindset when it comes to shooting weddings: that of shooting fewer portraits, and allocating less portrait time, and placing more emphasis on documenting the day as a whole, and shooting more like a photojournalist. 
Thom has also discovered the G.O.A.T of Lightroom shortcut key software: PowerKeys!

158: Less portraits, more photojournalism

Yo yo! So Tom has a pretty savage road kill story that kinda kills the mood... then Greg tries to salvage it with a workflow epiphany. No matter how hard we try to talk about things unrelated to photography we keep seeming to make them link back to photo stuff!

157: Tom has a road kill story and Greg talks workflows

Greetings, Snappers

Today's episode has some SERIOUS thicc topics and some mega deep cuts! 

First, we chat about FloGate - Pixieset's recent decision to kill off FloThemes, the Wordpress theme company we all know and love (and most of us use). Thom explains how he has already bailed and fully rebuilt his website with Kadence blocks. 

Greg then drops the bombshell that he's considering moving to a studio business model - taking bookings then sending out associate shooters to shoot the weddings, while keeping all admin and editing in-house. We talk about the positives and negatives of this approach, and the logistics of this kind of move. 

We also babble on about obscure Simpsons songs :)

Episode 156: 'FloGate' and Greg might transition to a studio business model

Hi Snaps, so after some waffling and sausage eating, Thom and Greg get to the meat on the bone and discuss their Top 10 Tips for brides and grooms. This is nuggie country so bring your pickaxe and get ready for some great nuggie prospecting!
